More Google Cloud's operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) Pros →
"This solution can completely detect and prevent incidents on your network."
"Easy to use, scalable, stable, and very intuitive platform that provides protection against security threats."
"AlienVault has an advanced component within one package. With this, we can cover more area with one solution."
"Log-monitoring and alerting enable us to know when things happen that we need to know about."
"We had used previous products and found AlienVault centralized the logging for our security."
"It is my "security person" looking at irregularities and letting me know when something has occurred."
"The vulnerability manager and the file integration are very good."
"Vulnerability scanning helped out shortcomings of what was not patched in the past and what needed to be patched. This assisted with fine tuning the environment for compliance."
"Lacking sufficient operations documentation."
"The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."
"If I want to track any round-trip or breakdowns of my response times, I'm not able to get it. My request goes through various levels of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and comes back to my client machine. Suppose that my request has taken 10 seconds overall, so if I want to break it down, to see where the delay is happening within my architecture, I am not able to find that out using Stackdriver."
"This solution could be improved if it offered the ability to analyze charts, such as a solution like Kibana."
"It is difficult to estimate in advance how much something is going to cost."
"It could be more stable."
"The logging functionality could be better."
"While we are satisfied with the overall performance, in certain cases we must add additional metrics and additional tools like Grafana and Dynatrace."
More Google Cloud's operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) Cons →
"Search performance can be slow. The Raw Logs feature is painfully slow. And if we're talking about the newer, the Anywhere product, you can't even schedule reports on the thing. There are probably a dozen other features I'd really like to see there, but that would be one of the biggies."
"The lack of mature functionality and expertise in any of those areas is a strong negative."
"AT&T AlienVault USM can improve searchable data. It should be available for more than 90 days. If you need more than 90 days of data, you have to put a request and they give you raw data, which is not easy to search. A good addition would be to allow users to search data older than 90 days."
"It would be hard for any legitimate MSSP to use it."
"We develop additional rules and scripts to make it more usable."
"Different functions to customize reports should be added."
"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."
"It should be able to communicate with other security solutions to stop threats."
