Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of this solution is the alerting based on the security logs."
"The best thing about Kiwi Syslog is that it filters logs into different levels."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server is its performance and management. Additionally, the solution integrates well."
"We are very happy with the stability of the solution."
"Simplicity is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature in AT&T AlienVault USM is the reporting."
"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."
"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 new cloud-based panel is excellent both for client review as well as for our SOC to review and respond to threats. It is much easier to configure and use than the previous solution from AlienVault."
"This solution can identify many threats inside the organization (compromised endpoints, configuration issues), as well as "outside" threats (botnets, network scanners, web-attacks, etc)."
"The USM is a work horse, no matter what devices or the number of logs we throw at it, the system processes them in real time, correlates the events, and alerts on only events that need human review."
"Allowed us to help our customers satisfy compliance needs around logging and monitoring."
"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."
"Technical support could definitely be better."
"I would like to see better search functions and better filters in the next release."
"SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server could improve by reducing the price."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly and customizable dashboard."
"I would like to have email notifications for emergency logs."
"I want to see more compliance management capability. The quality of integrations seems to be a little bit low."
"The one thing I continue to dislike about the USM is the limitation on reports."
"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."
"I think plugin management should be self-service on AlienVault USM. The other product is self-service but on the USM side. You have to submit a ticket then AT&T creates and updates the plugins."
"We would like more plugins. This being the main point of improvement which would benefit the users."
"Different functions to customize reports should be added."
"The lack of mature functionality and expertise in any of those areas is a strong negative."
"There could be some type of integration with our existing portal. We have our own customer portals, and it would be good if there was an integration so that our portal can provide reports. There could be some type of API into the AlienVault system with the USM system so that it is easy to show the customers high-level reports of the system through our portal."
