Subhash Sreenivasan - PeerSpot reviewer
Roughly 800 to 1000 integrations available with various security products and applications and offers built-in SOAR capabilities
The documentation part is something that needs to be improved, as well as the threat intelligence investigation part. Logpoint has a kind of site to describe what kinds of threats they are investigating. But that, I think, maybe Logpoint can improve more. The threat investigations and reporting to the end-users can be improved. Logpoint can also come up with IR [incident response] capabilities. Other important SIEM solutions have some IR services. If I am an MSSP working with LogPoint for SIEM/SOAR solutions and I need immediate support, I should be able to get some support. It can be paid support, like SecureWorks, which has those kinds of functionalities. They will immediately get in and start working on helping us identify the threats, isolate them, and give us remedies to take care of and recover from any kind of attacks. Whereas in LogPoint, that functionality is missing. We will be on our own if something happens. We will get other support from them, but there's no paid support before taking ownership and helping us recover from those kinds of attacks. They have a kind of integration for AI, but the incident response capability is what they should improve.
Omer Jamil - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Log collection, dashboards and reporting are good."
"The most valuable feature of LogPoint is that they have the SIEM and SOAR combined in one solution. They are not on a separate platform."
"It is a very comprehensive solution for gathering data. It has got a lot of capabilities for collecting logs from different systems. Logs are notoriously difficult to collect because they come in all formats. LogPoint has a very sophisticated mechanism for you to be able to connect to or listen to a system, get the data, and parse it. Logs come in text formats that are not easily parseable because all logs are not the same, but with LogPoint, you can define a policy for collecting the data. You can create a parser very quickly to get the logs into a structured mechanism so that you can analyze them."
"The most beneficial was being able to prove, with proper reports, that from a compliance perspective, the company is in control. The service part of LogPoint did modifications or did some additional work to have the proper reports defined."
"We like the user and entity behaviour analytics (UEBA) and find it valuable."
"Technical support is responsive and very friendly."
"The main advantage of Logpoint is the support service. They reply within ten minutes to an hour to our queries."
"The search feature is valuable. The dashboards are also valuable for our bosses. Another valuable feature, which is the main feature of the product, is the centralization of all the logs."
"We're using it more for reporting, that's all. We're using it to help our customers to pass any kind of audits that they receive."
"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."
"Using the communication within the security device, it is easier to create plugins."
"Asset discovery seems to be good."
"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."
"There are multiple tools for information security. The solution includes all the latest advances on the network and host intrusion detection systems."
"The asset discovery and inventory capabilities in USM Anywhere is quite good."
"The dashboards are very descriptive and contain just the right amount of information. The activity alarms and events contain a plethora of data that is very descriptive and useful."
 

Cons

"The interface needs things like wizards that will assist with creating complex correlation rules."
"It is a good product, but its interface or GUI could be better."
"LogPoint must find a way to integrate the servers without agents."
"LogPoint can improve its dashboards. We are not able to customize the dashboard when creating them. They only have preset dashboards which do not have exactly what we are looking for."
"Log management could be better because transporting the log from a password to the client system takes time."
"Dashboards could be developed further."
"The general public wasn't looking for that type of product unless you had a company that was medical or financial and needed 24-hour responsiveness."
"It is complicated to collect daily logs from other systems."
"AlienVault needs to continue to integrate with other third-party technologies that clients want to have monitored."
"Pay attention to false-positive event automatic correlations."
"The reporting and dashboards have room for improvement."
"they seem to have bugs from time to time that go unfixed for a while and that is frustrating. I'm not saying the product needs to be bug-free, but they need to be responsive to bugs."
"Sometimes the log is unclear, and the report is a bit ambiguous."
"The reporting is mediocre and is something that needs to be improved."
"It should be able to communicate with other security solutions to stop threats."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"LogPoint seemed like it was a good product, but it was expensive and there wasn't any room to move the pricing when customers needed a lower-costing solution."
"Logpoint's pricing is mid-ranged and depends on the number of devices."
"It's less expensive than the competitors. The Logpoint marketing team is very accommodating and client-friendly. They offer very good reductions in price. They are pretty good in this aspect. They are transparent in their licensing and pricing."
"Our licensing fees are about $10,000 USD per month, which I think is fair."
"It has a fixed price, which is what I like about LogPoint. I bought the system and paid for it, and I pay maintenance. It is not a consumption model. Most SIEMs or most of the log management systems are consumption-based, which means that you pay for how many logs you have in the system. That's a real problem because logs can grow very quickly in different circumstances, and when you have a variable price model, you never know what you're going to pay. Splunk is notoriously expensive for that reason. If you use Splunk or QRadar, it becomes expensive because there are not just the logs; you also have to parse the logs and create indexes. Those indexes can be very expensive in terms of space. Therefore, if they charge you by this space, you can end up paying a significant amount of money. It can be more than what you expect to pay. I like the fact that LogPoint has a fixed cost. I know what I'm going to pay on a yearly basis. I pay that, and I pay the maintenance, and I just make it work."
"For a hundred user deployment the cost is about $10,000. The next year it would be the same because it's a subscription-based license. There are separate costs as well, for example, if a customer asks for training for their staff."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I would rate LogPoint's pricing a seven. It is not very expensive compared to some of the more costly products, and it is not very cheap compared to some of the cheaper products in the SIEM market."
"My company used to pay for LogPoint costs annually. It's a cost-effective solution. I'm not part of the Finance team, though, so I'm not sure exactly what the licensing fee is or what license my company had."
"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."
"​The vulnerability management solution is worse than buying a Nessus Professional license.​"
"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."
"Do the one month trial and try to work out the kinks during it, as it has free support and service hours."
"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 are a little more expensive than Microsoft."
"They charge a license based on the storage. ATT AlienVault USM is a less expensive solution than IBM QRadar."
"It has good pricing."
