Featured Reviews

Sukkanta Banerjee - PeerSpot reviewer
A way for users to manage their credentials on the go using a stable, and scalable app
I give the solution an eight out of ten. It's hard to comment on the number of users because the feature is completely for corporate employees who have Blackberry devices, so it's hard to track how many users there are. I advise making your decision to use the solution based on the usage in the company or the demand of the business, which you are running based on the demand.
Kris Nawani - PeerSpot reviewer

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The mail is without a doubt the most valuable."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"Allowed us to help our customers satisfy compliance needs around logging and monitoring."
"I can easily check (in one place) all the logs and data in relation to attacks. It also gives me an overview if a server is not configured properly."
"The new cloud-based panel is excellent both for client review as well as for our SOC to review and respond to threats. It is much easier to configure and use than the previous solution from AlienVault.​"
"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."
"Its powerful correlation engine helps reduce time in manually correlating events."
"The main menu: You can see everything there, what is happening on the servers, and in the logs, you can view more details of each event."
"The USM is a work horse, no matter what devices or the number of logs we throw at it, the system processes them in real time, correlates the events, and alerts on only events that need human review."
"The ease of implementation is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be improved. It was clunky at times."
"The solution can be improved by adding more features in which the content could be synced."
"This solution could be easier to use."
"I want to see more compliance management capability. The quality of integrations seems to be a little bit low."
"I feel that some areas of improvement would be vulnerability scanning. We use a separate product that seems to do a much better job."
"It would be hard for any legitimate MSSP to use it."
"The UI and overall processes need a little bit more love. This shows in the error banners that come up when you select certain things. There isn't a day that goes by that the UI doesn't error out and I can't view events for an alarm."
"The reporting module could be a little easier to handle, as it requires quite some trial and error until you get the reports you want. Also, it would be great to have a graphical interface for the Network Intrusion Detection System's rule management."
"The reporting is mediocre and is something that needs to be improved."
"The GUI needs to improve because it's not user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We had a licensing package of $500,000 for three years."
"I am not able to remember the amount, but users have to subscribe for a certain amount, so once they subscribe, the amount gets sent."
"The price of this solution is reasonable, which is one of the reasons why we selected it over other solutions."
"We ran a few PoCs. The price and feature set were the best with AlienVault."
"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."
"Pricing is very competitive with other products and you get much more functionality from AlienVault."
"Its price is much lower than McAfee ESM."
"It's affordable for most customers."
"Do the one month trial and try to work out the kinks during it, as it has free support and service hours."

The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of deployment that it provides to users. The integrations that the product has with third-party applications are useful.

There are scalability issues due to a 60 TB limit, which restricts its use for large customers like banks. It is also limited when used with bigger products and has complex password requirements.
