Enables automated threat intelligence sorting and enhances proactive threat hunting capabilities
You have to have at least a threat intelligence background or a SOC analyst background to use it, as that's the information you'll dig around with in there. If you don't have that kind of knowledge, it probably can be a little hard to use, but they do provide training. They offer training not only for how to use the platform but also some basic threat intelligence training to explain what these things are and what these terms mean. My company is a customer of Anomali. I would recommend it to other people. I would advise making sure you don't pick it without testing other products and have your use cases well thought out and documented before testing, so you know it will solve the problems you're trying to address. Keep an open mind with it and realize that whatever you can dream of, you can probably do with the platform. Overall, I would rate Anomali an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable aspect of Anomali is the threat modeling capability."
"I have found Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) very useful and concise. The solution is easy to use."
"The feature I have found most valuable is credential monitoring. This feature is easy and quick."
"We now have a very robust collection of threat intelligence based on the capabilities that Anomali provides."
"It's a solid platform and is stable enough. It is not complicated and is easy to use."
"We have been able to see a return on investment as our clients believe in us more."
"The tool's installation, integration, and playbooks are very straightforward."
"The product automatically generated a threat score based on the maliciousness of an IP."
"I like their customer support."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and the ability to customize it."
"ThreatConnect has a highly user-friendly interface."
"Every activity on the firewall is recorded, and notifications are sent with this solution."
"The solution has all the features that we need, however they do not work correctly."
"Ease of deployment across various environments."
"The solution also provides basic log storage options for periods of 15, 30, and 90 days."
"It has streamlined log aggregation and analysis to meet organizational and regulatory needs."
"The best feature of this product is the ease of use. It is extremely easy to set up and get going. This is a very useful tool for a small organization."
"AlientVault has helped us in improving our visualization and incident response during cybersecurity situations."
"The asset management functionality (active and passive scans) is also really important. You can't protect what you do not know about, so having an inventory of all your devices and software is critical to a security management program."
 

Cons

"Support in the past has been top-notch, but recent trends indicate that it has taken a back seat, as we often don't get answers for days."
"An area for improvement is the intelligence sharing within the Anomali community. The tagging system can be inconsistent, as any company can use any tags for their reporting."
"Less code in integration would be nice when building blocks."
"A lot of tools can give you many features, such as CTI intelligence and a tax service reduction. However, many people are combining different tools together to have more capabilities. It is up to the consumer whether they want to have multiple tools or have one tool that serves the purpose. Anomali Enterprise could improve by combining all the other tools' features into one solution."
"They should make it a little bit easier to generate events and share them with the community"
"Sometimes, when using the solution, it slows down, affecting our ability to mitigate threats."
"Integration is an area that could use some improvement."
"It would be good to have more feeds and more integrated sources for enrichment."
"Support is an area with which nobody is ever fully satisfied, so it can be improved."
"I would like to see improvements in the time zone support of their customer service, considering users are from different time zones."
"I couldn’t get any training videos online when I was working with the tool."
"I feel that some areas of improvement would be vulnerability scanning. We use a separate product that seems to do a much better job."
"Support can be slow at times, but the quality is high. Posted knowledge base articles could use improvement."
"Windows log collection works with HIDS, but documentation is sparse and confusing."
"I've been told that AlienVault doesn't have a full version of NES running in there, but I'm not sure if that's accurate or if my engineer made it that way. I'm not sure he was completely honest either because we had NES in the environment before. Those tools could be improved because AlienVault is a SIEM, and it added all these other features."
"The price of AT&T AlienVault USM could be reduced."
"I think plugin management should be self-service on AlienVault USM. The other product is self-service but on the USM side. You have to submit a ticket then AT&T creates and updates the plugins."
"The reporting module could be a little easier to handle, as it requires quite some trial and error until you get the reports you want. Also, it would be great to have a graphical interface for the Network Intrusion Detection System's rule management."
"In the future, I would like to see all these features of the solution working properly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing the price of Anomali Enterprise to other solutions it is in the medium to high range. However, I am satisfied with the price."
"The price of this product is in the mid-range, not too expensive, nor inexpensive."
"I rate the product price as six on a scale of one to ten, where one is extremely expensive, and ten means it is cheap."
"The tool is expensive."
"The price could be better."
"It has good pricing."
"We ran a few PoCs. The price and feature set were the best with AlienVault."
"Its price is in the medium to upper range."
"I rate the price of AT&T AlienVault USM a four out of five."
"It allows you to do a lot with a small price tag... The pricing is the best on the market."
"The price of this solution is reasonable, which is one of the reasons why we selected it over other solutions."
"So far, it has been a good solution for a tight budget."
"It's affordable for most customers."
