Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can save logs as plain text."

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

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

"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."

"Easy to use, scalable, stable, and very intuitive platform that provides protection against security threats."

"The dashboards are very descriptive and contain just the right amount of information. The activity alarms and events contain a plethora of data that is very descriptive and useful."

"The feature that I liked the most is that they have a vulnerability assessment package that comes along with the SIEM solution. So, whenever I find any threat or alert for any of the devices or servers, I could immediately initiate a vulnerability assessment scan on that machine. That is one of a kind. The price at which AlienVault operates is also valuable."

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

"We're using it more for reporting, that's all. We're using it to help our customers to pass any kind of audits that they receive."

"The new cloud-based panel is excellent both for client review as well as for our SOC to review and respond to threats. It is much easier to configure and use than the previous solution from AlienVault."

"The vulnerability scanning is helpful to identify the areas that need patching or fixes installed."

"This is a USM, so being able to get all the features under one roof makes it a good product with good new features."

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."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"This solution could be easier to use."

"There is room for improvement in Log parsing."

"Pay attention to false-positive event automatic correlations."

"There are many reports included but would be nice to have better access to the data."

"More complimentary training needs to be done for use with this tool. If you get into a bind, then it will cost you."

"The AT&T AlienVault USM is okay, but the relational database is not very good for large amounts of data. For example, many logs cannot be processed. It has been very slow for the queries and some data which are large, it is not very good in this case."

"AlienVault needs to continue to integrate with other third-party technologies that clients want to have monitored."

"The UI and overall processes need a little bit more love. This shows in the error banners that come up when you select certain things. There isn't a day that goes by that the UI doesn't error out and I can't view events for an alarm."

More USM Anywhere cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is cheap."

"They charge a license based on the storage. ATT AlienVault USM is a less expensive solution than IBM QRadar."

"It's affordable for most customers."

"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."

"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."

"I rate the price of AT&T AlienVault USM a four out of five."

"They are a little more expensive than Microsoft."

"Its price is in the medium to upper range."
