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 other big selling feature for us was its integration capabilities with all the other security-based products."
"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."
"The most valuable feature in AT&T AlienVault USM is the reporting."
"On any given day I could give you a different answer regarding the most valuable features of the product. The feature that is most important is the fact that it has a lot of features, that it's not just a log collection and correlation system, that it has a lot of other components built in. The bundle of features is really the killer feature."
"It is my "security person" looking at irregularities and letting me know when something has occurred."
"The ease of implementation is the most valuable feature."
"The solution has all the features that we need, however they do not work correctly."
"As we have to service several servers, we can manage them in a economical way, which is beneficial to our team and business."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
"Their threat intelligence platform needs to be broadened. They should integrate it with more threat intelligence platforms. For the threat feed that they get from open intelligence, I would like them to add a few premium threat intelligence platforms. They can provide a bundle in which AlienVault has the threat intelligence background of other premium products."
"The solution is a bit complicated. It could be simplified quite a bit."
"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'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."
"The vulnerability scanning feature is one of the areas where the product has certain shortcomings and needs to improve. The tool has vulnerability scanning, but it is not that efficient."
"It was easy on PoC, but when we got to the product it was different story. We had to learn the product again and got feeling that the PoC was a different product."
"I'd like to see a dashboard that's a little more descriptive."
"Search performance can be slow. The Raw Logs feature is painfully slow. And if we're talking about the newer, the Anywhere product, you can't even schedule reports on the thing. There are probably a dozen other features I'd really like to see there, but that would be one of the biggies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
"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."
"Its price is much lower than McAfee ESM."
"We ran a few PoCs. The price and feature set were the best with AlienVault."
"I rate the price of AT&T AlienVault USM a four out of five."
"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."
"They charge a license based on the storage. ATT AlienVault USM is a less expensive solution than IBM QRadar."
"It has good pricing."
"​The price point is good.​"
