Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AlienVault's "Overview" dashboard makes it very easy to see everything going on in your network that needs your immediate attention."
"The low cost of entry SIEM functionality has increased due to network views and network traffic."
"The all-in-one source for the needs of compliance has put everything into one location without the need of other applications and tools to accomplish the tasks."
"This is a USM, so being able to get all the features under one roof makes it a good product with good new features."
"Every activity on the firewall is recorded, and notifications are sent with this solution."
"Previous to this, we really didn't have any protection, any intrusion system in place, and it's made me more comfortable, since I'm in charge of IT for this company, because I sleep better at night."
"The UI is clean and easy to use."
"Using the communication within the security device, it is easier to create plugins."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its artificial intelligence."
"The main thing is the value proposition. It is one of the most sophisticated yet affordable solutions that I've come across. It is also one of the easiest-to-manage yet comprehensive solutions for a SOC analyst. Its customizations are really good, and it has a lot of integrations. It is multi-tenant and very fast to onboard. Its stability is 100%. We've never had an outage with it. It doesn't require extensive hardware resources. Its level of support is also very good. They have a very responsive technical team."
"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform provides a more straightforward implementation that is better than Splunk and offers an AI-based platform with machine learning and deep learning capabilities."
"The solution is stable."
"You can use different solutions in a single platform which is very easy and attractive for customers."
"The algorithm used in Seceon OTM is clear and logical, categorizing events as needed. This helps us identify and respond to threats effectively."
"It is effective because it has threat intelligence from across the world and constantly checks and updates for new threats."
"The most valuable features are behaviour analytics, threat intelligence, endpoint detection, and response features."
 

Cons

"Scaling, and it has no APIs! It would be hard for any legitimate MSSP to use it."
"Upgrading the network cards (from 1GB to 10GB) was not “supported” on the appliance, so we had to purchase a second one as a sensor."
"The next release will include cloud security and it will support a hybrid IT environment, furthermore the OTX has a great added value but it will help when there is more OTX information in the database."
"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 solution doesn't scale well if you are talking about enterprises using it."
"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."
"We would like more plugins. This being the main point of improvement which would benefit the users."
"One area that has room for improvement is storage. AllienVault is a good place to put logs, but sometimes it's a tough place to go get logs... The logger can only hold so much data. If they improved that, that would help."
"Certain features, such as DLP, need to be improved as they are superficial and not in-depth."
"It needs more compatibility for co-managed solutions."
"It would be better if they offered global coverage."
"The product should improve the triggering rate."
"We are at the client’s end, offering services. They don’t know about security rules and benchmarks. We are working on the discovery and remediation but we don’t really have the intelligence that was available while working with other tools. Human working is also very essential for the solution. The automatic session is impossible to play since it needs to touch Redfin for further analysis. No one has breached our clients."
"For small to medium-sized customers, Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is good. However, for large enterprises, it is not as effective."
"The product could be improved by including sandboxing capabilities in the next release."
"For future releases, integrating incident response tools and improving communication on incident reporting could be beneficial."
 

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."
"So far, I feel the product's pricing is a good value. The technology is decent. You get what you pay for. I think it's fair."
"It's affordable for most customers."
"The licensing fees are dependent on usage."
"It is a product that is priced in a medium range, making it neither a cheap nor a costly product."
"Use the AlienVault team. They are helpful and the documentation that they provide is second to none."
"We pay around $12,000 a year including storage."
"We ran a few PoCs. The price and feature set were the best with AlienVault."
"The solution is cheap and very competitive. It offers good tuning in terms of the pricing. Other solutions like Palo Alto and IBM are more expensive."
"It has a per-asset model instead of an ingestion-based model, which gives predictable pricing. In terms of price, it is in the middle to lower range of SIEMs that it competes against. It is the most affordable solution that we have implemented so far. It was much more affordable than anything else I've implemented."
"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is cost-effective because it's a comprehensive platform that offers high availability."
"The pricing is very competitive. It's not expensive."
"I find Seceon OTM's pricing to be reasonable, not too high or low, just okay for the market standards. I can't disclose specific figures, we pay on a quarterly basis under a service model. I would rate it eight out of ten. As a customer, I always hope for better pricing options."
"We used the solution's trial version for two months and later purchased it."
"The price is quite reasonable."
