Informative dashboards and integrates well with other products, but it needs artificial intelligence for more advanced threat detection
The product can be developed by bringing in AI and ML-based logic to learn from external emerging threats. This would help to keep the feeds real-time and secure the client's environment. Furthermore, it should use automation to notify customers or remediate the environment. The analytics and big data platform integration can be improved to provide better visibility of past data to look for existing threats or missed threats. It will be better able to predict future threats and be resilient against new threats, risks, or attacks. A cloud-based solution can be bought in to look for wider issues in external users or technologies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Students becoming acclimated to the product can go out into the field and have first-hand knowledge on how to use a USM or SIEM product."
"AlienVault has provided a nice, unified system for monitoring and reporting."
"There are multiple tools for information security. The solution includes all the latest advances on the network and host intrusion detection systems."
"The solution is stable."
"Easy to use, scalable, stable, and very intuitive platform that provides protection against security threats."
"We were able to use the product to identify two security issues already."
"The most valuable feature in AT&T AlienVault USM is the reporting."
"As we have to service several servers, we can manage them in a economical way, which is beneficial to our team and business."
More LevelBlue USM Anywhere pros
"All of the feeds can be enriched by using the predefined content pack, which can be deployed and used by SOC operations, threat hunting teams, and engineering teams."
 

Cons

"The biggest improvement they could do is to provide full support for IPv6 addressing."
"I had a renegade plugin that was installed by the company who helped me with the initial setup. The plugin was missing a command to rotate logs and would fill my hard drives capacity to full quickly."
"The solution is very user-friendly, but the dashboard could be improved as well as the level of customization."
"As it includes multiple security softwares, the installation and configuration takes a lot of time."
"The reporting could do with some improvements for example the vulnerability report only tells you what vulnerabilities are open and lists them but there is no indication of how old they are at a glance and what vulnerabilities have been closed since the previous scans."
"I would like to see it be able to run on any hardware via just an installer."
"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 log query capability is pretty restrictive and I find myself searching through raw logs via command line more often than the GUI."
More LevelBlue USM Anywhere cons
"The analytics and big data platform integration can be improved to provide better visibility of past data to look for existing threats or missed threats."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AlienVault is flexible on their pricing for unlimited licenses."
"We ran a few PoCs. The price and feature set were the best with AlienVault."
"​The vulnerability management solution is worse than buying a Nessus Professional license.​"
"It is a product that is priced in a medium range, making it neither a cheap nor a costly product."
"The pricing is a good value. The key thing is that for the new product, the licensing of it, is subscription-based and it's based on data. Clients need to be really careful when thinking about that, because odds are they're going to need to put a lot more data into it than what they initially estimate, which is going to drive their subscription costs up."
"The licensing fees are dependent on usage."
"AT&T AlienVault USM is an expensive solution and we pay for the license and the support separately. We paid for the license and support for three years."
"I rate the price of AT&T AlienVault USM a four out of five."

"The cost is affordable and it also depends on the usage of the toolset."
