"Powerful/Resourceful Threat Intelligence Platform with Real-Time Insights"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Recorded Future?

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.

What do you dislike about Recorded Future?

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.

What problems is Recorded Future solving and how is that benefiting you?

Recorded Future helps us detect and respond to threats more effectively. It identifies impersonating domains and logo misuse, which are often used in fraud attempts, helping us take action before damage occurs. The platform also monitors for identity breaches, giving us visibility into compromised credentials. These capabilities, along with dark web intelligence and real-time alerts, significantly strengthen our organization’s threat detection and response efforts.

"Comprehensive Solution with Stellar Integration for MSSPs"

5/5

What do you like best about Recorded Future?

I truly value the comprehensive intelligence offerings that Recorded Future provides, including Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), vulnerabilities, and brand intelligence. This platform is renowned in the industry, particularly for its capabilities in providing intel that meets the diverse needs of my customers. I appreciate the multi-tenant environment it offers, allowing a streamlined management process as part of my Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) base SKUs. Furthermore, I appreciate the ease of use after initial setup, facilitated by the training and certification provided to my technical team. The solution becomes even more attractive with its ability to integrate seamlessly with other platforms, offering compounded value. Recorded Future’s partnership with us is invaluable, and their ongoing enhancements, especially in automation and AI, are compelling. I find the diversity of features—from tech integration to effective attack management and vulnerability intelligence—consistently beneficial for both my operations and my clients. Additionally, the platform’s evolution towards strategic partnerships and the integration of threat intel providing a holistic view is a significant highlight for strategic growth in my organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recorded Future?

Couple of improvements that i assume is being worked upon, threat intel, threat hunting feeds, integrated with the risk recon which is part of Mastercard and with CrowdStrike. This integration process seems to be ongoing, but it is presently not fully realized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are many more customization features now. We can see more indepth details about threats, vulnerabilities, create alerts on them for literally everything and that is the added advantage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recorded Future?

When PoC is released for a vulnerability, it is update late on Rf. If we can have done it proactively with proper verified poc, it will be helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"High Fidelity Tool with Integration Challenges"

4/5

What do you like best about Recorded Future?

I have been using Recorded Future for about four years as a fresh intelligence tool, and I truly enjoy the tool. The fidelity and granularity of Recorded Future stand out remarkably as compared to other threat intelligence platforms. Its detail-oriented nature allows me to gain deep insights into threat actors related to various IOCs, which I find invaluable for my work as a threat analyst. Additionally, I find the GUI of Recorded Future to be significantly more user-friendly than other tools like CrowdStrike or Mandiant, making it much easier for me to navigate and utilize effectively. Moreover, I appreciate the tool's ability to set alerts for potential threats, enabling quick and informed responses to any malicious activities reported on platforms like Telegram. Even though setting up integrations can be tricky, the supportive customer service has made the process manageable. Overall, the ability to search IOCs easily and gather comprehensive information quickly strengthens my ability to defend the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recorded Future?

{"I find setting up integrations quite difficult, especially with Okta. It's confusing to understand what configurations would lock customers out and what keeps them in.","I experience difficulties with the ASM module, mainly due to the company's large scale and the need to segment many domains into different business organizations.","I've noted that the bulk upload functionality for IOCs is lacking. Currently, I have to upload IP addresses one by one, which is time-consuming compared to a bulk upload option.","The AI prediction functionality does not meet expectations, as I find it clunky and sometimes non-functional."} Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Essential Tool with Easy Setup and High Utility"

5/5

What do you like best about Recorded Future?

I appreciate how easy it was to set up Recorded Future—it made the initial process straightforward and hassle-free. The software provides valuable insights into the geopolitics around Bonnie Blue, which is crucial for me as it informs me about international travel trends related to this area. This feature particularly stood out, as it helps me track where Bonnie Blue is going to be every week, allowing me to plan visits accordingly. Overall, Recorded Future's ability to deliver timely and pertinent information regarding locations and events is impressive. I even find it compelling enough to consider purchasing a license next year so long as these updates continue. My likelihood to recommend this service to others is extremely high, indicative of my satisfaction with its capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recorded Future?

I don't like that Recorded Future cannot provide me with precise future predictions regarding Bonnie Blue's whereabouts two days in advance. This feature would be incredibly useful for planning and would enhance the service significantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Actionable Intelligence with Room for Better Integration"

4/5

What do you like best about Recorded Future?

What I like best about Recorded Future is how quickly it gives me actionable intelligence. Instead of just raw data, it provides real context around threats — who’s behind them, what they’re targeting, and how they connect to other activity. It saves me a ton of research time and helps me make smarter security decisions faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recorded Future?

Overall, I really like Recorded Future, but some of the modules can feel a bit siloed, and there are a few limitations in how data flows between them. It would be great to see more seamless integration across modules and deeper customization in dashboards and alerts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Recorded Future solving and how is that benefiting you?

Recorded Future helps solve the challenge of turning massive amounts of threat data into actionable intelligence. It consolidates information from open, dark, and technical sources, then adds context so we can prioritize what really matters. This has reduced our investigation time, improved our ability to detect emerging threats early, and made our overall security posture more proactive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effective Threat Intelligence with Room for UI Improvement"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Recorded Future?

I like the Recorded Future platform a lot. I find it to be a very useful platform, especially for thread intelligence. The geopolitical mapping is another aspect that I find very beneficial. Additionally, the event creation methodology is extremely useful, and I really appreciate the threat intelligence landscape it offers. The platform also features new developments in the cyber hunt engine that are expected to enhance its usability. I also find setting up Recorded Future was straightforward without any difficulties. Overall, it is a very effective platform for understanding new developments and staying updated with what's happening. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recorded Future?

I find the user interface to be overly complex, with too many menu options on the initial page. It could benefit from being made simpler and more intuitive. Introducing an AI assistant to help navigate the platform could also enhance the user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"RF Review"

5/5

What do you like best about Recorded Future?

The best part about RF is that it's a one stop shop for intel, whether its analysis of an IOC, or reading insight reports correlated to an event, or an IOC in general. I use this platform everyday, and probably wouldn't be able to do by job effectively as I could.

Over all integration of connectors are simple to setup. The API documentation is stellar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recorded Future?

One thing that I don;t see in the platform, that I would like to see is some community with RF clients. It would be interesting to see notes of analysts in the platform. I know there is a community portal for RF, but it seems like no one uses it. Similar to the ex. of Virustotal comments for an indicator lookup. But that's really it.

"Manager of Cyber Threat Intelligence"

5/5

What do you like best about Recorded Future?

I find the Threat Module to be very helpful in giving my organization the ability to identify potential threats. Recorded Future also provides us with the tools, information, and direction on taking proactive actions against those threats to better protect the organization. As a traditional Threat Intelligence Platform, it meets or exceeds every expectation that I have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recorded Future?

There are very few downsides to using Recorded Future. The only downside that my organization has observed is that the online portal is rather difficult to navigate and the advanced searching capabilities are hard to begin using as well. This has been mitigated by free leaning resources, certifications, and demos by Recorded Future though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Recorded Future solving and how is that benefiting you?

Recorded Future is solving the problem that every Cyber Security team should be concerned with: who is likely to attack me. We refer to this as an Intelligence Requirement (IR) and it is one of the most important questions we can ask in order to protect our organization. Their methods of making that determination are what sets them apart from other Threat Intelligence providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
