Our customers have three use cases, Log aggregation, correlation, and the SIEM functionalities. Our customers are mostly in the finance and banking sectors.
In my company, we use the solution in our security operation center to monitor the client environment and as a solution that provides us with continuous monitoring ability.
I find that USM Anywhere is not overly complicated and things flow logically. The way it lays out the Microsoft alert and formats the text for you so you can actually read it is very workable.
AlienVault provides a central place for monitoring the logs from various security tools in our environment, such as CrowdStrike and Datrix. It gives us complete visibility into the logs from those tools and endpoints in our environment. We use AlienVault for managing logs and vulnerabilities with tools like CrowdStrike.
We use it for log management, which is connected to our active directory and other servers. It is agent-based and picklocks for our firewall. Every activity on the firewall is recorded, and notifications are sent with this solution.

I used it in my previous company. My main use case was to identify the security events. Basically, it was a platform through which we used to monitor threat events for SOC operations. We had its latest version. We used to keep updating it whenever there was a new release. AlienVault was on-prem, and for cloud, we had Wazuh.
We have customers from the retail, industrial, strategic resource, and OT infrastructure sectors who are using AT&T AlienVault USM. The solution has several use cases.

AlienVault USM is an SaaS solution offered through the cloud. It's a security incident event management solution that scans logs to look for various security patterns that are shipped to it. Then it alerts us so we can identify trends.
We use it for compliance. We're not using it as a security operation center type of thing. Its usage is more from an auditing standpoint at this point. We partner with them for customers who need something like a SIEM, so we're a cloud provider and integrator. It is deployed on the cloud. It is a combination of AT&T's own cloud and our cloud. We run our own infrastructure. So, it is a hybrid and private cloud.
We provide information security services to clients. We are seeking some clients to provide monitoring services by using AlienVault. We are also providing AlienVault USM Anywhere, which is cloud-based and has integration with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

We were trying to get into the security market to be able to offer something to our clients who are asking for a monitoring event management system. We started looking at what we could offer as an MSP to our clients; that's what drove us into evaluating different SIEM products, to get a better understanding of how the billing is set up as a partner. Alien Vault had the best set up for MSPs — the way they are set up for billing and the way they set up their USM account.

We have used AlienVault for our security monitoring for threat protection and compliance management. We've seen an improvement against malware and viruses. It has definitely eased our concerns so we can focus on other things.
We use it to gain security visibility and to meet compliance. We're not just a customer but we're a partner as well. We've deployed this into thousands of organizations and we continue to see that happening. It's a great tool.

* MDR provider * Logs aggregation * Vulnerability assessments * Some automation. We needed a way to see all of these items under one pane of glass without spending incredible amounts of money on log aggregation, vulnerability assessments, etc., then putting it all together with an IR platform.
AlienVault USM is a single pane of glass solution. It has not only SIEM capabilities but also other capabilities. AlienVault USM Anywhere is easy to deploy with their cloud-based model, and deploying the required agents on-prem (or in the cloud) is quick and easy. USM Anywhere also takes care of reporting for ISO and PCI, allowing you to pull reports for auditors at a moment's notice.
Our initial need which brought us to acquire this solution was to be in compliance with GDPR requirements. Our environment is cloud-based (specifically AWS).
We use AWS for our application platform and wanted a SIEM that was easy to deploy as a service and that had functionality and integrations focused on AWS. We found AlienVault was the best on price vs features and the team at AlienVault worked hard to make sure we were happy during our on-boarding. Features are rolled out fast and issues addressed quickly. The integration of OTX out-of-box and at no additional cost was a real selling point and the AWS features made it a clear winner.

As a product-agnostic Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP), AlienVault USM is one of several SIEM solutions we utilize in our Security Operation Center (SOC). We deploy, manage, and monitor the solution for other clients, and we use it for ourselves. As do most SIEMs, AlienVault allows us a central location to monitor the cybersecurity of an IT environment. It's impossible to avoid 100% of attacks, so after setting up defenses, the next best thing is to have 24/7 eyes-on-glass to be able to quickly respond to incidents as they happen.

Our use of the solution is all over the map. We use it for our own internal use. We use it in our security operations center. We're a reseller, we're an MSSP, and a Professional Services provider, so we do a lot of professional services on the platform. It's a standard SIEM solution and is used for log collection, log management, event correlation, alarming, and reporting.
My company wanted to get software which would be able to monitor resources in AWS, mainly IDS in one cumulative GUI, then add extra requirements with AlienVault match.
