Recorded Future Reviews & Product Details

As I’ve been using the TI tool, I’ve found that it pulls from an enormous range of sources—dark web, open web, malware analysis, threat feeds, and AI—and helps us process that information in real-life workflows with well-updated insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, this tool is good in nature and provides almost all the threat-hunting capabilities I need, along with other hunting features and smart threat intelligence. It also delivers results for tactics, which is helpful. Because of that, I don’t really have any dislikes from my point of view, and the same goes for the members in my environment.

Best thing about RF is its ability to aggregate, enrich, and correlate intelligence data across multiple sources to support threat analysis and investigative workflows. The correlation logic and analytics support use cases such as threat actor tracking, campaign analysis, and pattern identification across incidents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial effort required for setup and tuning to achieve optimal results could be a little time consuming and required skilled resources. Alos, the browser extension could have more feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Recorded Future because of its API connectivity, which I use to automate some of my workflows. The breadth of sources is impressive, making it a valuable tool for gathering diverse threat intelligence. I also find it easy to use. The initial setup was smooth, and the Recorded Future team was helpful with the setup and handholding process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think there's too much noise in the alerts, especially with logo mentions. As a financial institution, my logo shows up on many e-commerce sites and pages, which are flagged as alerts even though they're genuine and not abusive. This might be considered logo abuse for other industries, but it's not relevant to us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Recorded Future daily for risk scores, vulnerability intel and threat context.

Instead of checking multiple sources, the platform gives everything in one place, which saves a lot of time during investigations.

The alerts module provides targeted information on the subjects we've set up, allowing us to concentrate on actual risks instead of unnecessary noise.

One unexpected benefit is how much easier it made reporting to management, since the insights are already well explained and easy to share. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few areas where Recorded Future could be improved to make day-to-day use smoother.

The UI and dashboards are powerful, but they can feel cluttered at times, especially when I’m trying to quickly spot the most relevant risks during active investigations.

Also, regarding the sandboxing experience, adding clipboard support would be a helpful improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

RF delivers robust threat intelligence with clear context, making it straightforward to understand and implement. The interface is user-friendly and efficient, and it offers strong integration capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing may be considered high for smaller teams. Additionally, if the RF is not properly tuned, it can result in a large number of false positive alerts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Recorded Future for monitoring vulnerabilities to strengthen our security posture. It filters out noise and helps focus on critical vulnerabilities. I appreciate its ability to turn massive threat data into actionable insights, which saves time from manual sifting and analyzing. I enjoy it because it's fast and intuitive. The initial setup was easy and smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customization or prioritization of alerts would be great. Alert management and a customizable dashboard would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Large amount of information available along with the historical data. Brand monitoring, threat monitoring, vulnerability monitoring and TPRM related solutions are very useful and informative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bulk reports are not possible in case of reputation checks or analysis. For example, If I have multiple IP addresses, I cannot upload and get the malicious score in one go. I have to manually look for all the records. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a cybersecurity professional, I use RF every day. The recorded future portal is pretty simple and easy to use. The insights provided are backed by an ample amount on research. Their inskit team does a fantastic job of providing exclusive information about the threat actor which is not available publicly. Implementation is also pretty straight-forward. Multiple options to integrate threat feeds to other tools like SIEMs and EDRs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer support is sometimes a hit or a miss. We have been in some instances where an IoC was categorized as malicious and after opening the ticket they changed the verdict of that IP as clean. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recorded Future delivers real-time threat intelligence that integrates smoothly into our security workflows. I especially appreciate the Interactive Sandbox, and the ease of implementation of the Advanced Query Builder, and the platform’s ability to gather intelligence from the dark web — all of which make threat analysis faster and more insightful.

The integration with Anomaly was seamless in our case, and I use the platform daily as a core part of my work.

Also, a big shoutout to our point of contact, John Percic, who is always responsive and helpful whenever we have questions or need guidance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few areas where the tool could improve. Sometimes, domain-related data is missing from Playbook alerts during ingestion, which is critical since such domains are often linked to organizational fraud. Additionally, the Identity module doesn’t always trigger alerts at the time of a breach, which delays response. In some cases, we’ve also noticed that the threat intelligence data appears slightly delayed compared to other tools we’ve used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recorded Future excels at retrieving information from obscure and deep parts of the internet and providing valuable and meaningful insights that other tools have been unable to do. I also appreciate that Recorded Future offers a comprehensive set of tools for cybersecurity operations teams, including vulnerability and identity intelligence.
