Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."With this tool, we provide access to every developer team the ability to find errors, then they come to us and ask for specific help."
"The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."
"It provides easy visibility. I also like the shareable queries because we share a lot across groups."
"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
"We are able to diagnose problems before our customers."
"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"For many of our services, we use Sumo Logic to track errors and send notifications to our Slack channel, if there are issues. Then, we have our support people monitoring this, and they can react quickly."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"AlienVault provides a checklist answer when using SIEM."
"We're using it more for reporting, that's all. We're using it to help our customers to pass any kind of audits that they receive."
"Every activity on the firewall is recorded, and notifications are sent with this solution."
"Using the communication within the security device, it is easier to create plugins."
"Having everything in a central place has been helpful."
"The vulnerability manager and the file integration are very good."
"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."
"It has powerful threat detection, incident response, and compliance management."
"The solution should improve its UI."
"I would like to see improvement in the user experience when configuring things, ingesting logs, and creating ports."
"We would like to have some type of predefined setup for the logs, making the setup easier by default."
"It would be nice to have an improved ability to scroll through logs within a time frame. Right now, we can search for specific errors. However, if we want to look for "before and after" within a specific time frame, it's not easy using the tool. This would be an improvement."
"We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
"The dashboard has room for improvement, because sometimes it is a difficult to create a specific dashboard or query. This would be a nice place to correct problems."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"The only room for improvement I can mention is the initial installation procedures. I found that the online installation instructions for the product were missing important details, they lacked necessary steps."
"One area that has room for improvement is storage. AllienVault is a good place to put logs, but sometimes it's a tough place to go get logs... The logger can only hold so much data. If they improved that, that would help."
"The lack of mature functionality and expertise in any of those areas is a strong negative."
"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."
"We would like more plugins. This being the main point of improvement which would benefit the users."
"The reporting aspect could be improved. While there are a lot of different options available, there are still pieces which are missing."
"It was easy on PoC, but when we got to the product it was different story. We had to learn the product again and got feeling that the PoC was a different product."
"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."
