Centralized observability has accelerated incident resolution and currently improves release monitoring
Overall, Edge Delta is a strong observability platform, but there are a few areas where it could be improved. One area is dashboard and reporting customization. The platform provides useful operational insights, but having more flexibility to create highly tailored views for different teams would be beneficial. Another area is onboarding and usability. Observability platforms can be complex, especially for new users, so additional guided workflows, recommendations, and learning resources could help teams become productive more quickly. Deeper integration visibility would be useful as well. Many organizations use multiple monitoring, logging, and incident management tools, so having even better cross-platform correlation and troubleshooting workflows would add value. On the pricing side, observability platforms can become expensive as data volume grows. More granular cost optimization insights and usage visibility would help organizations better understand how data consumption impacts cost and where optimizations can be made. The platform is strong in its core capabilities. The improvements I would prioritize would be deeper ecosystem integrations, enhanced cost visibility, and more intelligent automation to help teams act on observability data more efficiently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The biggest benefit has been the reduction in troubleshooting and incident investigation time, as root-cause analysis has become roughly thirty to forty percent faster, allowing engineers to spend less time searching through logs and more time resolving issues."
"As it includes a logger feature for gathering all logs from all devices (network devices, servers, hosts etc.) it has basically become the only software that we look at when we have a problem."
"AlienVault's "Overview" dashboard makes it very easy to see everything going on in your network that needs your immediate attention."
"The product has been very stable."
"Reports are customized, so you can present them to executives or engineers.​"
"All of these features combined create a compelling "one-stop" package for a business that needs security monitoring and analytics."
"Phishing sites were detected and it secured the environment from the upcoming threat."
"AlientVault has helped us in improving our visualization and incident response during cybersecurity situations."
"Having everything in a central place has been helpful."
 

Cons

"On the pricing side, observability platforms can become expensive as data volume grows."
"One of the problems we had with stability was a problem of our own."
"There are many reports included but would be nice to have better access to the data."
"Plugins: most plugins are not up to date with the newer versions of products."
"They should improve the reporting capabilities. Different functions to customize reports should be added."
"The log query capability is pretty restrictive and I find myself searching through raw logs via command line more often than the GUI."
"Plugins could be better utilized, as some of them do not recognize all logs."
"I think expanding their vendor-specific plugins would beneficial."
"I've been told that AlienVault doesn't have a full version of NES running in there, but I'm not sure if that's accurate or if my engineer made it that way. I'm not sure he was completely honest either because we had NES in the environment before. Those tools could be improved because AlienVault is a SIEM, and it added all these other features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Use the AlienVault team. They are helpful and the documentation that they provide is second to none."
"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."
"It's affordable for most customers."
"We checked out several competitors. For what it can do and the cost, it was the best option!"
"The price of this solution is reasonable, which is one of the reasons why we selected it over other solutions."
"We ran a few PoCs. The price and feature set were the best with AlienVault."
"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 is a product that is priced in a medium range, making it neither a cheap nor a costly product."
