Development from open sources is very valuable but a huge infrastructure is required

The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used. The search configuration is a bit different than other OEMs or SIEM solutions like ArcSight or QRadar that are easy to search because they operate similarly. The logic is there and the solution supplies a pretty good explanation. Basically, DNIF spelled out is the opposite of FIND. You have to find commands whenever you want to search something. For example, a highway gets you to your destination but there is an alternate way people don't yet know about. Gartner or Forrester haven't yet studied it. We were a bit nervous when we were trying to get familiar with the solution. We wondered if we could realize ROI because the commands and ways of pulling data were different to us. We raised a case with the support team and their professionals provided the needed support. The command line is user friendly once you understand it. If you need immediate use, then you might want to get assistance from someone who is well-versed in methods for using key patterns to find things. Lengthier files for threat hunting or analysis are needed. The correlation happens, but exporting a large number of files to abstract them is not possible. For example, I want to present raw data to management so I should be able to customize a date range in my query and download the files.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Has a great search capability."

"I like the MITRE table, a feature I saw for the first time in the same solution. There was one MITRE tactic table, which can be used to identify threats if you have all kinds of rules enabled or if you have rules for all the tactics in the MITRE table. There are 14 tables in MITRE, and those 14 tables consist of multiple columns, tactics, and techniques. It was one of the first SIEM tools I saw that had that particular MITRE table. On that basis, you can create new rules and identify existing ones. At any point, if an alert is triggered, it will try to match it to any of those MITRE tactics. I liked that creating a workbook on MITRE business was straightforward. I also like that you can search using SQL or DQL."

"The solution is quite stable and offers good performance. It also works on a virtual machine. We haven't found any issues with it so far. It's been reliable."

"The dashboard is helpful, and it creates visualizations to let staff review event data and identify patterns and anomalies."

"Great for scaling productivity for log monitoring purposes."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the number of EPS it can handle."

"The User Behavior Analytics is a built-in threat-hunting feature. It detects and reports on any kind of malware or ransomware that enters the network."

"The response time on queries is super-fast."

More DNIF HYPERCLOUD pros

"It has powerful threat detection, incident response, and compliance management."

"The vulnerability manager and the file integration are very good."

"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."

"The best feature of this product is the ease of use. It is extremely easy to set up and get going. This is a very useful tool for a small organization."

"Asset discovery and vulnerability scanner are good features. The integration between this solution and OTX, which is an AlienVault platform for Open Threat Exchange, is also a valuable feature. It is also quick and easy to deploy, so you can quickly engage with a customer's environment."

"The asset discovery and inventory capabilities in USM Anywhere is quite good."

"It has streamlined log aggregation and analysis to meet organizational and regulatory needs."

"The setup is very easy and straightforward."

More USM Anywhere pros

Cons

"The solution should be able to connect to endpoints, such as desktops and laptops... If this solution had a smart connector to these logs- Windows, Linux, or any other logs - without affecting the performance of the connector, that would be wonderful."

"The EBA could be improved."

"Dependency on the DNIF support team was frustrating."

"The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used."

"I think DNIF HYPERCLOUD can implement the ability to export more than 100,000. At the moment, we can't go beyond that. So many times, if you're checking for the firewall logs and working on something related to authentication or network-related traffic, while that log count is low, the account goes beyond that. You can't restrict the logs or the amount of data you can export. It's very important for my situation. It would be better if they could increase the capacity of exports. Although there are many more types of searching in DNIF HYPERCLOUD, people still struggle to query out what they want because not everyone is good at SQL or DQL. The easiest way to query out in DNIF is using the GUI-based interface. But in the GUI interface, you can use operator calls. It gets tricky when you want to search for a specific type of event. You don't know where it will be passed and whether it will be consistent. In the initial phase, it's tough for us to use DNIF. You cannot pass every event in a stable DNIF. When we used that particular tool, we used to get those logs, but sometimes many things are not getting passed. So, we used to export the sheet or export the data into Excel and weigh the required details. In the next release, I would like them to improve the export of the columns and make the application more user-friendly. I would also like a threat-hunting feature in the next release."

"The vendor is fairly new and it's not as big as some of the international competitors. It's not a mature product. If you ask them to move data, it might take a lot of time."

"I feel that DNIF needs to invest more in marketing, considering that it operates at a very competitive speed."

"There are currently some issues with machine learning plug-ins."

"It should be able to communicate with other security solutions to stop threats."

"Plugins could be better utilized, as some of them do not recognize all logs."

"Maybe logs are the problem, as the database query is too slow. If you want to search something, you need time to find it."

"This solution could be easier to use."

"We would like more plugins. This being the main point of improvement which would benefit the users."

"We've had some stability problems, not a lot, but a few. Updates seem to be the worst. That seems to be when the stability problems come up."

"AlienVault must improve their correlation feature. Some of the events do not match with the correlation rules and some of the correlation events are false-positive."

"I want to see more compliance management capability. The quality of integrations seems to be a little bit low."

More USM Anywhere cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution requires a huge infrastructure and that is costly."

"Price-wise, the product is quite economical. I rate the solution's price as three or four on a scale of one to ten, where one is considered to be a very economically priced tool."

"The pricing is based on the log size."

"We pay around $12,000 a year including storage."

"It has good pricing."

"It allows you to do a lot with a small price tag... The pricing is the best on the market."

"I don't think the product's pricing is a good value because they try to raise the price 50 percent every year... AlienVault needs to understand that not all customers are huge enterprises... Their sales team is way too aggressive. The price they advertise is not always the price you get."

"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 rate the price of AT&T AlienVault USM a four out of five."

"The ROI is quite good."

"QRadar, ArcSight and Splunk are some of the most expensive SIEM products out there in the market and not everyone has the budget to buy them. In such cases, AV USM is a very cost effective alternative."
