One downside I’ve noticed is that it feels most effective when paired with other Cisco security tools, so it may not be as flexible in more mixed environments. Some of the technical detail can also take time to fully digest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Technical support is a disaster, false reputation scores"

0/5

What do you like best about Cisco Talos?

"Cisco" trademark. Otherwise we had only bad experience with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Talos?

We've been in contact with Cisco Talos Intelligence Group for more than a week to solve a problem on their side and we provided all the technical information. At first we got generic answers and now it looks like that technical support is nonexistent. Is this really supposed to be Cisco? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable and Transparent - Excellent Security Tool"

5/5

What do you like best about Cisco Talos?

I love the interface when you first navigate to the website. It gives you alerts on current/active Incidents involving Spam, Malware or Legitimate Emails. I also like the indicators on the homepage that reference incident numbers of certain events in a specific region. The Podcast feature is another great feature as well. It gives a personal insight to the individuals in the Information Technology industry and what hot items are in the news to discuss and further breakdown to what could help prevent events like that from happening. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Talos?

I don't really have any specific dislikes about the tool. But if I had to stay what I wish was available on the website were training videos on how to get the most out of the website for those who may not know what they're looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cisco Talos:

I would highly recommend you add Cisco Talos to your security tool reference list. The overall experience and expertise used to add such recent and relative information is extremely important for any level of IT Specialist. I remember being introduced to this product when I first began my studies at UoH. My IT Security course introduced basic knowledge articles, websites and tools used to always stay informed with on-going on resolved incidents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cisco Talos solving and how is that benefiting you?

Active Incidents and what proactive measures my employer can take to avoid disruptions. I realized that I can help provide game plans on items that may impact clients I support or reference material. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
