Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"​I would rate the technical support very well as they are knowledgeable and quick to respond​."

More Quest InTrust Pros →

"It has allowed us to see what is happening on our servers.""The solution has all the features that we need, however they do not work correctly.""Reports are customized, so you can present them to executives or engineers.​""AlienVault's reporting is good. I like that vulnerability assessment is part of the solution, and the UI is intuitive. Also, the overhead is low, which is to say we don't need a dedicated SOC team to manage and analyze things constantly. We're a small company that doesn't have those resources.""SIEM log collection is great, and all of the rules that support updates with maintenance.""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.""It has streamlined log aggregation and analysis to meet organizational and regulatory needs.""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."

Cons
"​It was very complex. There was poor native correlation. ​""​It needs to have better reporting. ​"

More Quest InTrust Cons →

"For creating new rules, you have to be familiar with regular expressions. I feel there could be something built-in to make sure that process is easier.""Pay attention to false-positive event automatic correlations.""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.""AlienVault cannot automatically respond to threats like other SIEM solutions, such as Sentinel and LogRhythm. Most of our clients are far away, so it's often challenging to handle alerts when they come up on our dashboard.""Search performance can be slow. The Raw Logs feature is painfully slow. And if we're talking about the newer, the Anywhere product, you can't even schedule reports on the thing. There are probably a dozen other features I'd really like to see there, but that would be one of the biggies.""The solution is a bit complicated. It could be simplified quite a bit.""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.""Windows log collection works with HIDS, but documentation is sparse and confusing."

  • "Pricing is very competitive with other products and you get much more functionality from AlienVault."

  • "Do the one month trial and try to work out the kinks during it, as it has free support and service hours."
  • "We checked out several competitors. For what it can do and the cost, it was the best option!"
  • "Use the AlienVault team. They are helpful and the documentation that they provide is second to none."
