We can make more informed decisions on whether an action is malicious

The ease of use and dashboards are improving. We came in at a time when they were developing a new dashboard screen. Therefore, we have had some confusing times between the old and new dashboards. Knowing how the new one works, I have seen vast improvements with it. While the product is very good, there are still some areas for improvement. The initial triage area could be a bit simpler. They get into the weeds real fast; it gets very detailed very fast. I am still looking for an easier triage layer on top with the ability to dig deeper. They are improving on this because I have seen some improvements in the user interface that helps with this. Part of it was moving two different screens into one, merging the two together. It is very good, but it is very technically detailed and would be harder for an entry-level person to decipher. However, improvements are being made. It leverages indicators of behavior to help us remediate faster against attacks. Sometimes, I wish there was more detail on why they consider it malicious.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We didn't have the visibility that we now have. It has increased our visibility by a lot. So, we put a lot more time into really looking at our environment and what is happening throughout our different networks. It has increased our visibility by around fivefold."

"They do a very good job of providing multi-stage visualizations of malicious operations that immediately show all attack details across all devices and users. Since it is MalOp-centric model, you can see if there has been a similar operation across multiple machines. If it is the same thing appearing on multiple machines, you see all the machines and users affected in one screen."

"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."

"Cybereason absolutely enables us to mitigate and isolate on the fly. Our managed detection response telemetry has dropped dramatically since we began using it. It's very top-of-mind. We were running some tabletop exercises and none of the detections were getting triggered by the managed security services provider. So we needed to find a solution that would trigger high-fidelity alerts. That was Cybereason and it dramatically changed our landscape from the detection and response perspective."

"For me, the technical support is good."

"The most valuable feature is the capability of the command used by the machine so that we see the kind of performance that is running."

"I haven't had any issues with the solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"What I like most about Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response is the support because the support is good. The solution is also easy to use, and it has a dashboard. Everything is good, and there's no problem with it."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pros

"Ease of deployment across various environments."

"Our main focus was intrusion detection, alerts, and correlation. It's easy to use AlienVault and integrate it with other alert tools because it includes lots of connectors. Either the tool is already there, or AlienVault will write an API for us if they don't have a connector for the solution that is providing the logs."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is security management for PCI DSS."

"The feature that I liked the most is that they have a vulnerability assessment package that comes along with the SIEM solution. So, whenever I find any threat or alert for any of the devices or servers, I could immediately initiate a vulnerability assessment scan on that machine. That is one of a kind. The price at which AlienVault operates is also valuable."

"It allows for a lot of out-of-the-box features: vuln scanning, HIDS/HIPS, and IDS."

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

"The most valuable feature is threat intelligence."

"Easy to use, scalable, stable, and very intuitive platform that provides protection against security threats."

More USM Anywhere pros

Cons

"The network coverage becomes an issue most of the time."

"It initially took some time to deploy."

"The deployment on individual endpoints is more geared toward larger organizations. It might prove to be a bit too complicated for a smaller organization. You need to know what you're doing when you're deploying the sensor."

"There is room for improvement in the product features related to device control, particularly USB management."

"It should be more stable, and the sensor needs improvement in terms of connectivity."

"There can be problems with the EDI."

"They need to improve their technical support services."

"Its Microsoft PowerShell protections still need some compatibility improvements. We have run across just a few. It is compatible with 90% of what we have in our network, but there is that 10% that we are still struggling with as far as compatibility with the type of PowerShell scripts needed to run our day-to-day business."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response cons

"Adding a parsing interface for the customers would make AT&T AlienVault USM better."

"We would like more plugins. This being the main point of improvement which would benefit the users."

"There are scalability issues due to a 60 TB limit, which restricts its use for large customers like banks."

"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."

"Source material on the forums to be more up-to-date with the changes happening within the product. Forums being out-of-date with information due to the changes makes troubleshooting a little more difficult - specific to the HIDS agents."

"Plugins could be better utilized, as some of them do not recognize all logs."

"We develop additional rules and scripts to make it more usable."

"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."

More USM Anywhere cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is manageable."

"This product is somewhat expensive and should be cheaper."

"We considered a few other solutions. Some were ridiculously overpriced, while others didn't have solutions for Mac endpoints. That was a deal-breaker because most of our organization is on Mac. It came down to two vendors: Cybereason and another. They had similar pitches and almost identical approaches, but in the end, Cybereason gave us the best value for our money."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."

"I do not have experience with the licensing of the product."

"I had to go through a third-party to purchase it, which I wasn't really pleased about."

"In terms of pricing, it's a good solution."

"Though it is not the cheapest solution but it fits our budget. We pay an annual licensing fee."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pricing and cost advice

"AlienVault is flexible on their pricing for unlimited licenses."

"They charge a license based on the storage. ATT AlienVault USM is a less expensive solution than IBM QRadar."

"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."

"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."

"It's very reasonably priced. It was one of the lowest among the ones I looked at. Licensing is pretty flexible. They can do a two-year or a three-year, even a one-year, perhaps."

"The price for this solution is very good, but since the features do not work the price is expensive."

"It allows you to do a lot with a small price tag... The pricing is the best on the market."

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