The price is really variable depending on what tier the customer is subscribing to. I think USM Anywhere recently started a 125, a 250, and then 500 and 1000 tier. So it depends on the organization, but it's affordable for most customers.
When compared to other solutions such as Splunk, LogRhythm, and IBM Security QRadar, AT&T AlienVault USM is a reasonably priced option that is also relatively inexpensive.
You might have to pay an additional fee to increase the number of sensors. We have five sensors, but other clients have three. I think you need to pay more to extend to four or five.
I don't recall exactly what their prices are, but they are a little more expensive than Microsoft. It really depends on what features in Microsoft you may already be using. If, for example, you're a company that has Microsoft's Defender for Endpoint and Defender for Identity, or basically any of their Defender Suite applications, you might already be paying a certain amount every month or every year for those features that the Microsoft Sentinel solution brings under one umbrella. AlienVault also has additional fees for extra storage in the cloud.
AT&T AlienVault USM is an expensive solution and we pay for the license and the support separately. We paid for the license and support for three years.

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 know exactly, but I know it is based on the number of logs and the retention duration, such as 30 days or something like that. So, the smallest package is about 500 a month for 30 days of logs. There is a virtual machine. You need resources for it. It is a log collecting VM. They provide the software, and you just have to load a virtual machine. So, you're going to incur some CPU RAM and storage for wherever this log collecting appliance is running, which typically is in our cloud and on our platform for the customer.
In comparison to the competition, it's a very inexpensive option, whether you use the cloud or the on-premises deployment models. You also get great value for money as you do get a lot of very good tools that come standard with the solution as well.

Our take on it is that we are paying more for this product because of the AT&T name. We don't necessarily find that we are getting more functionality or quality, given the price point. The licensing fees are dependent on usage.
Cost is very competitive and if your log ingestion is not huge, then you can get a SIEM for a small budget; AlienVault listen well to customers and work with you on the needs of your business.

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.

The pricing is a good value and makes sense. The key thing is that for the new product, the licensing of it is subscription-based and it's based on data. Clients need to be really careful when thinking about that, because odds are they're going to need to put a lot more data into it than what they initially estimate, which is going to drive their subscription costs up. I do have concerns that if a payment is delayed or if there is any dispute about billing, that all of our data is held in the cloud and could be lost.

I don't think the product's pricing is a good value because they try to raise the price 50 percent every year. If they do that again I won't be a customer, going forward. Their sales team is way too aggressive. The price they advertise is not always the price you get. In terms of licensing, AlienVault needs to understand that not all customers are huge enterprises. They don't seem to understand that.

The pricing is amazing and really cheap.

It is a product that is priced in a medium range, making it neither a cheap nor a costly product.
The solution is not expensive at all. When it comes to costliness, I would rate it a two out of ten.

I rate the price of AT&T AlienVault USM a four out of five.
AlienVault is certainly not nearly as expensive as Splunk or QRadar. It's decently priced, but I don't have the exact figure.
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.
They charge a license based on the storage. ATT AlienVault USM is a less expensive solution than IBM QRadar.
Its price is in the medium to upper range.

The price for this solution is very good, but since the features do not work the price is expensive.
Its price is much lower than McAfee ESM.
The price of this solution is reasonable, which is one of the reasons why we selected it over other solutions.
It's competitive with other similar solutions; however, I don't do the billing so I can't properly comment on it.
In comparison to the competition, it's a very inexpensive option, whether you use the cloud or the on-premises deployment models. You also get great value for money as you do get a lot of very good tools that come standard with the solution as well.
The solution has a subscription-based annual payment option. It's not a perpetual license.

I'd push them for pricing. I sense the best time to negotiate with them is in June as the fiscal year ends.
I advise others on the pricing and licensing. I research to find the best pricing for the value of the products as well as register all licensing.
The pricing is the best on the market.
It is I think for the market very straightforward, super easy to deploy. Licensing is straightforward in comparison to others.
It is easy to deploy and install an entire solution. I don't have an idea about pricing.

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.
As stated before, I believe this is the best SIEM solution for its value, especially for SMB.

So far, it has been a good solution for a tight budget.

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.
The vulnerability management solution is worse than buying a Nessus Professional license.
Use an MSSP instead. It is much cheaper.
