It also gives you some form of intelligence into what you're trying to investigate or what you're trying to understand."
"The most valuable feature is you have the expertise of human experience directly involved. There is a team of experts."
"This product has helped to increase staff productivity."
"As we have to service several servers, we can manage them in a economical way, which is beneficial to our team and business."
"It brought our logs into one place for review and set up alarms based on changes we were missing due to lack of having one place for everything to go."
"The ease of implementation is the most valuable feature."
"Having everything in a central place has been helpful."
"It allows for a lot of out-of-the-box features: vuln scanning, HIDS/HIPS, and IDS."
"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."
"Our main focus was intrusion detection, alerts, and correlation. It's easy to use AlienVault and integrate it with other alert tools because it includes lots of connectors. Either the tool is already there, or AlienVault will write an API for us if they don't have a connector for the solution that is providing the logs."
"Asset discovery seems to be good."
"You have to look for the new information from X-Force. X-Force will provide it but you have to look for it. We need clearer visibility."
"I would like to see better integration with other systems, solutions, and vendors."
"We would like to have more AI capabilities to detect threats and improve its productivity from a cybersecurity standpoint."
"AT&T AlienVault USM can improve searchable data. It should be available for more than 90 days. If you need more than 90 days of data, you have to put a request and they give you raw data, which is not easy to search. A good addition would be to allow users to search data older than 90 days."
"The GUI needs to improve because it's not user-friendly."
"The dashboard could be improved as well as the level of customization."
"We've had some stability problems, not a lot, but a few. Updates seem to be the worst. That seems to be when the stability problems come up."
"This solution could be easier to use."
"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."
"The reporting is mediocre and is something that needs to be improved."
"The solution already has quite good tools, however, they need better integration tools for linking with Office 365, Google Suite, and so on."
