Head: Cloud Platform Security at BCX Namibia
Along with good reporting capabilities, the product offers ease of deployment and great scalability options
I rate the product's initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy. Everything is pre-provisioned in the solution, so not much effort is required to complete the initial setup phase. The solution is deployed on the public cloud. The deployment process of Quantum Smart-1 Cloud takes around five to ten minutes. For deployment, there is a need to create an account in Check Point Infinity Portal, after which you can activate Quantum Smart-1 Cloud module and start with the provisioning process, which is something that gets done automatically in a while.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Pricing was a very important consideration and lower than the other SIEM solutions evaluated."
"Customer support is excellent."
"We used, tested, and tried several solutions prior to this solution; this solution answered too many questions under one reasonable cost, as opposed to piecemealing everything together for more money."
"We evaluated every single SIEM on the market, and the major difference that made AlienVault stand out is the unification, meaning the integration of technologies out-of-the-box, as opposed to having to do it on your own."
"The asset management functionality (active and passive scans) is also really important. You can't protect what you do not know about, so having an inventory of all your devices and software is critical to a security management program."
"All of these features combined create a compelling "one-stop" package for a business that needs security monitoring and analytics."
"It provides a single pane of glass view, coupled with a whole security ecosystem. The ability to manage everything from a central point, including vulnerability assessments, asset management - including the services provided by the various hosts, NIDS, HIDS, etc. - provides a very efficient way of dealing with things."
"It has tremendous benefits, and it brings everything into one single pane that includes your vulnerability management, asset management, IDS, logs, and correlation."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the reporting and the traffic view that the product provides its users."
 

Cons

"I feel that some areas of improvement would be vulnerability scanning. We use a separate product that seems to do a much better job."
"The support could absolutely be better."
"Product stability: The biggest issue we have seen with the product is its poor stability. Every version upgrade is a nightmare."
"I don't think the product's pricing is a good value because they try to raise the price 50 percent every year."
"IPv6 not supported Correlate with external logs from other sources makes little bit difficult to work"
"As this software is in the cloud, you do not have control on updates and general changes which are happening."
"It was easy on PoC, but when we got to the product it was different story. We had to learn the product again and got feeling that the PoC was a different product."
"Windows log collection works with HIDS, but documentation is sparse and confusing."
"VPN configuration can get clunky sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"So far, it has been a good solution for a tight budget."
"Use the AlienVault team. They are helpful and the documentation that they provide is second to none."
"Use an MSSP instead. It is much cheaper."
"​The price point is good.​"
"It's saved security costs."
"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."
"We ran a few PoCs. The price and feature set were the best with AlienVault."
"Negotiate the best package for your environment."
"Compared to the on-premises solution, I rate Quantum Smart-1 Cloud's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
