Though the solution offers good technical support, it needs to be made more user-friendly
I rate the initial setup a seven and a half out of ten. So, it's closer to seven. The tool is deployed in our organization on-premises with some test servers. In only two tests in a test environment, the deployment can be carried out. The deployment time only depends on the size of your infrastructure. If I limit the company's size, it will not take too much time. So, it can be done in seven to eight hours. Regarding the deployment process, we have managed some test servers, after which we need to install some agents. If you include more servers, you need to install more agents. If you want to use agent-based, I would say that it is totally up to the stakeholder. You will get some additional benefits if you can choose the agent since you will be more assured that less positive false positive results you will get from the tool. For deployment, one test server, a few deployment servers, and some policy configurations are done by the OEM with some local support. We used some Windows servers and Linux servers, and we installed some agents in different types of operating systems. So different versions of Linux and different versions of Windows. We also integrate some network devices like firewalls to integrate firewalls and logs. So, the amount of logs and firewalls is too much. I have to engage too many employees for deployment. So there are those for Linux servers, others for Windows servers, and the rest for network devices. One for SIEM policy creation and one for SIEM management administration is also required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The custom dashboard and correlation alerts in this solution improved our incident response process."
"The ease of log collection and stability of the platform are the most valuable features."
"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."
"RSA enVision provides the full system visibility of your events within your IT ecosystem."
"The most valuable feature is the management features. It's capable of managing large enterprises."
"The most valuable feature is the management features. It's capable of managing large enterprises."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the reporting."
"Beyond provided us with an IDS as was our initial need, but AlienVault gave us more useful resources, as SIEM, and as a vulnerability scanner (the last, one of my favourite resources)."
"AlienVault has streamlined our security functions by combining several different functions into one package."
"OTX is a great module that lets staff maintain and monitor updates regarding events in the infrastructure and takes decision to improve the security perimeter."
"The dashboards are very descriptive and contain just the right amount of information. The activity alarms and events contain a plethora of data that is very descriptive and useful."
"The asset management functionality (active and passive scans) is also really important. You can't protect what you do not know about, so having an inventory of all your devices and software is critical to a security management program."
"Being the only Security professional in an organisation of well over 1000 people AlienVault lets me keep a watchful eye whilst getting on with my day job."
"It allows for a lot of out-of-the-box features: vuln scanning, HIDS/HIPS, and IDS."
"The other big selling feature for us was its integration capabilities with all the other security-based products."
 

Cons

"Whenever you perform the query, it takes too long."
"In general, the solution currently isn't user-friendly."
"Sometimes the investigation panel and reporting engine work very slowly."
"The integration could be easier, it should support more products."
"The integration could be easier, it should support more products."
"Licensing could be improved to be more oriented towards Managed Service Providers (MSPs)."
"There is no future for this solution. It does not exist anymore."
"RSA enVision log manager is out of date and is not in use anymore."
"I'd like to see built in support to detect more security incidents."
"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."
"The vulnerability reporting needs to have options to be able to sort or customize the output."
"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."
"We would like more plugins. This being the main point of improvement which would benefit the users."
"For creating new rules, you have to be familiar with regular expressions. I feel there could be something built-in to make sure that process is easier."
"This solution could be easier to use. It is hard for some people to understand, and they need to get training and certification just to understand what it's showing them."
"The Log Management and configuration of email notifications should be user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We no longer pay a licensing fee because it is out of date and don't pay for support."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high price, I rate the pricing a six."
"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."
"AT&T AlienVault USM is an expensive solution and we pay for the license and the support separately. We paid for the license and support for three years."
"Negotiate the best package for your environment."
"We pay around $12,000 a year including storage."
"The price of this solution is reasonable, which is one of the reasons why we selected it over other solutions."
"The price for this solution is very good, but since the features do not work the price is expensive."
"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 affordable for most customers."
