Support both French and English, which is important for us and adapted to the evolving security landscape over time in my experience
You need a skilled engineer to deploy it because you can do anything with this tool. You can see everything on the network. A good engineer will be surprised and have fun using this tool because it's very powerful. Deployment process: You need to build a recipe/layout when you want to deploy something. Once the recipe is done, you just have to copy it. So you really need a good engineer at first, but then any other technician can copy the recipe. You don't need to be an expert once the recipe is finalized. So, once you have it set up, it's easy to deploy. But you need a good engineer to deploy it correctly. You will get alerts from the system, but if you want to fully explore and maximize the tool, the engineering needs are different.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ease of log collection and stability of the platform are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is the management features. It's capable of managing large enterprises."
"The custom dashboard and correlation alerts in this solution improved our incident response process."
"RSA enVision provides the full system visibility of your events within your IT ecosystem."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the reporting."
"The most valuable feature is the management features. It's capable of managing large enterprises."
"We developed around this solution and received excellent support from the company."
"The configuration part is very easy...The technical support was sincere in their responses...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"It has allowed us to see what is happening on our servers."
"The most valuable feature in AT&T AlienVault USM is the reporting."
"Log-monitoring and alerting enable us to know when things happen that we need to know about."
"AlienVault USM Anywhere is easy to deploy with their cloud-based model, and deploying the required agents on-prem (or in the cloud) is quick and easy."
"Customer service is excellent, very responsive, and they know their product."
"AlientVault has helped us in improving our visualization and incident response during cybersecurity situations."
"The other big selling feature for us was its integration capabilities with all the other security-based products."
"The vulnerability scanning is helpful to identify the areas that need patching or fixes installed."
 

Cons

"There is no future for this solution. It does not exist anymore."
"The integration could be easier, it should support more products."
"Whenever you perform the query, it takes too long."
"RSA enVision log manager is out of date and is not in use anymore."
"Sometimes the investigation panel and reporting engine work very slowly."
"In general, the solution currently isn't user-friendly."
"Licensing could be improved to be more oriented towards Managed Service Providers (MSPs)."
"The integration could be easier, it should support more products."
"Some customizations with the integration between AlienVault components have room for improvement and enabling users with WebUI interfaces instead of having to edit configuration files on the system to achieve certain actions would be a good 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."
"I think expanding their vendor-specific plugins would beneficial."
"Maybe logs are the problem, as the database query is too slow. If you want to search something, you need time to find it."
"The reporting could do with some improvements for example the vulnerability report only tells you what vulnerabilities are open and lists them but there is no indication of how old they are at a glance and what vulnerabilities have been closed since the previous scans."
"Sometimes the log is unclear, and the report is a bit ambiguous."
"The vulnerability reporting needs to have options to be able to sort or customize the output."
"There are many reports included but would be nice to have better access to the data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high price, I rate the pricing a six."
"We no longer pay a licensing fee because it is out of date and don't pay for support."
"Do the one month trial and try to work out the kinks during it, as it has free support and service hours."
"The licensing fees are dependent on usage."
"QRadar, ArcSight and Splunk are some of the most expensive SIEM products out there in the market and not everyone has the budget to buy them. In such cases, AV USM is a very cost effective alternative."
"They are a little more expensive than Microsoft."
"Negotiate the best package for your environment."
"It's affordable for most customers."
"The ROI is quite good."
"Use the AlienVault team. They are helpful and the documentation that they provide is second to none."
