"Fast, Simple Noise Triage That Saves Us Time"
4.5/5
What do you like best about GreyNoise?

What I love about GreyNoise is how quickly and easily the search tells us, that the traffic is just background internet noise or something we should forward to the team. That alone has saved us so many unnecessary tickets and saved us a lot of time. The interface is simple to use and lookups and the context area for each origin gives us exactly what we need to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GreyNoise?

GreyNoise is a great tool, no question about it but there has to a better onboarding and documentation. The first couple of weeks were a little overwhelming but apart from that it is a well built security platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best available tool for IP scanning and strongest firewall tuning"
5/5
What do you like best about GreyNoise?

The tool gives me a clear analysis of malicious IPs scanning the internet and shows when the activity was first and last observed, what kinds of scanning behavior were detected, and points us toward the next steps on how to protect our devices that connect to the internet regularly and ensures our firewall is active.

What do you dislike about GreyNoise?

Providing more support documentation could be very helpful when we get an error and make it quicker to get to the correct answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GreyNoise Saves Me Hours Each Week by Filtering Out Junk Alerts."
4/5
What do you like best about GreyNoise?

I use GreyNoise to prescreen alert noise to get to relevant content. On a typical day, I use it with my SIEM alerts to see if an IP that is incoming is a mass scanner and nothing more. It is very useful in reducing false positives and as a result I no longer spend hours chasing noise. The context that it provides almost immediately is swift enough to make a decision. I can decide whether to escalate or if I can simply walk away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GreyNoise?

I sometimes feel that there are unnecessary streamlining interfaces. I have to navigate more than I want to and spend more time than required. I do wish that temporal lookups were faster when I need to go more than two weeks deep in my logs and I also still have to spend time investigating myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Threat Detection and Valuable Context for Network Security"
4.5/5
What do you like best about GreyNoise?

It’s one of the easiest tools to check for opportunistic scanning activity for suspicious IP addresses observed in our network logs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GreyNoise?

It’s difficult to think of anything specific off the top of my head, but I think it may be useful for community users to be able to flag IP addresses that have yet to be observed by GreyNoise’s tooling as being potential scanners in some manner, in a similar manner to things like the community tab on VirusTotal.

"GreyNoise Makes Unusual Traffic Easy to Understand and Act On"
4.5/5
What do you like best about GreyNoise?

Because we host open access scientific data, we naturally see a lot of unusual, automated traffic every day. It helps us very much in understanding what is safe traffic and what something we should look into. GreyNoise gives us very simple informing on what we should do and provides status when something looks suspicious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GreyNoise?

It’s a great tool for non profits who are in need of security tool about traffics but the interface could be made better. Some commonly used features require a few extra clicks for us to use and feels a bit full when we review IPs by file upload. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Tool With Advanced Threat Detection Capabilities."
4.5/5

What do you dislike about GreyNoise?

I haven't yet found any limitations with GreyNoise as it meets our expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Most Efficient Way I Have Found to Determine If an Alert Is as Important as It Claims to Be."
5/5
What do you like best about GreyNoise?

I utilize GreyNoise as an invaluable time saving tool and its very helpful in determining if an IP logging to my systems is worth my time or is just noise. Instead of spending time pursuing a false positive, I can initiate a cross-check of any suspicious activity, and in a moment, distinguish a mass of scanners that is visible to a few, and something that is unique to me. This helps me streamline my investigations and focus toward legitimate threats rather than sifting through a ton of irrelevant data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GreyNoise?

Once in a while, I wish that the information around specific IPs was a bit richer. I sometimes need more context around what specific steps the scanner was executing. I find the web tool somewhat of a pain, especially when I want to execute a number of queries in quick succession. I find myself having to rely on their API for bulk checks. It works well, although it takes more time to automate the surrounding steps. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it could be a bit more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GreyNoise: Speeds Up Threat Detection While Cutting Down SOC Noise."
4.5/5
What do you like best about GreyNoise?

I learn to love GreyNoise for the same reason I truly hate modal cybersecurity noises false positives namely that when an alert does sound it will actually get noticed. A clear and easily adaptable interface along with strong integration makes this an easy product to get started with for my team. Be it, automatic EDR SOAR or any of the existing tools rich in alerts gives a boast to an over 90% faster incident response workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GreyNoise?

Some of the UI seems a little outdated, and the ridiculously small characters can make for tiring eyeball sessions in the long run. Once in a while, it doesn’t automatically load the data from our EDR; I have to cross-verify it myself, which breaks the flow. Ones that immediately come to mind would be AI-driven to increase the speed of identifying newly emerged threats-something Recorded Future is already dipping its toes into.

"Flexible internet firewall offering a solid protection layer against network attack"
5/5
What do you like best about GreyNoise?

GreyNoise offers complete network protection especially for our company that requires strict data compliance. The real time scanning of the internet is very effective and its great at analyzing possible domain infection enabling us to stop access to such unwanted domains. The program is able to block IP address that indicate they are infected with malware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GreyNoise?

A con would be that the management console is not the quickest one I’ve seen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GreyNoise: Cutting Through Internet Clutter for Identifying Real Threats"
4/5
What do you like best about GreyNoise?

I really like GreyNoise for the way it shields my vision of the internet; it sifts out all that background noise and lets me concentrate on actual threats instead of running around after benign scanners. The fact that it was easy to integrate was a huge advantage; I was able to incorporate it into my workflows without much trouble. Their dashboard is user-friendly and provides me instant information without making me read a heap of jargon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GreyNoise?

At times, the pricing tiers can be confusing, and I would like them to be clearer on usage limits. Much like Cloudflare, GreyNoise can at times be almost ‘too simple’ on first use, leaving some advanced features not quite so obvious to power users. I would love to see more options for filtering and alerting, though, so that it speaks more to techies that like fine-tuning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
