Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The other big selling feature for us was its integration capabilities with all the other security-based products."
"Asset discovery and vulnerability scanner are good features. The integration between this solution and OTX, which is an AlienVault platform for Open Threat Exchange, is also a valuable feature. It is also quick and easy to deploy, so you can quickly engage with a customer's environment."
"The most valuable feature is vulnerability management because it gives you insight into your environment to know what systems need to be updated or patched."
"The pricing for this solution with the 3 major components: SIEM, FIM, and vulnerability scanning, can’t be beat."
"Customer Service: The service was excellent and always showing excellent treatment and availability. Technical Support: The service is excellent the support requested really is quick and very efficient"
"AlienVault USM Anywhere is easy to deploy with their cloud-based model, and deploying the required agents on-prem (or in the cloud) is quick and easy."
"Customer Service: The customer service is excellent, we have quick and knowledgeable help on all our calls."
"It helps to monitor the entire office in in a single point."
"The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."
"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
 

Cons

"The configuration is somewhat complex and the interface a bit non-intuitive."
"It would be nice to see some machine learning and monitoring of the configuration in network devices."
"The reporting and dashboards have room for improvement."
"The one thing I continue to dislike about the USM is the limitation on reports."
"They should simplify the HIDS agent reporting/custom rule creation."
"The Log Management and configuration of email notifications should be user-friendly."
"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."
"The reporting could do with some improvements for example the vulnerability report only tells you what vulnerabilities are open and lists them but there is no indication of how old they are at a glance and what vulnerabilities have been closed since the previous scans."
"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"AlienVault is certainly not nearly as expensive as Splunk or QRadar. It's decently priced, but I don't have the exact figure."
"I don't think the product's pricing is a good value because they try to raise the price 50 percent every year... AlienVault needs to understand that not all customers are huge enterprises... Their sales team is way too aggressive. The price they advertise is not always the price you get."
"Do the one month trial and try to work out the kinks during it, as it has free support and service hours."
"We pay around $12,000 a year including storage."
"It is a product that is priced in a medium range, making it neither a cheap nor a costly product."
"We ran a few PoCs. The price and feature set were the best with AlienVault."
"Use the AlienVault team. They are helpful and the documentation that they provide is second to none."
"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
