## What the models said for it

- "Broad intelligence platforms like Recorded Future are strongest when you need coverage across malware, actors, infrastructure, and business risk for many teams." (Perplexity Sonar, Threat intel)
- "Recorded Future operates as the intelligence cloud leader, processing over 900 billion data points daily... suits broad enterprise CTI programs" (Claude Haiku 4.5, Threat intel)
- "Recorded Future is the go‑to: depth of commercial feeds, AI‑assisted analysis, and strong SIEM/SOAR integration." (GLM 4.7 FlashX, Threat intel)
- "Recorded Future and Anomali are frequently the top picks for mid‑market teams." (MiniMax M2.5, Threat intel)

- "Verdict: Avoid if you have a limited budget or require high-volume, automated ingestion into many disparate tools." (GLM 4.7 FlashX, Threat intel)
- "What to avoid for a mid-sized business - Recorded Future — category-leading, but enterprise pricing" (DeepSeek V4 Flash, Threat intel)
- "enterprise-grade Threat Intelligence Platforms (TIPs) like Recorded Future or Google/Mandiant—which often cost upwards of $75,000 to $100,000+ annually—are typically too expensive and complex" (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Threat intel)
- "Large enterprises often buy raw, firehose-style threat feeds (like Recorded Future or Mandiant) because they have dedicated Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) teams" (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Threat intel)
