"Faster threat detection with smooth integrations"
What do you like best about GreyNoise?

GreyNoise has really helped us understand what is actually going on in our network instead of getting confused by too many alerts. It clearly shows which threats are real and how an attacker might try to enter, so we know where to take action. The dashboard is simple and gives useful details like risky IPs, their location, and what they are targeting, which makes monitoring easier. It also adds proper context to logs and alerts, helping us quickly decide what to ignore and what to block. We were able to spot missing patches and unusual activity much faster. Setup was quick since there was no agent needed, and it has saved a lot of manual effort for the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GreyNoise?

One concern I have is that even though GreyNoise provides clear data about threats, it does not always go deeper in suggesting the next steps, so the team still has to spend time figuring out what action to take. It would be more helpful if the intelligence side was a bit more proactive. Also, when it comes to cost, it does deliver value, but for smaller teams the pricing can feel a bit on the higher side compared to how much work still needs to be done manually. With stronger built-in insights and automation, it would feel more worth the investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Makes security monitoring more focused and efficient"
What do you like best about GreyNoise?

I regularly check firewall logs, web server activity, and login attempts, and GreyNoise makes this process much easier by adding clear context to what’s actually happening. Instead of showing a long list of possible issues, it highlights real threats and attack paths, helping me understand which IPs risky and what kind of activity are is targeting our systems. The dashboard is simple, updates quickly, and shows useful details like risk scores, origin countries, and targeted networks, so I can act faster without deep investigation. It also helps identify missing patches and unusual traffic patterns, which improves our overall security posture. Since it works without any agent, setup was smooth and it saves a lot of manual effort, especially for smaller teams managing multiple alerts daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GreyNoise?

One thing I feel is missing is deeper smart insights, as it mostly shows what is happening but does not always suggest what action to take next. It would be better if it had stronger AI to guide decisions automatically. Also, integrations with tools like SIEM or other security systems could be smoother, since connecting everything sometimes takes extra effort. Better automation and tighter integrations would save more time for teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best tool to understand global and local security risks"
What do you like best about GreyNoise?

GreyNoise makes things easier by showing real threats instead of just a long list of possible issues. It helps me clearly see which IPs are risky, what kind of activity is happening, and where attacks could come from. The dashboard is simple and updates quickly, so I can track suspicious behavior without much effort. I also like that it adds proper context to alerts, so I know what needs action and what can be ignored. Setup was smooth since it works without any agent, and it saved a lot of time compared to manual checking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GreyNoise?

One thing that could be better is the integrations. While GreyNoise gives very useful data on its own, connecting it smoothly with other tools like SIEMs or existing security systems is not always as simple as expected. Sometimes it takes extra effort to align the data flow or make it work properly with current workflows. If integrations were more seamless and plug and play, it would save time and make it even more effective in daily operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Helpful for Tracking Patterns Across Shifts"
What do you like best about GreyNoise?

I sometimes notice the same IPs or types of activity appearing repeatedly across different alerts. GreyNoise is useful because it lets me see patterns over time, so I don’t treat every occurrence as a separate problem. The interface is straightforward, and results appear quickly, which helps me review multiple items without slowing down. It also integrates well with the other tools I use daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GreyNoise?

For everyday use, some sections include more detail than I need. A compact view highlighting the most relevant information would make it easier to go through multiple alerts faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GreyNoise: Critical C2 Detection and IP Timeline Insights for Proactive Threat Hunting"
What do you like best about GreyNoise?

GreyNoise is a critical asset for proactive detection. The C2 Detection feature is particularly valuable, providing visibility into outbound traffic to known attacker infrastructure. I also appreciate the IP Timeline and historical data, which are essential for retrospective analysis and refining our threat hunting queries with real world scanning context. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GreyNoise?

The learning curve for advanced GNQL queries can be steep. More interactive documentation or a visual query builder for multi stage threat parameters would be a great addition for the engineering team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Valuable platform for managing high volumes of security alerts"
What do you like best about GreyNoise?

GreyNoise has been very helpful in understanding what kind of activity is happening against our internet facing systems. It allows us to quickly search IP addresses by risk level and identify the most suspicious traffic or unusual hosting providers. This gives us a clearer picture of what is actually being scanned in our network and helps us block unauthorized access more confidently. I also like how it adds context to firewall logs, web server events, and other alerts so we can quickly see whether an IP is part of normal internet scanning or something more serious. It helps us identify endpoints that may be missing important security patches and reduce potential vulnerabilities. The platform also makes it easier to create firewall rules because malicious IPs and hosts are clearly classified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GreyNoise?

The tagging feature is helpful, but sometimes it needs a bit of fine-tuning to make sure IP status alerts are triggered correctly. Also, because the platform shows a lot of detailed data, it can feel a bit heavy to navigate during urgent investigations. In those situations, I sometimes export the results to review or share them more easily. A simpler incident focused view would make it easier to focus on the most important details quickly.

"Makes threat investigation faster by adding context to suspicious IP activity"
What do you like best about GreyNoise?

GreyNoise has been a very reliable tool and it was quite easy for us to set up and start using in our environment. The dashboard is very helpful because it clearly shows information about suspicious IP addresses, their risk scores, the country they come from, and which networks they are targeting. It also scans the network very quickly and updates the dashboard whenever new threats appear, which helps us stay aware of possible risks. I like that it is easy to search by risk level to identify the most malicious IPs and unusual traffic patterns. This helps us understand what kind of scanning or probing activity is happening against our internet facing systems. It also helps us find endpoints that may be missing security patches so we can fix them before they become a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GreyNoise?

The platform provides a lot of detailed data, which is useful, but during fast-moving incidents it can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming to review everything quickly. When investigating a potential threat, I occasionally export the results so it’s easier to analyze and share with the team. A more simplified, incident focused view inside the platform would make it easier to identify the most important details during high pressure situations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GreyNoise Clearly Maps Real Attack Paths with Strong Agentless Scanning"
What do you like best about GreyNoise?

The most important thing here is that it presents actual attackable paths as opposed to a listing of “potential” vulnerabilities that may or may not represent an issue and with GreyNoise, you receive factual evidence including captured credentials and the entire attack chain illustrated clearly so you can view how an attacker would penetrate your environment and where to stop them. It operates without installing a client (agent) and I have zero complaints regarding the agentless operation of GreyNoise; in particular, I think this is excellent for smaller teams who formerly had to manually spend upwards of a week to accomplish the same tasks that GreyNoise provides in under a week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GreyNoise?

The only complaint I have is that you can only perform one scan at a time. That’s it – that’s my gripe and it’s a big one – If another application is currently scanning your network, then you’re simply waiting for that other application to finish scanning and waiting can become tedious very quickly when you’re checking multiple environments.
