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."
"All of these features combined create a compelling "one-stop" package for a business that needs security monitoring and analytics."
"OTX is a great module that lets staff maintain and monitor updates regarding events in the infrastructure and takes decision to improve the security perimeter."
"The asset management of nodes has been a large help in terms of being able to track applications with more detail and have changes made being monitored into one source."
"The most valuable feature in AT&T AlienVault USM is the reporting."
"AlienVault gives us greater visibility into our security and tells us what we need to address."
"Log-monitoring and alerting enable us to know when things happen that we need to know about."
"The other big selling feature for us was its integration capabilities with all the other security-based products."
"The most useful feature is the customization for alarms, alerts, and reports."
 

Cons

"On the pricing side, observability platforms can become expensive as data volume grows."
"Maybe logs are the problem, as the database query is too slow. If you want to search something, you need time to find it."
"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."
"I want to see more compliance management capability. The quality of integrations seems to be a little bit low."
"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."
"Support can be slow at times, but the quality is high. Posted knowledge base articles could use improvement."
"Creating directives is a pain on its own, but editing them can be a nightmare filled with tedious unnecessary steps."
"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."
"There could be some type of integration with our existing portal."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is a product that is priced in a medium range, making it neither a cheap nor a costly product."
"The price of this solution is reasonable, which is one of the reasons why we selected it over other solutions."
"Its price is much lower than McAfee ESM."
"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."
"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."
"So far, it has been a good solution for a tight budget."
"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."
