Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We haven't had any stability issues."
"It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications."
"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."
"The reports that you can run are really nice."
"The solution could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox."
"The most valuable features for us are the application logs monitoring and the dashboard, which provides a single-pane view of all the ongoing activities."
"It basically helps us. We have to stay in compliance with certain issues with some of our customers. We have to have these types of tools in place for protecting our network and our data. We're in the aerospace industry, so we have a lot of defense contracts. So, all those guys will make sure that we're protecting their information, and it does a good job in that aspect."
"My main objective for using ManageEngine Log360 is its powerful and real-time capabilities for managing security and other tasks efficiently."
"Ease of deployment across various environments."
"The Event Correlation and vulnerability scans have been the most useful. As a 24/7 SOC, we use the incoming alarms to give an overview of suspicious traffic going through the network. It's easy to look at the correlated events and see the broad picture of traffic for that customer. Vulnerability scans are good for providing patch and remediation guidelines to keep customer systems secure."
"As we have to service several servers, we can manage them in a economical way, which is beneficial to our team and business."
"AlienVault's reporting is good. I like that vulnerability assessment is part of the solution, and the UI is intuitive. Also, the overhead is low, which is to say we don't need a dedicated SOC team to manage and analyze things constantly. We're a small company that doesn't have those resources."
"SIEM log collection is great, and all of the rules that support updates with maintenance."
"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."
"OTX is a great module that lets staff maintain and monitor updates regarding events in the infrastructure and takes decision to improve the security perimeter."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is security management for PCI DSS."
 

Cons

"Most times log sheets are not assigned well."
"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"On the logging system, there's a local on-client side that is encrypted, and there's one that is not encrypted. It is only for diagnostical purposes. However, both being encrypted would be very valuable for some audits."
"The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities."
"The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment."
"We can log in as a local user, and it's fine, but when we login with an Active Directory user, we cannot."
"While ManageEngine Log360 is a significant improvement, there could be enhancements in terms of integrating more user-friendly training materials and better deployment documentation."
"The support needs improvement."
"Adding a parsing interface for the customers would make AT&T AlienVault USM better."
"The price of AT&T AlienVault USM could be reduced."
"Support can be slow at times, but the quality is high. Posted knowledge base articles could use improvement."
"The only complex area of the setup was writing the custom scripts."
"For creating new rules, you have to be familiar with regular expressions. I feel there could be something built-in to make sure that process is easier."
"I feel that some areas of improvement would be vulnerability scanning. We use a separate product that seems to do a much better job."
"The solution is a bit complicated. It could be simplified quite a bit."
"Sometimes the log is unclear, and the report is a bit ambiguous."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."
"There is a cost for each feature used."
"ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."
"My client has a yearly license. I think the cost is not expensive compared to that of other SIEMs, given the service it is providing."
"Its pricing is definitely huge compared to some of the other SIEMs. Its price should be improved."
"The price for this solution is very good, but since the features do not work the price is expensive."
"Pricing is very competitive with other products and you get much more functionality from AlienVault."
"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."
"Negotiate the best package for your environment."
"The pricing is a good value. 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."
"It's saved security costs."
"It has good pricing."
"We pay around $12,000 a year including storage."
