We performed a comparison between Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series and Recorded Future based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Nutanix, VMware and others in HCI."The StarWind products have enabled our organization to modernize stations where larger and more expensive equipment was not an option."
"We test live failovers every week, and so far, everything has been running smoothly without anything unexpected."
"Having the ability to migrate machines live in our environment was made possible by this software."
"Active-active work mode leads to true redundancy of storage and allows us to distribute the load between multiple nodes."
"StarWind SANs come with outstanding support."
"I've had to open a few support cases over the years due to administrator errors, and the support received was top-notch."
"The configuration is so much simpler than that of a traditional SAN with fewer points of failure to worry about."
"Virtual SAN runs on iSCSI, which is free and easy to configure. It's easy to manage from StarWind's GUI console, and it only required a few extra switch ports."
"The ease of use and the graphical user interface (GUI) are two of the most valuable features of this solution."
"It is a hyper-converged solution which integrates with the network instead of the product."
"The flexibility is its most valuable feature; the ability to quickly deploy a number of help machines. It is not constrained by what we want to do."
"The most valuable feature is that it is something small that can be more easily deployed than a full data center set of servers."
"The feature that we are most interested in is the scalability. When needed, we are able to add more nodes and scale it up further."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"We are providing this solution for the customer or converting the customer from a traditional environment to a hyper-converged environment which consolidates all management and support on a single port. This is the main benefit of using the hyper-converged versus the traditional."
"The automation is a valuable feature, it's interesting."
"As a threat intelligence tool, it's very helpful."
"The most valuable features of Recorded Future are the useful alerts it provides. If we are monitoring a domain, the solution will provide us with an alert in a prompt manner. It is simple for clients to receive alerts. The advanced search is useful for more accurate filter results."
"The intel that they were providing us over the emails was very good. If it found any hashtag in our organization's name on the dark web, a rogue IP, or a marketplace, it would send us an email and notify us that this is being mentioned, and if we want, they can take some action."
"The tool is helpful in vulnerability assessment of zero-day vulnerabilities and phishing domains. The solution provides information on any domains of the organization that has undergone phishing or any other cyberattacks."
"It can collect data from various sources, including social media and the dark web."
"The most valuable feature is Recorded Future's protection of exposed customer data on the hardware side."
"From the feedback I've received from my clients, the most valuable feature is the ability to personalize the solution. The ability to have a customized dashboard makes it easy for leadership and management to obtain details. Intelligence analysts or security engineers care about the actions and results, whereas the leadership care about graphs and reports. Recorded Future helps my clients create reports and also determine how the intelligence that is generated is consumed. They can easily show the benefits to the leadership without them having to invest 10 hours a week into transferring numbers into a graph or into creating reports."
"The most valuable feature of Recorded Future is how it detects everything regarding our domain."
"It would be nice to add the ability to use raw partitions instead of file containers."
"I would like to see improvements in the documentation area."
"This solution should be more self-sufficient, running without creating domains or failover clusters."
"I did not see any indication that StarWinds vSAN is a usable solution with non-GUI instances of Hyper-V."
"In the next release, they could make some graphs of the real-time loading, speed of storage, and interfaces. Of course, these can be viewed in other places. But, in the event of a malfunction or troubleshooting, this would be convenient."
"The number of different ways you can set it up can make it a little daunting."
"It would be helpful if StarWind provided more precise and detailed documentation explaining how to configure the solution in various scenarios, including the advantages and disadvantages of each."
"We don't really have any issues with this product."
"Deployment scripts can be improved since several clans need to be created before the deployment effectively works."
"This solution is lacking in replication and backup abilities that I would like to see in a future release similar to HPE SimpliVity."
"We would like to move off the GUI."
"The setup was complex, especially since we usually do all the planning, sizing, and workflows before integration."
"The solution's price could be affordable."
"Maybe a better version is required to gather all of the information to allow HyperFlex to bring everything online more rapidly."
"Sometimes when there are multiple technologies involved in a support case, this is when there is a bit of a lag."
"We are moving further out with more cloud solutions, so we need HyperFlex to be more cloud-connected. They should develop more connection to Amazon Web Services and Google cloud because our customers use their services and are moving in that direction."
"At present, my clients need to be trained by me or another organization on how to use Recorded Future and how to get the best out of it as an analyst, engineer, and administrator. It would be better if clients could directly learn these things without having to go through me or other organizations."
"The solution could improve in reducing the false positives. However, most of the other tools on the market have false positives. If they enhance their data algorithm, it could improve the accuracy of results and minimize false positives. Identifying patterns of false possibilities can aid in developing better reporting features that could potentially eliminate them in the future. This recording feature tool could benefit from adopting similar techniques utilized by other tools to enhance its functionality. By doing so, it could minimize the need for manual efforts in distinguishing true positives from false positives, ultimately reducing the workload."
"Recorded Future is a very expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."
"There is a semantic oncology dynamic relationship between how the MIGR Tech framework needs more data infusion enrichment capabilities."
"The solution would benefit from introducing automation."
"Lacks sufficient visibility of malware and international APT attacks."
"We can get the data of different malware active throughout the globe, but it would be good if we can do sandboxing of a file. For example, on Any Run, we can perform sandboxing of malware along with their intel about a particular file or hash. It would be great if they have a feature like that."
"The product gives many false positives. If someone talks about the brand or organization name in the public domain over chats or blocks, it gets highlighted. It may not necessarily be a threat but still gets highlighted which increases the false positive count."
