EclecticIQ Platform vs. IntSights Cyber Intelligence, from Rapid7

ElecticIQ has an architecture where it usually needs decent computing power within the organisation. The central console along with the ELK servers and PostgreSQL sever needs their own space in a distributed setup. This could be a little too expensive for small-scale organisations. But for the organizations having mid to large-scale networks. EIQ is a decent solution to serve the purpose.

It has been a brilliant tool and we have harnessed it for so many applications - Threat intelligence, Risk Analysis, Automation, Endpoint protection, Vulnerability Management, Application Security, Protecting all our Cloud Applications. We love the fact that we only have to see those threats that are meaningful to us.
We don't need clutter and endless dashboards with information that just gets in the way and makes things complicated. By having this full, crisp, easily discernible visibility, our decision-making is enhanced and we can see clearly what's happening in real time. We also love the fact that if a dashboard isn't proving to be productive, then we can go ahead and scrap it, and create another one. The tailor made/bespoke aspect of the Application is the thing that really sets it
apart. By having all our dashboards aligned, our teams are all working from the same page and it means we are safe in the knowledge that our systems and applications are being monitored in the most effective and efficient ways.
There haven't been any real scenarios where it has been ineffective. - perhaps just In-depth Risk Vulnerability Analytics
are a bit lacking. However, I'm probably just picking hairs there.

• Effective correlation of IOCs
• Averaging out the Confidence Score based on different intel sources.
• Serves as an excellent liaison points between the Intels and SIEM/SOAR stack.

• Misses on a global search bar which can directly gives out the result like VirusTotal.
• The GUI could be more friendlier. Too many filters and graphs may overwhlem the user sometimes.
• The ElasticSearch(searching for IOC in the in-house EIQ database) is a little slow compared to its counterparts.

The most important feature of EclecticIQ which gives it an edge compared to other TIPs is that it performs segregation of IOCs based on the relevance of it and the links that IOCs might have which other adversaries. The graphical format mapping where the user can easily figure out how the IOCs have connections to different binaries is another advantage. One can set the half-life time for an IOC which will reduce the confidence score as per one's need.

IntSights Cyber Intelligence, from Rapid7 was by far the clear winner, in terms of seamless integration with our exisitng systems, deployment, cleaner User Interface, ease of operation, better for monitoring Indicators of compromise and dark web information, having more features etc.

• Positive: Effective usage of all the premium Intels in a uniform fashion. No need to log in to each tool time and again.
• Positive: SOC Analysts spends lesser time on the internet and the analysis for the IOCs with graphical format is fulfilled by EclecticIQ.
• Negative: Higher costs over the resource utilization in the initial setup.
