"A Game-Changer in Our Dark Web Monitoring Strategy"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Flashpoint?

Flashpoint excels in seamlessly integrating data from surface, deep, and dark web sources, offering an ideal solution for initiating your company's intelligence program. It effectively narrows down pertinent information, simplifying the process of taking actionable steps based on your findings. User-friendly and efficient, it streamlines intelligence gathering and analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flashpoint?

While Flashpoint's use of boolean logic can initially present a learning curve, they offer comprehensive resources that enable quick and effective acclimation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flashpoint solving and how is that benefiting you?

Flashpoint has been instrumental in identifying threat actors targeting our business. By analyzing discussions on Flashpoint, we've uncovered various methods and tactics they use. Without this tool, we would spend countless hours not only in manual review but also in locating and accessing the necessary sources. Flashpoint significantly streamlines this process.

"The Ignite platform is a sleek interface that is easy to use"

4/5

What do you like best about Flashpoint?

The deduplication functionality and the cleaner interface Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flashpoint?

It's slow to load when scrolling through a thread. The search functionality can also be somewhat unreliable. In particular, we need to have a reliable way of identifying all posts from a unique user on a platform (e.g. User ID on Telegram). This doesn't appear to exist for non-Telegram forums. In FP Tools we could use User FPIDs for that purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flashpoint is the best threat intelligence tool you will ever use"

5/5

What do you like best about Flashpoint?

The user interface is a lot cleaner and the mechanics of navigating through Ignite is much faster. The best thing about Ignite is the ability to submit RFI's directly through the platform, and the ability to request access to closed online communities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flashpoint?

The only thing I have disliked so far is how long it has taken to get our alerts transferred over to Ignite from FPtools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flashpoint solving and how is that benefiting you?

We track what fraudsters are saying about us on the underground fraud communities on various forums and Telegram chats. This allows us to diligently track threat actors and fraudsters across multiple communities and create security controls based upon what methods fraudsters are using to perform fraud against us. We also use Flashpoint to monitor standard cybersecurity threat actors such as APT and financially motivated threat actors and their activities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intelligence that matters"

4.5/5

5/5

What do you like best about Flashpoint?

Data acquisition is second to none - they have it all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flashpoint?

The API and platform is not geared towards developers or enterprises trying to consume the data in bulk. Their "firehose" offerring is cost prohibitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Making searching for compromised credentials easy"

5/5

What do you like best about Flashpoint?

An extremely robust solution for keeping tabs on corporate users and credentials. The API is fantastic allowing for auto integration into our Xsoar playbook. Adhoc search are quite easy, just drop a name and wait for the results. The new edition of buying from the darkweb is really interesting and eye-opening on what's really happening on the internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flashpoint?

Theirs so many options and data that can take a while to really get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
