Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Previous to this, we really didn't have any protection, any intrusion system in place, and it's made me more comfortable, since I'm in charge of IT for this company, because I sleep better at night."
"AlienVault provides us with a very easy to use, central spot to view log files, and take appropriate action."
"AlienVault provides a checklist answer when using SIEM."
"The ROI is very good if you evaluate all the services which AlienVault can help you with: detection of Malware, bad activities, suspicious behavior, etc."
"The setup of AlienVault is extremely easy; it is very simple to understand for someone who is trying a SIEM solution for the first time, and the integration of servers and other devices is extremely easy, as it is a piece of cake where you just double-click and start, and you are up and running."
"AlienVault provided the best bang for buck."
"This is a USM, so being able to get all the features under one roof makes it a good product with good new features."
"Ease of deployment across various environments."
"The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."
"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
 

Cons

"As it includes multiple security softwares, the installation and configuration takes a lot of time."
"One of the problems we had with stability was a problem of our own."
"I'd like to see built in support to detect more security incidents."
"We develop additional rules and scripts to make it more usable."
"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."
"Search performance can be slow. The Raw Logs feature is painfully slow. And if we're talking about the newer, the Anywhere product, you can't even schedule reports on the thing. There are probably a dozen other features I'd really like to see there, but that would be one of the biggies."
"Vendor. Not the best."
"Plugins: most plugins are not up to date with the newer versions of products."
"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution is reasonable, which is one of the reasons why we selected it over other solutions."
"So far, I feel the product's pricing is a good value. The technology is decent. You get what you pay for. I think it's fair."
"The licensing fees are dependent on usage."
"Use the AlienVault team. They are helpful and the documentation that they provide is second to none."
"I don't know exactly, but I know it is based on the number of logs and the retention duration, such as 30 days or something like that. So, the smallest package is about 500 a month for 30 days of logs. There is a virtual machine. You need resources for it. It is a log collecting VM. They provide the software, and you just have to load a virtual machine. So, you're going to incur some CPU RAM and storage for wherever this log collecting appliance is running, which typically is in our cloud and on our platform for the customer."
"It allows you to do a lot with a small price tag... The pricing is the best on the market."
"I rate the price of AT&T AlienVault USM a four out of five."
"AlienVault is certainly not nearly as expensive as Splunk or QRadar. It's decently priced, but I don't have the exact figure."
"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
