Strategic threat intelligence has improved detection speed and consistently reduces analyst workload
Anomali can be improved in various aspects. Its AI-driven automation can further advance, and AI-powered investigation summaries can improve. User experience could be enhanced through simplification of workflows. Better board-level cyber risk dashboards could provide easier visualization. Additionally, Anomali could work on simplifying the pricing structure. Although it excels in threat intelligence aggregation and operationalization, stronger GenAI capability, improved executive reporting, and a more intuitive workflow for analysts would further increase SOC efficiency and add more business value. Regarding Anomali's AI capabilities, governance and security are quite good. Anomali has incorporated AI and machine learning primarily to improve correlation and prioritization. These capabilities are valuable but could be more mature. The platform could achieve better threat correlation, prioritization, more anomaly detection, and allow AI to accelerate intelligence analysis while further improving quality and relevance. The accuracy and reliability of Anomali's AI output are fairly reasonable and good. The AI engine works well, but this capability could be improved. Better threat correlation with threat actors, certain indicators of compromise, malware, and campaigns is possible. Threat prioritization could increase, and alert noise could be reduced through further de-duplication. While reasonable, this is not the best available, and other products possibly have more AI maturity, such as Recorded Future and CrowdStrike Falcon.

Provides end-to-end antivirus protection and has good stability
Symantec Endpoint Protection provides end-to-end protection. Along with antivirus protection, it has a lot of key areas, including intrusive prevention, firewall features, and application and device control. It can integrate with other Broadcom solutions, such as Symantec Messaging Gateway and Symantec DLP. If you want to send an email, it gets scanned through endpoint protection and DLP. We get all Symantec functionality in a single pane.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I think it's one of the awesome tools I've worked with to date."
"We now have a very robust collection of threat intelligence based on the capabilities that Anomali provides."
"With Anomali, we benefit by obtaining threat information prior to incidents, making our threat hunts proactive and having incident response plans ready, which saves almost 40% of the time from the traditional model."
"Anomali is a very versatile platform, quite effective, and very fast when it comes to downloading and maintaining the information of the indicators of compromise."
"I have found Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) very useful and concise. The solution is easy to use."
"Anomali has impacted my organization positively because our SOC team, which is actively monitoring all the tools—either SIM, SOAR, or threat intelligence platform—operates in multiple shifts."
"The most valuable aspect of Anomali is the threat modeling capability."
"Anomali has positively impacted our organization with many improvements since we started using it, as we receive many block hits from them, and we can say that our coverage has been extended to 90% because we do MITRE mapping."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The most valuable feature is Click-time URL protection."
"What I like most about Symantec Advanced Threat Protection is its notification capability."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow threat protection."
"It has certainly helped out our audit efforts because we each stay compliant in terms of various security standards."
"Symantec Endpoint Protection provides end-to-end protection. Along with antivirus protection, it has a lot of key areas, including intrusive prevention, firewall features, and application and device control."
"They have a very simple and easy implementation; they have been around for a long time, and they have been very easy to deploy, support, and manage."
 

Cons

"I believe Anomali could be improved by making the user interface more user-friendly."
"Anomali can be improved, specifically the Security Analytics feature, because I feel there is a slight lag in that."
"Anomali can be improved by expanding its capability to capture a broader range of threats because it currently has limitations and may not catch everything occurring in the world, especially from the dark web."
"I can mention one point regarding improvements for Anomali, which is more enhanced reporting flexibility."
"While reasonable, this is not the best available, and other products possibly have more AI maturity, such as Recorded Future and CrowdStrike Falcon."
"Pricing and licensing are good, but the costs for purchasing threat feeds are somewhat complicated and a bit on the higher side."
"A lot of tools can give you many features, such as CTI intelligence and a tax service reduction. However, many people are combining different tools together to have more capabilities. It is up to the consumer whether they want to have multiple tools or have one tool that serves the purpose. Anomali Enterprise could improve by combining all the other tools' features into one solution."
"Anomali Enterprise could improve by combining all the other tools' features into one solution."
"The support for new OSs and older OSs could be a little tighter. They need to be more upfront about what protection services they're going to provide on new OSs. I haven't seen the Windows 11 version out yet. It is either already released in Beta, or the Beta will be released soon. There could be a little bit more advanced updates on what they're doing to help protect Windows 11 environments. They can let us know in advance so that we know it is going to be protected. We can't roll out the new OS without putting end-point protection on it. So, they should tell us what is their support model for that, and what are they doing to protect Windows 11. They're not telling me, and that's a criticism. The same issue is applicable to all the other antivirus tools. It is not just Symantec; all of them have this problem."
"An improvement could be made on the reporting because then it would be easier to collect information and submit it for compliance."
"The support team that Symantec offers didn't know how to solve issues even though they referred to themselves as "engineers"."
"The support has dropped down to a five out of ten."
"One area for improvement could be the pricing model."
"Scalability could be better."
"It should be able to collect information if the agent is disabled."
"The security features need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing the price of Anomali Enterprise to other solutions it is in the medium to high range. However, I am satisfied with the price."
"The price is quite expensive."
"The pricing of this solution is inexpensive and affordable."
"Symantec Advanced Threat Protection's pricing is comparable."
"Symantec Endpoint Protection has an average price."
"Pricing is good. It is nice to have a great product at a fair price."
