Senior Director, Products & Solutions at Etek international

Offers insights into past events and future incidents before they occur

I rate the product a nine out of ten. Organizations should evaluate how the solution will impact their organization and align with their security goals rather than solely focusing on the features the solution offers. The capabilities of a solution may vary, and it's essential to prioritize your specific requirements and choose the one that best meets those needs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product provides a collective view through the Enterprise Security Manager, offering insights into past events and heuristics about future incidents before they occur and impact the organization."

"All of these features combined create a compelling "one-stop" package for a business that needs security monitoring and analytics."

"Easy to use, scalable, stable, and very intuitive platform that provides protection against security threats."

"The new cloud-based panel is excellent both for client review as well as for our SOC to review and respond to threats."

"We are very happy, the training was excellent, and the interaction with AlienVault is first rate - a real leader in customer service, and the OTX pulse feature is very useful."

"It provides a single pane of glass view, coupled with a whole security ecosystem. The ability to manage everything from a central point, including vulnerability assessments, asset management - including the services provided by the various hosts, NIDS, HIDS, etc. - provides a very efficient way of dealing with things."

"ATT AlienVault USM support is very good, they respond quickly to our needs."

"The UI is clean and easy to use."

"OTX is a great module that lets staff maintain and monitor updates regarding events in the infrastructure and takes decision to improve the security perimeter."

More USM Anywhere pros

Cons

"ArcSight Security Open Data Platform needs to improve stability. Support has deteriorated after the acquisition of OpenText. It should also improve market awareness."

"We would love to be able to create custom rules based on a series of events, to create rule-sets where, for example, failed logins to the VPN Server are logged and then when a successful attempt follows soon after, it triggers an alarm for a Brute Force."

"It was easy on PoC, but when we got to the product it was different story. We had to learn the product again and got feeling that the PoC was a different product."

"Reporting is convoluted and difficult at times, although they claim to have hundreds of pre-built reports, very few of them are actually useful for anything but what the USM is doing."

"The one thing I continue to dislike about the USM is the limitation on reports."

"Creating directives is a pain on its own, but editing them can be a nightmare filled with tedious unnecessary steps."

"The next release will include cloud security and it will support a hybrid IT environment, furthermore the OTX has a great added value but it will help when there is more OTX information in the database."

"Taking into account that server access credentials are controlled by the tool, some more management-focused actions could be performed from AlienVault."

"Technical Support: We received average support. As observed, the support engineers take a long time for issue resolution."
