We can make more informed decisions on whether an action is malicious

The ease of use and dashboards are improving. We came in at a time when they were developing a new dashboard screen. Therefore, we have had some confusing times between the old and new dashboards. Knowing how the new one works, I have seen vast improvements with it. While the product is very good, there are still some areas for improvement. The initial triage area could be a bit simpler. They get into the weeds real fast; it gets very detailed very fast. I am still looking for an easier triage layer on top with the ability to dig deeper. They are improving on this because I have seen some improvements in the user interface that helps with this. Part of it was moving two different screens into one, merging the two together. It is very good, but it is very technically detailed and would be harder for an entry-level person to decipher. However, improvements are being made. It leverages indicators of behavior to help us remediate faster against attacks. Sometimes, I wish there was more detail on why they consider it malicious.

An easy-to-deploy tool that needs to improve its vulnerability scanning feature

To those who plan to use the solution, I would suggest that they go through the documentation and online training models available for free, as it can help you deploy the product quickly while also being helpful in areas where there is a need to understand correlation and monitoring. I rate the overall product a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is not overly complicated."

"The solution is efficient."

"For me, the technical support is good."

"The most valuable feature is the capability of the command used by the machine so that we see the kind of performance that is running."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"I haven't had any issues with the solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"What I like most about Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response is the support because the support is good. The solution is also easy to use, and it has a dashboard. Everything is good, and there's no problem with it."

"We didn't have the visibility that we now have. It has increased our visibility by a lot. So, we put a lot more time into really looking at our environment and what is happening throughout our different networks. It has increased our visibility by around fivefold."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pros

"It has allowed us to see what is happening on our servers."

"The other big selling feature for us was its integration capabilities with all the other security-based products."

"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."

"Log-monitoring and alerting enable us to know when things happen that we need to know about."

"The ease of implementation is the most valuable feature."

"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."

"Easy to use, scalable, stable, and very intuitive platform that provides protection against security threats."

"The solution is stable."

More USM Anywhere pros

Cons

"The deployment on individual endpoints is more geared toward larger organizations. It might prove to be a bit too complicated for a smaller organization. You need to know what you're doing when you're deploying the sensor."

"They need to improve their technical support services."

"The product's reporting isn't great."

"Its Microsoft PowerShell protections still need some compatibility improvements. We have run across just a few. It is compatible with 90% of what we have in our network, but there is that 10% that we are still struggling with as far as compatibility with the type of PowerShell scripts needed to run our day-to-day business."

"While the product is very good, there are still some areas for improvement. The initial triage area could be a bit simpler. They get into the weeds real fast; it gets very detailed very fast. I am still looking for an easier triage layer on top with the ability to dig deeper."

"Reporting could be a bit more granular so that we had the ability to check regions and countries. I just noticed that, for instance, if I look at our servers, it's either "contained" or it's "not contained". I don't have the option, for instance, to look at countries. It only allows me to look at users as one big group."

"The integration with Microsoft solutions and Microsoft capabilities needs to be improved."

"I feel that the product lacks reporting features and needs improvement."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response cons

"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."

"AlienVault cannot automatically respond to threats like other SIEM solutions, such as Sentinel and LogRhythm. Most of our clients are far away, so it's often challenging to handle alerts when they come up on our dashboard."

"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."

"I've been told that AlienVault doesn't have a full version of NES running in there, but I'm not sure if that's accurate or if my engineer made it that way. I'm not sure he was completely honest either because we had NES in the environment before. Those tools could be improved because AlienVault is a SIEM, and it added all these other features."

"There are scalability issues due to a 60 TB limit, which restricts its use for large customers like banks."

"I'd like to see a dashboard that's a little more descriptive."

"Windows log collection works with HIDS, but documentation is sparse and confusing."

More USM Anywhere cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of pricing, it's a good solution."

"In terms of cost, this is a good choice for our needs."

"The pricing is manageable."

"I do not have experience with the licensing of the product."

"I had to go through a third-party to purchase it, which I wasn't really pleased about."

"This product is somewhat expensive and should be cheaper."

"We considered a few other solutions. Some were ridiculously overpriced, while others didn't have solutions for Mac endpoints. That was a deal-breaker because most of our organization is on Mac. It came down to two vendors: Cybereason and another. They had similar pitches and almost identical approaches, but in the end, Cybereason gave us the best value for our money."

"Though it is not the cheapest solution but it fits our budget. We pay an annual licensing fee."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pricing and cost advice

"The vulnerability management solution is worse than buying a Nessus Professional license."

"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."

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

"The price of this solution is reasonable, which is one of the reasons why we selected it over other solutions."

"The price point is good."

"Use the AlienVault team. They are helpful and the documentation that they provide is second to none."

"Use an MSSP instead. It is much cheaper."

"They charge a license based on the storage. ATT AlienVault USM is a less expensive solution than IBM QRadar."
