Automating intelligence workflows significantly reduces false positives and enhances response efficiency

ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) offers valuable workflows that integrate with our SOAR platform. It performs dedicated threat scoring capabilities which enrich internal indicators and automate response actions. This has been a key feature in our environment, which we have utilized for picking IOCs. The platform can be domain-specific and customer-specific, allowing data isolation for each customer. The scoring capabilities of ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) deserve a rating of nine out of ten. Its scalability and threat scoring capabilities have reduced false positives in our detection, as we dynamically change the IOCs which are updated daily through scheduled polling time over QRadar and SOAR.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ThreatConnect has a highly user-friendly interface."

"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) has positively impacted my organization by reducing our MTTD through enriching alerts and providing contextual threat intelligence in real-time, cutting down our triage time for high-priority incidents."

"We have been able to see a return on investment as our clients believe in us more."

"The Playbook feature is a game-changer for us, as the integration is available with the SOAR."

"The product automatically generated a threat score based on the maliciousness of an IP."

"The most valuable features are ease of use and the ability to customize it."

More ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) pros

"The most valuable feature in AT&T AlienVault USM is the reporting."

"The solution has all the features that we need, however they do not work correctly."

"We are able to get alerts perfectly with FIM and VA features."

"The best thing about AlienVault USM is it being a “Jack-of-All Trades” solution. It provides SIEM, HIDS/NIDS, FIM, NetFlow, Asset Management, Vulnerability Management, etc., under one USM platform. None of the commercial SIEM vendors like ArcSight, McAfee, etc., can boast of such a diverse feature set."

"The vulnerability manager and the file integration are very good."

"The ease of implementation is the most valuable feature."

"On any given day I could give you a different answer regarding the most valuable features of the product. The feature that is most important is the fact that it has a lot of features, that it's not just a log collection and correlation system, that it has a lot of other components built in. The bundle of features is really the killer feature."

"This is a USM, so being able to get all the features under one roof makes it a good product with good new features."

Cons

"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) could be improved by addressing challenges such as the customization over the tagging mechanism, where filtering based on individual tags is not available, limiting data export."

"Sometimes, when using the solution, it slows down, affecting our ability to mitigate threats."

"They should make it a little bit easier to generate events and share them with the community"

"Support is an area with which nobody is ever fully satisfied, so it can be improved."

"I couldn’t get any training videos online when I was working with the tool."

"Integration is an area that could use some improvement."

More ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) cons

"The other thing is the agent is OSSEC. They needed to create its own agent to help to find threats on the devices that it happens to be installed."

"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."

"I've been told that AlienVault doesn't have a full version of NES running in there, but I'm not sure if that's accurate or if my engineer made it that way. I'm not sure he was completely honest either because we had NES in the environment before. Those tools could be improved because AlienVault is a SIEM, and it added all these other features."

"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."

"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 dashboard could be improved as well as the level of customization."

"USM Anywhere relies a lot on the community putting the data in. Often, you'll right-click on the attack, but nothing will be found. That's a weakness of it."

"The price of AT&T AlienVault USM could be reduced."

More USM Anywhere cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product price as six on a scale of one to ten, where one is extremely expensive, and ten means it is cheap."

"The price could be better."

"The price of this product is in the mid-range, not too expensive, nor inexpensive."

"The tool is expensive."

"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."

"It is affordable, and it also has many features that the premium products such as ArcSight and QRadar have. It is a very good platform for a SIEM solution. Everything is included in the price."

"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."

"AlienVault is certainly not nearly as expensive as Splunk or QRadar. It's decently priced, but I don't have the exact figure."

"They charge a license based on the storage. ATT AlienVault USM is a less expensive solution than IBM QRadar."

"The price of this solution is reasonable, which is one of the reasons why we selected it over other solutions."

"It's saved security costs."

"It's affordable for most customers."
