Featured Reviews

Chetankumar Savalagimath - PeerSpot reviewer
Informative dashboards and integrates well with other products, but it needs artificial intelligence for more advanced threat detection
The product can be developed by bringing in AI and ML-based logic to learn from external emerging threats. This would help to keep the feeds real-time and secure the client's environment. Furthermore, it should use automation to notify customers or remediate the environment. The analytics and big data platform integration can be improved to provide better visibility of past data to look for existing threats or missed threats. It will be better able to predict future threats and be resilient against new threats, risks, or attacks. A cloud-based solution can be bought in to look for wider issues in external users or technologies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"All of the feeds can be enriched by using the predefined content pack, which can be deployed and used by SOC operations, threat hunting teams, and engineering teams."
"Using the communication within the security device, it is easier to create plugins."
"Reports are customized, so you can present them to executives or engineers.​"
"AlienVault's reporting is good. I like that vulnerability assessment is part of the solution, and the UI is intuitive. Also, the overhead is low, which is to say we don't need a dedicated SOC team to manage and analyze things constantly. We're a small company that doesn't have those resources."
"This solution can completely detect and prevent incidents on your network."
"The AlienVault solution has enabled us to create a SOC on a budget with smaller than usual staff requirements, offering a wider range of solutions for our customers."
"This solution can identify many threats inside the organization (compromised endpoints, configuration issues), as well as "outside" threats (botnets, network scanners, web-attacks, etc)."
"The most valuable feature is threat intelligence."
"There are multiple tools for information security. The solution includes all the latest advances on the network and host intrusion detection systems."

Cons

"The analytics and big data platform integration can be improved to provide better visibility of past data to look for existing threats or missed threats."
"There is room for improvement in Log parsing."
"This solution could be easier to use."
"The dashboard could be improved as well as the level of customization."
"There are scalability issues due to a 60 TB limit, which restricts its use for large customers like banks."
"It would be hard for any legitimate MSSP to use it."
"I feel that some areas of improvement would be vulnerability scanning. We use a separate product that seems to do a much better job."
"There could be some type of integration with our existing portal. We have our own customer portals, and it would be good if there was an integration so that our portal can provide reports. There could be some type of API into the AlienVault system with the USM system so that it is easy to show the customers high-level reports of the system through our portal."
"AlienVault cannot automatically respond to threats like other SIEM solutions, such as Sentinel and LogRhythm. Most of our clients are far away, so it's often challenging to handle alerts when they come up on our dashboard."
More USM Anywhere cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is affordable and it also depends on the usage of the toolset."
"AT&T AlienVault USM is an expensive solution and we pay for the license and the support separately. We paid for the license and support for three years."
"Use the AlienVault team. They are helpful and the documentation that they provide is second to none."
"It has good pricing."
"It's saved security costs."
"They charge a license based on the storage. ATT AlienVault USM is a less expensive solution than IBM QRadar."
"We checked out several competitors. For what it can do and the cost, it was the best option!"
"It's affordable for most customers."
"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."
