Automation simplifies workflows with no code and excellent support
Reporting and dashboards could be more advanced for deeper analysis. Tines has its own dashboard, which displays information like how many stories have been created and how many automations have taken place. However, the reporting and dashboard are not advanced; they are quite basic, with fewer customizable options. The look and feel of the dashboard could be enhanced. Another area for improvement is in terms of documentation, as every tool and company has its own knowledge base.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most valuable features is that it’s a low-code solution."
"The best advantage is the no-code automation, excellent customer support services, and ease of integration with other tools."
"The best thing is that it's no code, so it doesn't require coding knowledge."
"The tool was vendor-neutral."
"Using the communication within the security device, it is easier to create plugins."
"The best feature of this product is the ease of use. It is extremely easy to set up and get going. This is a very useful tool for a small organization."
"The solution also provides basic log storage options for periods of 15, 30, and 90 days."
"This solution can completely detect and prevent incidents on your network."
"The pricing is amazing and really cheap."
"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."
"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."
"The asset management of nodes has been a large help in terms of being able to track applications with more detail and have changes made being monitored into one source."
 

Cons

"Reporting and dashboards could be more advanced for deeper analysis."
"Tines was a little bit more expensive than Torq."
"They started implementing some AI, and their AI is isolated."
"Maybe Tines can add more features and demonstrations, like videos on how to use the features within the tool."
"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."
"I'd like to see a dashboard that's a little more descriptive."
"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 solution is a bit complicated. It could be simplified quite a bit."
"It should be able to communicate with other security solutions to stop threats."
"I want to see more compliance management capability. The quality of integrations seems to be a little bit low."
"We develop additional rules and scripts to make it more usable."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Pricing is very competitive with other products and you get much more functionality from AlienVault."
"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."
"Do the one month trial and try to work out the kinks during it, as it has free support and service hours."
"Negotiate the best package for your environment."
"Its price is much lower than McAfee ESM."
"The licensing fees are dependent on usage."
"It has good pricing."
"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."
