Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The machine learning algorithms in Rapid7 InsightIDR for threat detection work quite effectively as part of the user entity behavior analytic model, allowing us to focus group normal typical behavior of users and then turn on the rule to spot any unexpected behavior."

"The ability to browse logs from multiple sources at the same time really speeds up root cause analysis."

"We can save logs as plain text."

"It has the ability to alert and track logs from different sources."

"The most valuable feature of Rapid7 InsightOps is the search functionality."

"Integration of InsightOps with other tools, especially SIEM solutions, has generally improved operational efficiency."

"The setup is very easy and straightforward."

"AT&T AlienVault USM is good for ELK Stack, the user experience is great because of its architecture. The ELK has a great performance and it has very good speed in the search and Kibana. Additionally, the visuals and dashboards and very nice and customizable."

"The solution is stable."

"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."

"Ease of deployment across various environments."

"Every activity on the firewall is recorded, and notifications are sent with this solution."

"It has allowed us to see what is happening on our servers."

"The pricing is amazing and really cheap."

Cons

"There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution."

"The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time."

"Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time."

"Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything."

"Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users."

"I've been using it just for my own personal upskilling in terms of how the product works. At the moment, it is pretty straightforward and simple, and it is working how it is supposed to. The feedback would come once it is deployed to customer sites. They'll be using it on a more frequent basis, and that's when the feedback would come in terms of the areas in which they're facing issues or are looking for simplicity."

"It would be nice to see some machine learning and monitoring of the configuration in network devices."

"I'd like to see a dashboard that's a little more descriptive."

"Plugins could be better utilized, as some of them do not recognize all logs."

"It would be hard for any legitimate MSSP to use it."

"The reporting tools are a bit lacking for building reports to give directly to customers, but support has been helpful in giving our requests for new features to the development team and following up with us."

"AT&T AlienVault USM can improve searchable data. It should be available for more than 90 days. If you need more than 90 days of data, you have to put a request and they give you raw data, which is not easy to search. A good addition would be to allow users to search data older than 90 days."

"Support can be slow at times, but the quality is high. Posted knowledge base articles could use improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is cheap."

"Do the one month trial and try to work out the kinks during it, as it has free support and service hours."

"We pay around $12,000 a year including storage."

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

"The pricing is a good value. The key thing is that for the new product, the licensing of it, is subscription-based and it's based on data. Clients need to be really careful when thinking about that, because odds are they're going to need to put a lot more data into it than what they initially estimate, which is going to drive their subscription costs up."

"The price for this solution is very good, but since the features do not work the price is expensive."

"I don't know exactly, but I know it is based on the number of logs and the retention duration, such as 30 days or something like that. So, the smallest package is about 500 a month for 30 days of logs. There is a virtual machine. You need resources for it. It is a log collecting VM. They provide the software, and you just have to load a virtual machine. So, you're going to incur some CPU RAM and storage for wherever this log collecting appliance is running, which typically is in our cloud and on our platform for the customer."

"It's saved security costs."

"We ran a few PoCs. The price and feature set were the best with AlienVault."
