Find out what your peers are saying about Recorded Future, Check Point Software Technologies, Microsoft and others in Threat Intelligence Platforms."The most valuable feature is alerting."
"The logs play a crucial role as they contribute to blocking unwanted Internet traffic."
"I am impressed with the tool's integration of Palo Alto products which serves as a platform for security."
"It integrates well with other solutions and provides good threat intelligence in terms of external threats."
"The feature that I like best is the dashboard."
"Reports are customized, so you can present them to executives or engineers."
"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."
"Asset discovery and vulnerability scanner are good features. The integration between this solution and OTX, which is an AlienVault platform for Open Threat Exchange, is also a valuable feature. It is also quick and easy to deploy, so you can quickly engage with a customer's environment."
"It has powerful threat detection, incident response, and compliance management."
"This solution can identify many threats inside the organization (compromised endpoints, configuration issues), as well as "outside" threats (botnets, network scanners, web-attacks, etc)."
"The solution has all the features that we need, however they do not work correctly."
"This solution can completely detect and prevent incidents on your network."
"I can easily check (in one place) all the logs and data in relation to attacks. It also gives me an overview if a server is not configured properly."
"It is a completely cloud-based product at present."
"It would be helpful to have better documentation for configuring and installing the solution."
"It would be better if they used the threat intelligence feeds directly from their side and changing the verdict instead of us requesting it."
"I would like the tool to see more integration with Cortex XDR. There is no real reason to keep them separate."
"I would like to have more technical documentation that contains greater detail on the types of threats that are occurring."
"Their threat intelligence platform needs to be broadened. They should integrate it with more threat intelligence platforms. For the threat feed that they get from open intelligence, I would like them to add a few premium threat intelligence platforms. They can provide a bundle in which AlienVault has the threat intelligence background of other premium products."
"One area that has room for improvement is storage. AllienVault is a good place to put logs, but sometimes it's a tough place to go get logs... The logger can only hold so much data. If they improved that, that would help."
"I'd like to see a dashboard that's a little more descriptive."
"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."
"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."
"The GUI needs to improve because it's not user-friendly."
"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 vulnerability reporting needs to have options to be able to sort or customize the output."
