Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The native integration with out-of-the box format is hassle free and allows data to be used advantageously."
"The stability is phenomenal and we never had any issues with downtime or even had to restart."
"The tool is simple to use."
"The solution's Kusto Query Language (KQL) execution time is pretty good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides a central locking system for many event sources."
"One of the most valuable features is the business intelligence engine. It's very important because it keeps track of everything that's happening and alerts us if something is different than expected. The first time I used it, I was shocked at how well it performed. Another valuable feature that I think makes this product worth the price you pay for it is that it connects to basically every system that provides some form of logging, and it's very easy to set up what triggers this."
"Sentinel gave us logs to tell us what's going right and wrong in your environment so we could secure the network."
"It makes everything easier by automating some tasks and growing with our needs."
"Ease of deployment across various environments."
"The main menu: You can see everything there, what is happening on the servers, and in the logs, you can view more details of each event."
"As we have to service several servers, we can manage them in a economical way, which is beneficial to our team and business."
"AlienVault's reporting is good. I like that vulnerability assessment is part of the solution, and the UI is intuitive. Also, the overhead is low, which is to say we don't need a dedicated SOC team to manage and analyze things constantly. We're a small company that doesn't have those resources."
"Having everything in a central place has been helpful."
"What I find the most valuable about USM Anywhere is its compliance. It shows a list of all the administrators logged on and does it quite well. There are no whistles and bells, it's reliable and simple to use."
"AlientVault has helped us in improving our visualization and incident response during cybersecurity situations."
"The most valuable feature in AT&T AlienVault USM is the reporting."
"Creating a drag-and-drop dashboard or workbook in Sentinel is a little more complex compared to other tools like LogRhythm and IBM QRadar."
"The solution does not allow outsourced authorizations."
"There is a need for more flexibility in customization, especially when working with different vendors and platforms."
"The dashboard and customer view should be improved"
"It is an ancient product."
"This product's connection to certain types of cloud systems could be improved. We can do Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, but there are a lot of other things happening in the cloud that we do not connect well enough to. This product could be improved with better connection to cloud-based solutions."
"I rate Sentinel a six out of ten for scalability."
"You need a lot of Unix scripting knowledge in order to manage the tool, which is one of the main issues that we faced."
"Different functions to customize reports should be added."
"This solution could be easier to use."
"The vulnerability reporting needs to have options to be able to sort or customize the output."
"USM Anywhere relies a lot on the community putting the data in. Often, you'll right-click on the attack, but nothing will be found. That's a weakness of it."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes the log is unclear, and the report is a bit ambiguous."
