Great for PCI compliance but issues with stability and large amounts of data
I mainly use this solution to meet PCI compliance The automation of compliance reports and the correlation of the log have been major improvements.  The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance. The correlation suite needs to be improved. I also think they need to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"File integrity monitoring is a very important function."
"The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance."
"The FIM features in the Change Tracker and the Log Tracker are the most valuable."
"This is a very easy-to-use interface with a quick ramp-up time."
"I can easily check (in one place) all the logs and data in relation to attacks. It also gives me an overview if a server is not configured properly."
"The other big selling feature for us was its integration capabilities with all the other security-based products."
"We're using it more for reporting, that's all. We're using it to help our customers to pass any kind of audits that they receive."
"Log-monitoring and alerting enable us to know when things happen that we need to know about."
"Using the communication within the security device, it is easier to create plugins."
"There are multiple tools for information security. The solution includes all the latest advances on the network and host intrusion detection systems."
"The dashboards are very descriptive and contain just the right amount of information. The activity alarms and events contain a plethora of data that is very descriptive and useful."
"Any unusual behaviour, we can monitor. We have alerts set up to be sent when we receive signs of any unusual behaviour."
 

Cons

"It is able to identify the vulnerability, however, they need an option to auto-mitigate."
"Only one minor deployment issue came up and it was resolved quickly. No other areas of improvement come to mind yet."
"I would like to see the integration of AI technology, so rather than manually monitoring the logs, the tool will understand it and take care of it."
"The correlation suite needs to be improved."
"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."
"USM Anywhere relies a lot on the community putting the data in. Often, you'll right-click on the attack, but nothing will be found. That's a weakness of it."
"Plugins could be better utilized, as some of them do not recognize all logs."
"The reporting aspect could be improved. While there are a lot of different options available, there are still pieces which are missing."
"Sometimes the log is unclear, and the report is a bit ambiguous."
"I've been told that AlienVault doesn't have a full version of NES running in there, but I'm not sure if that's accurate or if my engineer made it that way. I'm not sure he was completely honest either because we had NES in the environment before. Those tools could be improved because AlienVault is a SIEM, and it added all these other features."
"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."
"AlienVault needs to continue to integrate with other third-party technologies that clients want to have monitored."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"NNT's pricing is moderate - I would rate their pricing two-and-a-half out of ten."
"We have selected a perpetual license along with support."
"Consider both their on-premises solution and their hosted solution. Both are reasonably priced."
"It's saved security costs."
"AlienVault is flexible on their pricing for unlimited licenses."
"We pay around $12,000 a year including storage."
"Negotiate the best package for your environment."
"Its price is in the medium to upper range."
"Do the one month trial and try to work out the kinks during it, as it has free support and service hours."
"We checked out several competitors. For what it can do and the cost, it was the best option!"
"Use an MSSP instead. It is much cheaper."

What do you like most about AT&T AlienVault USM?
The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of deployment that it provides to users. The integrations that the product has with third-party applications are useful.
What needs improvement with AT&T AlienVault USM?
There are scalability issues due to a 60 TB limit, which restricts its use for large customers like banks. It is also limited when used with bigger products and has complex password requirements.
