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."
"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 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."
"It allows for a lot of out-of-the-box features: vuln scanning, HIDS/HIPS, and IDS."
"The USM is a work horse, no matter what devices or the number of logs we throw at it, the system processes them in real time, correlates the events, and alerts on only events that need human review."
"There are multiple tools for information security. The solution includes all the latest advances on the network and host intrusion detection systems."
"It has streamlined log aggregation and analysis to meet organizational and regulatory needs."
"This solution can completely detect and prevent incidents on your network."
"The ease of implementation is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
"The reporting is mediocre and is something that needs to be improved."
"Plugins could be better utilized, as some of them do not recognize all logs."
"Windows log collection works with HIDS, but documentation is sparse and confusing."
"The dashboard could be improved as well as the level of customization."
"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."
"Its reporting tools need improvements. It would be good if they can provide integration with other ticketing systems. Currently, we only have integration with Slack and Jira. It is also a bit slow, and its replication engine can be improved."
"Adding a parsing interface for the customers would make AT&T AlienVault USM better."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
"We checked out several competitors. For what it can do and the cost, it was the best option!"
"The price for this solution is very good, but since the features do not work the price is expensive."
"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."
"Negotiate the best package for your environment."
"​The price point is good.​"
"It is a product that is priced in a medium range, making it neither a cheap nor a costly product."
"Pricing is very competitive with other products and you get much more functionality from AlienVault."
"AlienVault is certainly not nearly as expensive as Splunk or QRadar. It's decently priced, but I don't have the exact figure."
