Protection improves through superior global visibility and robust cloud integration

CrowdStrike Observability is especially useful when using a multi-cloud environment. Although it is expensive, the protection level it provides justifies the price. For users on Google Cloud, I prefer using Google's GTI technology. Overall, I would rate CrowdStrike Observability as nine out of ten. I rate the overall solution as nine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The log aggregation and correlation of data are notable features that enhance our operations."

"I find the most effective feature of CrowdStrike Observability to be its cloud vision and attack surface vision, which enhance network traffic analysis."

"The price is worth it."

"The intelligence database provided by CrowdStrike is very impressive."

"The most valuable features of AT&T AlienVault USM are the ease of management and knowledge of what is on the network of my customers. It's easy to understand the problems, and management our alarms and events."

"It has streamlined log aggregation and analysis to meet organizational and regulatory needs."

"The asset discovery and inventory capabilities in USM Anywhere is quite good."

"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."

"This solution can identify many threats inside the organization (compromised endpoints, configuration issues), as well as "outside" threats (botnets, network scanners, web-attacks, etc)."

"Having everything in a central place has been helpful."

"This solution can completely detect and prevent incidents on your network."

"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

"For reporting or log management, having a longer duration for backup without needing to purchase a paid subscription would be beneficial. Currently, there is a default ninety-day backup period."

"Integration with Huawei should be more straightforward."

"For reporting or log management, having a longer duration for backup without needing to purchase a paid subscription would be beneficial."

"Integration with Huawei should be more straightforward."

"The customer service is not satisfactory for me. The support is only available in English, and my users in LATAM regions such as Peru and Colombia require local language support, which is not currently provided."

"The reporting is mediocre and is something that needs to be improved."

"There are many reports included but would be nice to have better access to the data."

"The only complex area of the setup was writing the custom scripts."

"In the future, I would like to see all these features of the solution working properly."

"Pay attention to false-positive event automatic correlations."

"The reporting tools are a bit lacking for building reports to give directly to customers, but support has been helpful in giving our requests for new features to the development team and following up with us."

"Its reporting tools need improvements. It would be good if they can provide integration with other ticketing systems. Currently, we only have integration with Slack and Jira. It is also a bit slow, and its replication engine can be improved."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Use the AlienVault team. They are helpful and the documentation that they provide is second to none."

"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."

"So far, it has been a good solution for a tight budget."

"They are a little more expensive than Microsoft."

"The licensing fees are dependent on usage."

"Do the one month trial and try to work out the kinks during it, as it has free support and service hours."

"I rate the price of AT&T AlienVault USM a four out of five."

"Use an MSSP instead. It is much cheaper."
