Reliable with good independent modules and a straightforward setup
I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. Having used Trend Micro as well, I would rate Trend Micro higher. However, I would still choose this product as a second option. When we recommend a product, we would recommend something based on the fit of the product and customer requirements. We worked with Defender, we worked with Trend Micro, and we worked with McAfee. All of them almost overlap in multiple use cases. That said, we do see the customer IT strategy and where they're going, and they are adopting Azure more. We know there are certain limitations in their landscape where there may be some old legacy systems, and in that case, then we would either switch back to McAfee or Trend Micro instead of Defender.

An easy-to-deploy tool that needs to improve its vulnerability scanning feature
In my company, we use the solution in our security operation center to monitor the client environment and as a solution that provides us with continuous monitoring ability The benefits experienced by our company from the use of the solution stem from the fact that it has been working pretty well…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The independent modules are very good."
"It is a really strong solution for endpoint security."
"HIPS protects server files from being modified or deleted by unauthorized users. It's primarily deployed in the web tier."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity."
"If the network has seen something, we can use that to put a block to all the endpoints."
"The most valuable feature is the integration between environments."
"The most valuable feature is threat intelligence."
"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."
"AlientVault has helped us in improving our visualization and incident response during cybersecurity situations."
"Allowed us to help our customers satisfy compliance needs around logging and monitoring."
"AlienVault provides a checklist answer when using SIEM."
"The vulnerability manager and the file integration are very good."
"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 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."
 

Cons

"I would like to see simple processing and reporting online."
"The reports need more development. They need more details on the reports and more details taking the executive view into consideration."
"Upgrading to new versions isn't easy and it can take a long time. Also, other solutions' tamper protection features are better than FireEye's. Clients should have access to our local information, but they shouldn't change settings on the system itself."
"The initial setup can be a bit complicated for those unfamiliar with the product."
"I hope the solution can be used in cloud systems going forward."
"Looking at the current ePolicy orchestrator, and the transition of most vendors to the cloud, they need to do an improvement with the current dashboard or the overall aesthetic of their GUI."
"The customization capabilities of the solution are an area where it lacks, so it would be great if our company could customize the solution to meet the demands of our customers."
"The product is consolidating its portfolio into one product. It is difficult at the moment."
"We would like more plugins. This being the main point of improvement which would benefit the users."
"The reporting aspect could be improved. While there are a lot of different options available, there are still pieces which are missing."
"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."
"There are many reports included but would be nice to have better access to the data."
"The reporting and dashboards have room for improvement."
"Adding a parsing interface for the customers would make AT&T AlienVault USM better."
"It would be nice to see some machine learning and monitoring of the configuration in network devices."
"As this software is in the cloud, you do not have control on updates and general changes which are happening."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There's a subscription on a yearly basis. It's not that expensive; it's quite affordable."
"The price of the product is similar to the ones in the market that offer the same features."
"We had a discount when purchasing the solution because of the size of our company and we are happy with the price."
"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."
"We are on an annual subscription for McAfee MVISION Endpoint. The cost for the license could be less expensive."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"It is not so cheap in comparison to Sophos and other solutions."
"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."
"Its price is much lower than McAfee ESM."
"AlienVault is certainly not nearly as expensive as Splunk or QRadar. It's decently priced, but I don't have the exact figure."
"It has good pricing."
"It's saved security costs."
"It's affordable for most customers."
"​The price point is good.​"
"The licensing fees are dependent on usage."
