Sukkanta Banerjee - PeerSpot reviewer
A way for users to manage their credentials on the go using a stable, and scalable app
I give the solution an eight out of ten. It's hard to comment on the number of users because the feature is completely for corporate employees who have Blackberry devices, so it's hard to track how many users there are. I advise making your decision to use the solution based on the usage in the company or the demand of the business, which you are running based on the demand.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is very easy to set up."
"The mail is without a doubt the most valuable."
"Using the communication within the security device, it is easier to create plugins."
"The most valuable feature is threat intelligence."
"There are multiple tools for information security. The solution includes all the latest advances on the network and host intrusion detection systems."
"SIEM log collection is great, and all of the rules that support updates with maintenance."
"AlienVault provides a checklist answer when using SIEM."
"The most valuable feature is vulnerability management because it gives you insight into your environment to know what systems need to be updated or patched."
"Log-monitoring and alerting enable us to know when things happen that we need to know about."
"Reports are customized, so you can present them to executives or engineers.​"
 

Cons

"The user interface could be improved. It was clunky at times."
"The solution can be improved by adding more features in which the content could be synced."
"Sometimes the log is unclear, and the report is a bit ambiguous."
"The other thing is the agent is OSSEC. They needed to create its own agent to help to find threats on the devices that it happens to be installed."
"We would like more plugins. This being the main point of improvement which would benefit the users."
"The lack of mature functionality and expertise in any of those areas is a strong negative."
"It would be hard for any legitimate MSSP to use it."
"The GUI needs to improve because it's not user-friendly."
"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."
"Adding a parsing interface for the customers would make AT&T AlienVault USM better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We had a licensing package of $500,000 for three years."
"I am not able to remember the amount, but users have to subscribe for a certain amount, so once they subscribe, the amount gets sent."
"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."
"We pay around $12,000 a year including storage."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"AT&T AlienVault USM is an expensive solution and we pay for the license and the support separately. We paid for the license and support for three years."
"The price for this solution is very good, but since the features do not work the price is expensive."
"Use the AlienVault team. They are helpful and the documentation that they provide is second to none."
