It's not very attractive when compared to other solutions but the pricing is comfortable.
Log collection, and correlation engine usage. It has some limitations in parser modules. Comfort in pricing.  It's not very attractive in comparison to other solutions.  It needs to improve in AI and automatic parsing. One to three years.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support is extremely reliable."
"All of these features combined create a compelling "one-stop" package for a business that needs security monitoring and analytics."
"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 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 feature that I liked the most is that they have a vulnerability assessment package that comes along with the SIEM solution. So, whenever I find any threat or alert for any of the devices or servers, I could immediately initiate a vulnerability assessment scan on that machine. That is one of a kind. The price at which AlienVault operates is also valuable."
"AlienVault provides a checklist answer when using SIEM."
"The solution also provides basic log storage options for periods of 15, 30, and 90 days."
"Students becoming acclimated to the product can go out into the field and have first-hand knowledge on how to use a USM or SIEM product."
"Comfort in pricing."
 

Cons

"I think plugin management should be self-service on AlienVault USM. The other product is self-service but on the USM side. You have to submit a ticket then AT&T creates and updates the plugins."
"Technical Support: We received average support. As observed, the support engineers take a long time for issue resolution."
"There is room for improvement in Log parsing."
"We've had some stability problems, not a lot, but a few. Updates seem to be the worst. That seems to be when the stability problems come up."
"I would say the menus could use some tweaking and custom rule creation could be made simpler."
"The only complex area of the setup was writing the custom scripts."
"The log query capability is pretty restrictive and I find myself searching through raw logs via command line more often than the GUI."
"More information about what the alerts mean and how they are derived would be useful when determining their significance."
"It has some limitations in parser modules."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's affordable for most customers."
"It's very reasonably priced. It was one of the lowest among the ones I looked at. Licensing is pretty flexible. They can do a two-year or a three-year, even a one-year, perhaps."
"Pricing is very competitive with other products and you get much more functionality from AlienVault."
"Use an MSSP instead. It is much cheaper."
"It has good pricing."
"AlienVault is flexible on their pricing for unlimited licenses."
"It allows you to do a lot with a small price tag... The pricing is the best on the market."
"We checked out several competitors. For what it can do and the cost, it was the best option!"
