Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
"The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."
"The most valuable features of AT&T AlienVault USM are the ease of management and knowledge of what is on the network of my customers. It's easy to understand the problems, and management our alarms and events."
"The IDS and the threat intelligence are very useful. They are very intuitive and data-rich."
"SIEM log collection is great, and all of the rules that support updates with maintenance."
"Using the communication within the security device, it is easier to create plugins."
"We have benefited greatly due to gaining the visibility we need for different instances."
"AlienVault gives us greater visibility into our security and tells us what we need to address."
"We are able to get alerts perfectly with FIM and VA features."
"On any given day I could give you a different answer regarding the most valuable features of the product. The feature that is most important is the fact that it has a lot of features, that it's not just a log collection and correlation system, that it has a lot of other components built in. The bundle of features is really the killer feature."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
"Technical support has been okay. It hasn't been great."
"In emergency cases, it is difficult to reach them."
"The reporting module could be a little easier to handle, as it requires quite some trial and error until you get the reports you want."
"The vulnerability management solution is worse than buying a Nessus Professional license."
"I'd like to see a dashboard that's a little more descriptive."
"Support can be slow at times, but the quality is high. Posted knowledge base articles could use improvement."
"The only room for improvement I can mention is the initial installation procedures. I found that the online installation instructions for the product were missing important details, they lacked necessary steps."
"The reporting module could be a little easier to handle, as it requires quite some trial and error until you get the reports you want. Also, it would be great to have a graphical interface for the Network Intrusion Detection System's rule management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
"So far, it has been a good solution for a tight budget."
"Its price is in the medium to upper range."
"We ran a few PoCs. The price and feature set were the best with AlienVault."
"I don't think the product's pricing is a good value because they try to raise the price 50 percent every year... AlienVault needs to understand that not all customers are huge enterprises... Their sales team is way too aggressive. The price they advertise is not always the price you get."
"It's saved security costs."
"It's affordable for most customers."
"The licensing fees are dependent on usage."
"I rate the price of AT&T AlienVault USM a four out of five."
