"Great customer service"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Flashpoint?

I only use the browser to be able to search without blocked websites. It's very easy to use.

Furthermore, the customer service is great. When we have a question, we can email and get a response quickly. We also have quartely meetings with our Flashpoint rep for any questions we may have or for them to present to us any new features on Flashpoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flashpoint?

The dashboard can be difficult to navigate but that's just because I don't use the other features other than the internet browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Does not address the fixes we were looking for"
3/5
What do you like best about Flashpoint?

1. Search results typically load faster than they did in FP tools.

2. Actor profiles are very helpful

3. RFI portal is helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flashpoint?

1. We have been involved with Beta testing for months and very key features in fp.tools that we have said we need to see in Ignite are not being integrated (most notably a quick look timeline for search results)

2. We are still getting inconsistencies in results across both platforms

3. Loading failures are still occuring

4. Ignite AI is not useful for the granulatity of research that our analysts do - a lot of the actors we focus on are not the very common ones covered in intelligence products.

5. We understand that Flashpoint is leaning more heavily on the malware and cyber threats focus, but it seems as though it's coming at the expense of the traditional dark web monitoring offierings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
