Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."
"Having everything in a central place has been helpful."
"As we have to service several servers, we can manage them in a economical way, which is beneficial to our team and business."
"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 solution has all the features that we need, however they do not work correctly."
"Vulnerability scanning helped out shortcomings of what was not patched in the past and what needed to be patched. This assisted with fine tuning the environment for compliance."
"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."
"It is my "security person" looking at irregularities and letting me know when something has occurred."
"This is a USM, so being able to get all the features under one roof makes it a good product with good new features."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
"The reporting aspect could be improved. While there are a lot of different options available, there are still pieces which are missing."
"Support can be slow at times, but the quality is high. Posted knowledge base articles could use improvement."
"Their threat intelligence platform needs to be broadened. They should integrate it with more threat intelligence platforms. For the threat feed that they get from open intelligence, I would like them to add a few premium threat intelligence platforms. They can provide a bundle in which AlienVault has the threat intelligence background of other premium products."
"As this software is in the cloud, you do not have control on updates and general changes which are happening."
"I want to see more compliance management capability. The quality of integrations seems to be a little bit low."
"The solution already has quite good tools, however, they need better integration tools for linking with Office 365, Google Suite, and so on."
"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 lack of mature functionality and expertise in any of those areas is a strong negative."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
"Its price is in the medium to upper range."
"It is affordable, and it also has many features that the premium products such as ArcSight and QRadar have. It is a very good platform for a SIEM solution. Everything is included in the price."
"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."
"Do the one month trial and try to work out the kinks during it, as it has free support and service hours."
"They charge a license based on the storage. ATT AlienVault USM is a less expensive solution than IBM QRadar."
"Use the AlienVault team. They are helpful and the documentation that they provide is second to none."
"I rate the price of AT&T AlienVault USM a four out of five."
"The price of this solution is reasonable, which is one of the reasons why we selected it over other solutions."
