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 custom dashboard and correlation alerts in this solution improved our incident response process."
"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."
"The configuration part is very easy...The technical support was sincere in their responses...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"RSA enVision provides the full system visibility of your events within your IT ecosystem."
"We developed around this solution and received excellent support from the company."
"Asset discovery and vulnerability scanner are good features. The integration between this solution and OTX, which is an AlienVault platform for Open Threat Exchange, is also a valuable feature. It is also quick and easy to deploy, so you can quickly engage with a customer's environment."
"Having everything in a central place has been helpful."
"The price of this solution is reasonable, which is one of the reasons why we selected it over other solutions."
"AlienVault is willing to offer flexible and competitive pricing."
"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."
"AlienVault USM Anywhere provides us with SIEM, at a low price-point and with a great array of functionality."
"The most useful feature is the customization for alarms, alerts, and reports."
"It has powerful threat detection, incident response, and compliance management."
 

Cons

"In general, the solution currently isn't user-friendly."
"RSA enVision log manager is out of date and is not in use anymore."
"There is no future for this solution. It does not exist anymore."
"Whenever you perform the query, it takes too long."
"Licensing could be improved to be more oriented towards Managed Service Providers (MSPs)."
"Sometimes the investigation panel and reporting engine work very slowly."
"The integration could be easier, it should support more products."
"I knocked off a point for the learning curve compared to some of the competition and another point for the lack of native user behavior analytics but for the money you really can't do any better."
"AlienVault cannot automatically respond to threats like other SIEM solutions, such as Sentinel and LogRhythm. Most of our clients are far away, so it's often challenging to handle alerts when they come up on our dashboard."
"More information about what the alerts mean and how they are derived would be useful when determining their significance."
"It would be nice to see some machine learning and monitoring of the configuration in network devices."
"Those tools could be improved because AlienVault is a SIEM, and it added all these other features."
"The way it identifies systems can use some improvement. It has a hard time differentiating between versions of Windows."
"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."
"The Log Management and configuration of email notifications should be user-friendly."
 

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."
"It's very reasonably priced. It was one of the lowest among the ones I looked at. Licensing is pretty flexible. They can do a two-year or a three-year, even a one-year, perhaps."
"​The vulnerability management solution is worse than buying a Nessus Professional license.​"
"Negotiate the best package for your environment."
"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."
"Pricing is very competitive with other products and you get much more functionality from AlienVault."
"The licensing fees are dependent on usage."
"Its price is much lower than McAfee ESM."
"It's affordable for most customers."
