USM Anywhere Reviews

USM Anywhere is used for threat detection and investigation. It provides a solution with built-in threat intelligence and various other investigation tools.

The solution offers complete coverage without the need to install additional software, as it is maintained by the vendor. It helps in saving costs on staffing and other resources.

Our customers have three use cases, Log aggregation, correlation, and the SIEM functionalities.

Our customers are mostly in the finance and banking sectors. 

Log aggregation and alarms are the most useful for security for our customers. It collects logs from various log sources in the corporate network and then gives you actionable intel on the collected logs.

The second feature is SIEM capabilities. It's an umbrella set for what SIEM does.

The asset discovery and inventory capabilities in USM Anywhere is quite good because it helps to discover all assets and IP addresses on the corporate network.

USM Anywhere uses artificial intelligence to enhance threat detection.

I find that USM Anywhere is not overly complicated and things flow logically. The way it lays out the Microsoft alert and formats the text for you so you can actually read it is very workable.

What I find the most valuable about USM Anywhere is its compliance. It shows a list of all the administrators logged on and does it quite well. There are no whistles and bells, it's reliable and simple to use. Also, for the first time in eight years, I felt I could actually work with the raw data. I don't have to use search or log file manipulator engines because I can see the log file directly. It's readable and it's not cloudy like, for example, QRadar. 

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 in terms of getting the events correlated and getting the alarms on suspicious activities.

We primarily use AlienVault for managing logs, IDS, and correlation, but we haven't used the other tools, which was a huge disappointment to me. 

Our main focus was intrusion detection, alerts, and correlation. It's easy to use AlienVault and integrate it with other alert tools because it includes lots of connectors. Either the tool is already there, or AlienVault will write an API for us if they don't have a connector for the solution that is providing the logs.

We've seen a lot of improvement in the product over the years. Their threat monitoring was an important feature for us, but we didn't use the tool to its full advantage. I wanted to use the built-in NES and asset management tools, but unfortunately we didn't use those because we had other solutions to address those areas.

I used it in my previous company. My main use case was to identify the security events. Basically, it was a platform through which we used to monitor threat events for SOC operations.

We had its latest version. We used to keep updating it whenever there was a new release.

AlienVault was on-prem, and for cloud, we had Wazuh.

The feature that I liked the most is that they have a vulnerability assessment package that comes along with the SIEM solution. So, whenever I find any threat or alert for any of the devices or servers, I could immediately initiate a vulnerability assessment scan on that machine. That is one of a kind. The price at which AlienVault operates is also valuable.

The setup of AlienVault is extremely easy. It is very simple to understand for someone who is trying a SIEM solution for the first time.

The integration of servers and other devices is extremely easy. It is a piece of cake. You just double-click and start, and you are up and running. That's all.

We use AT&T AlienVault USM as a managed SOC service for our customers to detect and respond to security events and potential incidents.

AT&T AlienVault USM has improved detection of the potential threats and helped us to proactively take action against these threats. AT&T USM has enabled us to identify the weaknesses and has helped in strengthening the weaknesses.

AlienVault provides a central place for monitoring the logs from various security tools in our environment, such as CrowdStrike and Datrix. It gives us complete visibility into the logs from those tools and endpoints in our environment. We use AlienVault for managing logs and vulnerabilities with tools like CrowdStrike.

Having everything in a central place has been helpful.
