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."Log-monitoring and alerting enable us to know when things happen that we need to know about."
"AlienVault's reporting is good. I like that vulnerability assessment is part of the solution, and the UI is intuitive. Also, the overhead is low, which is to say we don't need a dedicated SOC team to manage and analyze things constantly. We're a small company that doesn't have those resources."
"AlientVault has helped us in improving our visualization and incident response during cybersecurity situations."
"Easy to use, scalable, stable, and very intuitive platform that provides protection against security threats."
"The solution has all the features that we need, however they do not work correctly."
"Ease of deployment across various environments."
"The solution is stable."
"The vulnerability scanning is helpful to identify the areas that need patching or fixes installed."
"One of the most valuable features of vRealize Log Insight is that it gives you a clear forecast about your existing machines, for example, how long your machines could be supported and how long the remaining capacity is to host your machines. This is one of the best options available within vRealize Log Insight. Another valuable feature of the solution is automation. My company deploys a lot of automation when required in a very, very short period, and in a very uniform manner, and even if the automation is being deployed for different processes and departments, it's pretty much the same across the environment, so vRealize Log Insight helps reduce a lot of ambiguities and helps my company manage operational efficiencies well."
"It allows us to gain a comprehensive overview of our infrastructure."
"vRealize Log Insight has been running without any issues."
"It is very scalable and can handle a large workload."
"It is a very useful tool if you have a VMware environment."
"It gives the customer a quick overview, so they don't have to dig. There's a clear dashboard with many sensors in a single space. He gets a helicopter view of his environment, but he can investigate further if there are serious issues. It's pretty user-friendly."
"The setup and installation are very easy."
"The events are notably more descriptive, aiding in security and event analysis. We've also integrated Sky Collector, providing valuable insights and solutions for troubleshooting."
"Different functions to customize reports should be added."
"It should be able to communicate with other security solutions to stop threats."
"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."
"It would be hard for any legitimate MSSP to use it."
"The reporting and dashboards have room for improvement."
"I feel that some areas of improvement would be vulnerability scanning. We use a separate product that seems to do a much better job."
"Windows log collection works with HIDS, but documentation is sparse and confusing."
"Adding a parsing interface for the customers would make AT&T AlienVault USM better."
"They should improve their web interface to make it more user-friendly."
"The tool is expensive."
"I would like to see more tutorials or at least an introduction video from the supplier, so you can become proficient and get the most out of the solution. You might not get the full benefit from a logging or reporting solution because you might not have a particular tool enabled. You could leave something out of your analysis because you aren't aware of it or you don't know how to set it up."
"The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring."
"Documentation is lacking, including some guide as to how to use the expressions. It is not clear how to look for a log, for example. Some examples in the documentation might be helpful. I think that VMware had good documentation, but it's no longer hosted. The documentation is not as easy to understand as it was before."
"It needs better integration with third-party analytics tools."
"Log retention should have more options for user control."
"The dashboard needs to be improved because this is what I need to monitor my infrastructure."
