Automating intelligence workflows significantly reduces false positives and enhances response efficiency

ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) offers valuable workflows that integrate with our SOAR platform. It performs dedicated threat scoring capabilities which enrich internal indicators and automate response actions. This has been a key feature in our environment, which we have utilized for picking IOCs. The platform can be domain-specific and customer-specific, allowing data isolation for each customer. The scoring capabilities of ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) deserve a rating of nine out of ten. Its scalability and threat scoring capabilities have reduced false positives in our detection, as we dynamically change the IOCs which are updated daily through scheduled polling time over QRadar and SOAR.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's installation, integration, and playbooks are very straightforward."

"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) has positively impacted my organization by reducing our MTTD through enriching alerts and providing contextual threat intelligence in real-time, cutting down our triage time for high-priority incidents."

"The most valuable features are ease of use and the ability to customize it."

"It's a solid platform and is stable enough. It is not complicated and is easy to use."

"The product automatically generated a threat score based on the maliciousness of an IP."

"We have been able to see a return on investment as our clients believe in us more."

"The Playbook feature is a game-changer for us, as the integration is available with the SOAR."

"I like their customer support."

More ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) pros

"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."

"We had used previous products and found AlienVault centralized the logging for our security."

"The most valuable feature in AT&T AlienVault USM is the reporting."

"It provides a single pane of glass view, coupled with a whole security ecosystem. The ability to manage everything from a central point, including vulnerability assessments, asset management - including the services provided by the various hosts, NIDS, HIDS, etc. - provides a very efficient way of dealing with things."

"The USM is a work horse, no matter what devices or the number of logs we throw at it, the system processes them in real time, correlates the events, and alerts on only events that need human review."

"There are multiple tools for information security. The solution includes all the latest advances on the network and host intrusion detection systems."

"The ease of implementation is the most valuable feature."

"Easy to use, scalable, stable, and very intuitive platform that provides protection against security threats."

More USM Anywhere pros

Cons

"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) could be improved by addressing challenges such as the customization over the tagging mechanism, where filtering based on individual tags is not available, limiting data export."

"I couldn’t get any training videos online when I was working with the tool."

"They should make it a little bit easier to generate events and share them with the community"

"Integration is an area that could use some improvement."

"Sometimes, when using the solution, it slows down, affecting our ability to mitigate threats."

"It would be good to have more feeds and more integrated sources for enrichment."

More ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) cons

"Source material on the forums to be more up-to-date with the changes happening within the product. Forums being out-of-date with information due to the changes makes troubleshooting a little more difficult - specific to the HIDS agents."

"There could be some type of integration with our existing portal. We have our own customer portals, and it would be good if there was an integration so that our portal can provide reports. There could be some type of API into the AlienVault system with the USM system so that it is easy to show the customers high-level reports of the system through our portal."

"The price of AT&T AlienVault USM could be reduced."

"The other thing is the agent is OSSEC. They needed to create its own agent to help to find threats on the devices that it happens to be installed."

"Adding a parsing interface for the customers would make AT&T AlienVault USM better."

"The solution already has quite good tools, however, they need better integration tools for linking with Office 365, Google Suite, and so on."

"Their threat intelligence platform needs to be broadened. They should integrate it with more threat intelligence platforms. For the threat feed that they get from open intelligence, I would like them to add a few premium threat intelligence platforms. They can provide a bundle in which AlienVault has the threat intelligence background of other premium products."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is expensive."

"The price could be better."

"I rate the product price as six on a scale of one to ten, where one is extremely expensive, and ten means it is cheap."

"The price of this product is in the mid-range, not too expensive, nor inexpensive."

"The ROI is quite good."

"Pricing is very competitive with other products and you get much more functionality from AlienVault."

"The price point is good."

"They are a little more expensive than Microsoft."

"The licensing fees are dependent on usage."

"QRadar, ArcSight and Splunk are some of the most expensive SIEM products out there in the market and not everyone has the budget to buy them. In such cases, AV USM is a very cost effective alternative."

"It's affordable for most customers."

"AlienVault is certainly not nearly as expensive as Splunk or QRadar. It's decently priced, but I don't have the exact figure."
