Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The ability to browse logs from multiple sources at the same time really speeds up root cause analysis.""The most valuable feature of Rapid7 InsightOps is the search functionality.""We can save logs as plain text.""It has the ability to alert and track logs from different sources.""Integration of InsightOps with other tools, especially SIEM solutions, has generally improved operational efficiency."

"The USM is a work horse, no matter what devices or the number of logs we throw at it, the system processes them in real time, correlates the events, and alerts on only events that need human review.""The asset management functionality (active and passive scans) is also really important. You can't protect what you do not know about, so having an inventory of all your devices and software is critical to a security management program.""Any unusual behaviour, we can monitor. We have alerts set up to be sent when we receive signs of any unusual behaviour.""The solution has all the features that we need, however they do not work correctly.""The new cloud-based panel is excellent both for client review as well as for our SOC to review and respond to threats. It is much easier to configure and use than the previous solution from AlienVault.​""The asset management of nodes has been a large help in terms of being able to track applications with more detail and have changes made being monitored into one source.""Having everything in a central place has been helpful.""On any given day I could give you a different answer regarding the most valuable features of the product. The feature that is most important is the fact that it has a lot of features, that it's not just a log collection and correlation system, that it has a lot of other components built in. The bundle of features is really the killer feature."

Cons
"Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time.""There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution.""Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything.""Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users.""The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time."

More Rapid7 InsightOps Cons →

"The vulnerability reporting needs to have options to be able to sort or customize the output.""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.""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.""Maybe logs are the problem, as the database query is too slow. If you want to search something, you need time to find it.""I'd like to see a dashboard that's a little more descriptive.""It would be nice to see some machine learning and monitoring of the configuration in network devices.""Pay attention to false-positive event automatic correlations.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "AlienVault is flexible on their pricing for unlimited licenses."
  • "Pricing is very competitive with other products and you get much more functionality from AlienVault."
  • "QRadar, ArcSight and Splunk are some of the most expensive SIEM products out there in the market and not everyone has the budget to buy them. In such cases, AV USM is a very cost effective alternative."
  • "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."
  • "​The price point is good.​"
  • "It has good pricing."
