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

"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."
"In comparison to the competition, it's a very inexpensive option, whether you use the cloud or the on-premises deployment models, and you also get great value for money as you do get a lot of very good tools that come standard with the solution as well."
"Customer Service: The customer service is excellent, we have quick and knowledgeable help on all our calls."
"We were able to use the product to identify two security issues already."
"As we have to service several servers, we can manage them in a economical way, which is beneficial to our team and business."
"Previous to this, we really didn't have any protection, any intrusion system in place, and it's made me more comfortable, since I'm in charge of IT for this company, because I sleep better at night."
"We have benefited greatly due to gaining the visibility we need for different instances."
"AlienVault USM Anywhere provides us with SIEM, at a low price-point and with a great array of functionality."
"AlienVault is an amazing product that I would highly recommend."

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."
"they seem to have bugs from time to time that go unfixed for a while and that is frustrating. I'm not saying the product needs to be bug-free, but they need to be responsive to bugs."
"There were deployment issues. At the time, it was right after USM Anywhere had been released, and not all of the documentation was posted."
"There could be some type of integration with our existing portal. We have our own customer portals, and it would be good if there was an integration so that our portal can provide reports. There could be some type of API into the AlienVault system with the USM system so that it is easy to show the customers high-level reports of the system through our portal."
"I have found difficulties in searches within security events and configuring some areas looks complicated."
"The system slows down considerably when a large number of events are fed in."
"We develop additional rules and scripts to make it more usable."
"More information about what the alerts mean and how they are derived would be useful when determining their significance."
"The solution is very user-friendly, but the dashboard could be improved as well as the level of customization."
More USM Anywhere cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is affordable and it also depends on the usage of the toolset."
"They are a little more expensive than Microsoft."
"The price of this solution is reasonable, which is one of the reasons why we selected it over other solutions."
"It is affordable, and it also has many features that the premium products such as ArcSight and QRadar have. It is a very good platform for a SIEM solution. Everything is included in the price."
"So far, it has been a good solution for a tight budget."
"The licensing fees are dependent on usage."
"It has good pricing."
"I don't think the product's pricing is a good value because they try to raise the price 50 percent every year... AlienVault needs to understand that not all customers are huge enterprises... Their sales team is way too aggressive. The price they advertise is not always the price you get."
"Negotiate the best package for your environment."
