Sushil Raul - PeerSpot reviewer
Advanced vulnerability Management solution with out-of-the-box integrations
If customers are only looking for a patch management system, then I would definitely recommend SanerNow. But if you look at today's market, there are already many tools similar to SanerNow that give fragments of the overall functionality of an ITSM tool, and enterprise customers tend not to be interested in tools that only provide fragmented functionality. Instead, they need a tool that can give them complete IT service management, including service orchestration, assurance, and automation; that is, the entire gamut of modules in one solution. Vendors that can provide this include BMC, Micro Focus, and SolarWinds. These vendors cater to the overall requirements of the customer and not just a specific fragment, especially for those customers wishing to break down silos and unify their solutions. Thus, if you're looking for a more comprehensive solution that unifies ITSM and IT operations management as a whole, SanerNow needs to work towards a few additional modules which support observability.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our team uses the SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform for threat detection, focusing on features like vulnerabilities and asset exposure. The asset exposure feature is packaged with software licenses and machines. We get the latest updates and patches for Windows workstations and applications for remediation. We can automate these updates, which greatly improves our previous manual and scripting-based tools."
"Although it is, in fact, a complete vulnerability management solution, the most valuable feature is the patch management functionality. Most of our customers give preference to this tool over other tools when it comes to patch management."
"AlientVault has helped us in improving our visualization and incident response during cybersecurity situations."
"The most valuable feature is vulnerability management because it gives you insight into your environment to know what systems need to be updated or patched."
"AlienVault provides a checklist answer when using SIEM."
"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."
"AlienVault has an advanced component within one package. With this, we can cover more area with one solution."
"It has streamlined log aggregation and analysis to meet organizational and regulatory needs."
"As we have to service several servers, we can manage them in a economical way, which is beneficial to our team and business."
"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."
 

Cons

"SanerNow has good integration with the more well known ITSM tools, but at the same time there are many other ITSM (IT Service Management) tools available in the market, including local tools here in India, and I'm not sure how SanerNow plans to integrate with them all out of the box."
"SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform needs to incorporate more documentation."
"The reporting aspect could be improved. While there are a lot of different options available, there are still pieces which are missing."
"I'd like to see a dashboard that's a little more descriptive."
"Source material on the forums to be more up-to-date with the changes happening within the product. Forums being out-of-date with information due to the changes makes troubleshooting a little more difficult - specific to the HIDS agents."
"We develop additional rules and scripts to make it more usable."
"The reporting is mediocre and is something that needs to be improved."
"Windows log collection works with HIDS, but documentation is sparse and confusing."
"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."
"they seem to have bugs from time to time that go unfixed for a while and that is frustrating. I'm not saying the product needs to be bug-free, but they need to be responsive to bugs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable - we paid about 2.5 million for 3,500 nodes."
"As with several other solutions such as Microsoft MECM and SCCM, the licensing for SanerNow involves per-device pricing for each kind of product or service on offer."
"The price of this solution is reasonable, which is one of the reasons why we selected it over other solutions."
"​The vulnerability management solution is worse than buying a Nessus Professional license.​"
"The price for this solution is very good, but since the features do not work the price is expensive."
"The ROI is quite good."
"It's affordable for most customers."
"Do the one month trial and try to work out the kinks during it, as it has free support and service hours."
"It has good pricing."
"AlienVault is flexible on their pricing for unlimited licenses."
