"Best threat intelligence tool in our arsenal"
What do you like best about Flashpoint?

Flashpoint has the most comprehensive deep and dark web coverage we've seen to date. We love that we can search across ignite for any keyword and get actionable intelligence that can mean the difference between an open and close case investigation. It is easy to add things to ongoing investigations within Flashpoint to collect relegvant data about any one investigation over a long period of time. I love that we can get easy insights into some of the metadata for these findings too. Cross-referencing usernames with posting activity has been invaluable for our Fraud team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flashpoint?

Probably the price, but with one of the best service offerings in the industry you get what you pay for. We could use more than five seats for our organization but price controls prevent us from doing so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great in a pinch"
What do you like best about Flashpoint?

We use multiple tools for deep/dark web monitoring for cyber security purposes. Flashpoint Ignite is helpful in instances where we don't know exactly what we're looking for, but want to get a general idea of the chatter out there around a specific topic. I find the image search to be particularly powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flashpoint?

In terms of cyber security, dedicated cyber intel tools are more feature rich for intel and alerts. However, as mentioned in the previous section, the search feature is very robust and earns Ignite a spot in my tool kit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If my company uses a password manager and I change them regularly. Am I still at risk if my work email is involved in a data breach?
