We performed a comparison between USM Anywhere and VMware Aria Operations for Logs based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The other big selling feature for us was its integration capabilities with all the other security-based products."
"The feature that I liked the most is that they have a vulnerability assessment package that comes along with the SIEM solution. So, whenever I find any threat or alert for any of the devices or servers, I could immediately initiate a vulnerability assessment scan on that machine. That is one of a kind. The price at which AlienVault operates is also valuable."
"There are multiple tools for information security. The solution includes all the latest advances on the network and host intrusion detection systems."
"I can easily check (in one place) all the logs and data in relation to attacks. It also gives me an overview if a server is not configured properly."
"The main menu: You can see everything there, what is happening on the servers, and in the logs, you can view more details of each event."
"The most valuable feature is vulnerability management because it gives you insight into your environment to know what systems need to be updated or patched."
"The vulnerability manager and the file integration are very good."
"AlientVault has helped us in improving our visualization and incident response during cybersecurity situations."
"We are using it because we have a VMware product. It has its own built in dashboards for VMware products, and that's a good thing."
"I like the interface."
"The system's management and its alerts are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"We use the on-premises version of this solution for log analysis and to find details about certain issues."
"Log Insight correlates with the VMware product log. It can assemble the logs you want, making it easier to find the output, incident, or keyword you want to search."
"The tool helps my company deal with security and log analysis, which are very important areas for us...It is a scalable solution."
"One of the things I like about it is its interface. When it comes to generating reports on VMs and stuff, it's very quick. This is very handy for the technical team, who need to generate reports quickly. So that's really good."
"Adding a parsing interface for the customers would make AT&T AlienVault USM better."
"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."
"I think plugin management should be self-service on AlienVault USM. The other product is self-service but on the USM side. You have to submit a ticket then AT&T creates and updates the plugins."
"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."
"Sometimes the log is unclear, and the report is a bit ambiguous."
"The UI and overall processes need a little bit more love. This shows in the error banners that come up when you select certain things. There isn't a day that goes by that the UI doesn't error out and I can't view events for an alarm."
"As this software is in the cloud, you do not have control on updates and general changes which are happening."
"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."
"The solution isn't user-friendly for admins."
"Technical support should be improved."
"The solution should be more user-friendly. The user interface and dashboard could be simplified."
"The solution is a very good tool, but it has a lot of limitations. One of the main issues is around how you define your retention policy, for instance, in Log Insight. It doesn't have it. You can't define a log retention policy. You also can't define the destination or location for your logs. All of the logs are in one index or one bucket."
"The monitoring landscape is getting bigger. When it comes to infrastructure monitoring, we need more visibility. VMware needs to integrate more related applications and third-party products. That would make it more appealing to an audience beyond the VMware team."
"The product's price falls on the higher end of the spectrum, making it an area of concern."
"The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring."
"It's great for VMware, but it would be good if they had third-party logins."
