Featured Reviews

Zuhair Hasan - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager, Information Technology Security at Nesma
Has good integration capability and provides information and events but improvement is needed in information retrieval speed
The best features are the comprehensive event collection and analysis. Once set up properly, we receive all events and information. The team analyzes our data and presents incidents to us. We can communicate with their team to escalate and resolve incidents. It has a feature we use to search for information about our environment and past incidents. This is very valuable. The integration capability is very good - the ClearSkies SaaS NG SIEM team is collaborative. We've integrated most of our systems, including EDR and NDR. They have agents to collect events from servers and assets.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ClearSkies is the best for software as a service and small organizations with up to 500 employees."
"The correlation rules and the user platform are most valuable."
"The integration capability is very good - the ClearSkies SaaS NG SIEM team is collaborative. We've integrated most of our systems, including EDR and NDR. They have agents to collect events from servers and assets."
"The Event Correlation and vulnerability scans have been the most useful. As a 24/7 SOC, we use the incoming alarms to give an overview of suspicious traffic going through the network. It's easy to look at the correlated events and see the broad picture of traffic for that customer. Vulnerability scans are good for providing patch and remediation guidelines to keep customer systems secure."
"The UI is clean and easy to use."
"Once we placed AlienVault in the product we have now, the time it takes to find and respond to real anomalies has dropped from hours to minutes, it has so much potential to be an amazing product despite its many issues."
"The product is now stable and it is a Swiss army knife packed with lot of tools."
"Every activity on the firewall is recorded, and notifications are sent with this solution."
"AlienVault has allowed us to help our customers satisfy compliance needs around logging and monitoring (HIPAA, PCI, etc.) and has also provided a comprehensive platform that goes beyond just being a SIEM."
"Pricing is very competitive with other products and you get much more functionality from AlienVault."
"For what it can do and the cost, it was the best SIEM tool!"
 

Cons

"They can add behavior analytics and AI or machine learning technology."
"The main issue for improvement is the platform's slowness in presenting information. Retrieving information can take a little time when clicking on something."
"They can add behavior analytics and AI or machine learning technology. They also improve their correlation engine. In addition to collecting logs from devices, they can collect the traffic and then correlate these logs and the traffic information."
"Reporting and Windows log collection is the biggest drawback."
"The only that I can think of is that is not ideal is sending Windows Server logs to their device, to the system."
"Product stability: The biggest issue we have seen with the product is its poor stability. Every version upgrade is a nightmare."
"The reporting aspect could be improved. While there are a lot of different options available, there are still pieces which are missing."
"I feel that some areas of improvement would be vulnerability scanning. We use a separate product that seems to do a much better job."
"The vulnerability scanning feature is one of the areas where the product has certain shortcomings and needs to improve. The tool has vulnerability scanning, but it is not that efficient."
"For creating new rules, you have to be familiar with regular expressions. I feel there could be something built-in to make sure that process is easier."
"AlienVault must improve their correlation feature. Some of the events do not match with the correlation rules and some of the correlation events are false-positive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding pricing, I'd say it's in the middle range. Pricing is very good compared to others."
"They have changed the pricing policy. Its price is competitive. Its price is less than half of the price of QRadar, LogRhythm, and Splunk."
"The price for this solution is very good, but since the features do not work the price is expensive."
"Its price is much lower than McAfee ESM."
"Do the one month trial and try to work out the kinks during it, as it has free support and service hours."
"​The vulnerability management solution is worse than buying a Nessus Professional license.​"
"We pay around $12,000 a year including storage."
"​The price point is good.​"
"It's affordable for most customers."
"We ran a few PoCs. The price and feature set were the best with AlienVault."
