Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to browse logs from multiple sources at the same time really speeds up root cause analysis."

"It has the ability to alert and track logs from different sources."

"We can save logs as plain text."

"Integration of InsightOps with other tools, especially SIEM solutions, has generally improved operational efficiency."

"The most valuable feature of Rapid7 InsightOps is the search functionality."

"AlientVault has helped us in improving our visualization and incident response during cybersecurity situations."

"The asset management functionality (active and passive scans) is also really important. You can't protect what you do not know about, so having an inventory of all your devices and software is critical to a security management program."

"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."

"The other big selling feature for us was its integration capabilities with all the other security-based products."

"Ease of deployment across various environments."

"AlienVault has an advanced component within one package. With this, we can cover more area with one solution."

"The IDS and the threat intelligence are very useful. They are very intuitive and data-rich."

"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."

More USM Anywhere pros

Cons

"There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution."

"Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time."

"Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users."

"Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything."

"The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time."

"The dashboard could be improved as well as the level of customization."

"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."

"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 reporting tools are a bit lacking for building reports to give directly to customers, but support has been helpful in giving our requests for new features to the development team and following up with us."

"The reporting and dashboards have room for improvement."

"Source material on the forums to be more up-to-date with the changes happening within the product. Forums being out-of-date with information due to the changes makes troubleshooting a little more difficult - specific to the HIDS agents."

"Plugins could be better utilized, as some of them do not recognize all logs."

"There could be some type of integration with our existing portal. We have our own customer portals, and it would be good if there was an integration so that our portal can provide reports. There could be some type of API into the AlienVault system with the USM system so that it is easy to show the customers high-level reports of the system through our portal."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is cheap."

"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."

"It's affordable for most customers."

"AlienVault is flexible on their pricing for unlimited licenses."

"Use the AlienVault team. They are helpful and the documentation that they provide is second to none."

"The price point is good."

"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."

"QRadar, ArcSight and Splunk are some of the most expensive SIEM products out there in the market and not everyone has the budget to buy them. In such cases, AV USM is a very cost effective alternative."

"They are a little more expensive than Microsoft."
