Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Axiom Team has positively impacted my organization mainly in terms of cost, as we have reduced our logging cost by approximately half."
"Axiom Team has positively impacted the organization by greatly reducing logging costs."
"Customer support is excellent."
"The main menu: You can see everything there, what is happening on the servers, and in the logs, you can view more details of each event."
"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."
"We used, tested, and tried several solutions prior to this solution; this solution answered too many questions under one reasonable cost, as opposed to piecemealing everything together for more money."
"It provides a single pane of glass view, coupled with a whole security ecosystem. The ability to manage everything from a central point, including vulnerability assessments, asset management - including the services provided by the various hosts, NIDS, HIDS, etc. - provides a very efficient way of dealing with things."
"The most valuable feature is threat intelligence."
"SIEM capabilities, vulnerability scanning, asset discovery/management features."
"The most useful feature is the customization for alarms, alerts, and reports."
 

Cons

"Axiom Team can be improved by ingesting logs faster, if possible."
"The vulnerability scanning feature is one of the areas where the product has certain shortcomings and needs to improve. The tool has vulnerability scanning, but it is not that efficient."
"User friendly interface could be an advantage. Sometimes we may face trouble when we were going through the settings of AlienVault SIEM."
"The reporting and dashboards have room for improvement."
"I'd like to see a dashboard that's a little more descriptive."
"They should simplify the HIDS agent reporting/custom rule creation."
"I knocked off a point for the learning curve compared to some of the competition and another point for the lack of native user behavior analytics but for the money you really can't do any better."
"Reporting and Windows log collection is the biggest drawback."
"There are scalability issues due to a 60 TB limit, which restricts its use for large customers like banks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"I don't know exactly, but I know it is based on the number of logs and the retention duration, such as 30 days or something like that. So, the smallest package is about 500 a month for 30 days of logs. There is a virtual machine. You need resources for it. It is a log collecting VM. They provide the software, and you just have to load a virtual machine. So, you're going to incur some CPU RAM and storage for wherever this log collecting appliance is running, which typically is in our cloud and on our platform for the customer."
"AlienVault is certainly not nearly as expensive as Splunk or QRadar. It's decently priced, but I don't have the exact figure."
"They charge a license based on the storage. ATT AlienVault USM is a less expensive solution than IBM QRadar."
"Its price is much lower than McAfee ESM."
"It's saved security costs."
"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."
