We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"​I would rate the technical support very well as they are knowledgeable and quick to respond​."

More Quest InTrust Pros →

"Our main focus was intrusion detection, alerts, and correlation. It's easy to use AlienVault and integrate it with other alert tools because it includes lots of connectors. Either the tool is already there, or AlienVault will write an API for us if they don't have a connector for the solution that is providing the logs.""It brought our logs into one place for review and set up alarms based on changes we were missing due to lack of having one place for everything to go.""It has powerful threat detection, incident response, and compliance management.""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.""Reports are customized, so you can present them to executives or engineers.​""What I find the most valuable about USM Anywhere is its compliance. It shows a list of all the administrators logged on and does it quite well. There are no whistles and bells, it's reliable and simple to use.""The Event Correlation and vulnerability scans have been the most useful. As a 24/7 SOC, we use the incoming alarms to give an overview of suspicious traffic going through the network. It's easy to look at the correlated events and see the broad picture of traffic for that customer. Vulnerability scans are good for providing patch and remediation guidelines to keep customer systems secure.""We had used previous products and found AlienVault centralized the logging for our security."

Cons
"​It was very complex. There was poor native correlation. ​""​It needs to have better reporting. ​"

More Quest InTrust Cons →

"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.""Pay attention to false-positive event automatic correlations.""Windows log collection works with HIDS, but documentation is sparse and confusing.""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.""The solution is a bit complicated. It could be simplified quite a bit.""Adding a parsing interface for the customers would make AT&T AlienVault USM better.""It should be able to communicate with other security solutions to stop threats.""One area that has room for improvement is storage. AllienVault is a good place to put logs, but sometimes it's a tough place to go get logs... The logger can only hold so much data. If they improved that, that would help."

  • "Pricing is very competitive with other products and you get much more functionality from AlienVault."

  • "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!"
