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 security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."
"The ease of implementation is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"It provides a single pane of glass view, coupled with a whole security ecosystem. The ability to manage everything from a central point, including vulnerability assessments, asset management - including the services provided by the various hosts, NIDS, HIDS, etc. - provides a very efficient way of dealing with things."
"Vulnerability scanning helped out shortcomings of what was not patched in the past and what needed to be patched. This assisted with fine tuning the environment for compliance."
"This is a USM, so being able to get all the features under one roof makes it a good product with good new features."
"It has allowed us to see what is happening on our servers."
"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."
"Every activity on the firewall is recorded, and notifications are sent with this solution."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
"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."
"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."
"There are many reports included but would be nice to have better access to the data."
"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."
"We develop additional rules and scripts to make it more usable."
"Pay attention to false-positive event automatic correlations."
"I want to see more compliance management capability. The quality of integrations seems to be a little bit low."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
"​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."
"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."
"Use an MSSP instead. It is much cheaper."
"It is a product that is priced in a medium range, making it neither a cheap nor a costly product."
"Do the one month trial and try to work out the kinks during it, as it has free support and service hours."
"The price of this solution is reasonable, which is one of the reasons why we selected it over other solutions."
"It has good pricing."

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.
