Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable."
"You can use different solutions in a single platform which is very easy and attractive for customers."
"The main thing is the value proposition. It is one of the most sophisticated yet affordable solutions that I've come across. It is also one of the easiest-to-manage yet comprehensive solutions for a SOC analyst. Its customizations are really good, and it has a lot of integrations. It is multi-tenant and very fast to onboard. Its stability is 100%. We've never had an outage with it. It doesn't require extensive hardware resources. Its level of support is also very good. They have a very responsive technical team."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its artificial intelligence."
"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform notifies only genuine alerts. It offers plenty of options that are suitable for MSPs."
"The algorithm used in Seceon OTM is clear and logical, categorizing events as needed. This helps us identify and respond to threats effectively."
"If we compare the solution with other SIEM solutions that are also turning to artificial intelligence, this will be the number one choice."
"It offers a holistic approach with multiple solutions blended into one platform."
"The most useful feature is the customization for alarms, alerts, and reports."
"It has allowed us to see what is happening on our servers."
"For what it can do and the cost, it was the best SIEM tool!"
"AlienVault is a full featured cost effective SIEM that provides quality threat intelligence for a lot less than the competition."
"Pricing was a very important consideration and lower than the other SIEM solutions evaluated."
"Ease of deployment across various environments."
"The vulnerability manager and the file integration are very good."
"I would encourage others to go with this solution because it is easy to deploy, and it provides good tools to know more about your network and the traffic on it."
 

Cons

"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform sells some add-ons as part of the whole suite but not individually. If they sold them individually, they could potentially attract more business."
"It is a standalone solution now. They need to make it into a cloud-based subscription model. It needs more compatibility for co-managed solutions. It can also have more threats and deeper integration with Microsoft."
"It would be ideal with the processing was more manageable."
"The product should improve the triggering rate."
"The management console could use some enhancements."
"Certain features, such as DLP, need to be improved as they are superficial and not in-depth."
"For future releases, integrating incident response tools and improving communication on incident reporting could be beneficial."
"For small to medium-sized customers, Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is good. However, for large enterprises, it is not as effective."
"There could be some type of integration with our existing portal."
"Their threat intelligence platform needs to be broadened."
"Most of the troubleshooting requires going through the Linux command line and bypassing the GUI."
"Creating directives is a pain on its own, but editing them can be a nightmare filled with tedious unnecessary steps."
"Reporting is convoluted and difficult at times, although they claim to have hundreds of pre-built reports, very few of them are actually useful for anything but what the USM is doing."
"It should be able to communicate with other security solutions to stop threats."
"AT&T AlienVault USM can improve searchable data. It should be available for more than 90 days. If you need more than 90 days of data, you have to put a request and they give you raw data, which is not easy to search. A good addition would be to allow users to search data older than 90 days."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I find Seceon OTM's pricing to be reasonable, not too high or low, just okay for the market standards. I can't disclose specific figures, we pay on a quarterly basis under a service model. I would rate it eight out of ten. As a customer, I always hope for better pricing options."
"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is cost-effective because it's a comprehensive platform that offers high availability."
"The solution is cheap and very competitive. It offers good tuning in terms of the pricing. Other solutions like Palo Alto and IBM are more expensive."
"The pricing is very competitive. It's not expensive."
"We used the solution's trial version for two months and later purchased it."
"It has a per-asset model instead of an ingestion-based model, which gives predictable pricing. In terms of price, it is in the middle to lower range of SIEMs that it competes against. It is the most affordable solution that we have implemented so far. It was much more affordable than anything else I've implemented."
"The price is quite reasonable."
"It is a product that is priced in a medium range, making it neither a cheap nor a costly product."
"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."
"They are a little more expensive than Microsoft."
"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."
"Pricing is very competitive with other products and you get much more functionality from AlienVault."
"We checked out several competitors. For what it can do and the cost, it was the best option!"
"It is affordable, and it also has many features that the premium products such as ArcSight and QRadar have. It is a very good platform for a SIEM solution. Everything is included in the price."
"Do the one month trial and try to work out the kinks during it, as it has free support and service hours."
