"Our main focus was intrusion detection, alerts, and correlation. It's easy to use AlienVault and integrate it with other alert tools because it includes lots of connectors. Either the tool is already there, or AlienVault will write an API for us if they don't have a connector for the solution that is providing the logs."
"It brought our logs into one place for review and set up alarms based on changes we were missing due to lack of having one place for everything to go."
"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."
"Vulnerability scanning helped out shortcomings of what was not patched in the past and what needed to be patched. This assisted with fine tuning the environment for compliance."
"Log-monitoring and alerting enable us to know when things happen that we need to know about."
"Asset discovery seems to be good."
"The new cloud-based panel is excellent both for client review as well as for our SOC to review and respond to threats. It is much easier to configure and use than the previous solution from AlienVault."
"The product is very stable."
"Zabbix is scalable."
"The integration with third-party tools and the alerts are most valuable."
"The features I found most valuable are the user interface and a wide range of network devices that are easy to configure."
"The template system in Zabbix is very beneficial as it saves time in configuration."
"We detect problems before the customer does and before it actually happens using the predictive functions in Zabbix."
"In terms of customization and integration, we have more flexibility. We can automate configurations, define deletion rules, and customize based on the needs. The client interface allows for further configuration, making it quite comprehensive."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"I've been using it just for my own personal upskilling in terms of how the product works. At the moment, it is pretty straightforward and simple, and it is working how it is supposed to. The feedback would come once it is deployed to customer sites. They'll be using it on a more frequent basis, and that's when the feedback would come in terms of the areas in which they're facing issues or are looking for simplicity."
"The GUI needs to improve because it's not user-friendly."
"It would be hard for any legitimate MSSP to use it."
"The reporting is mediocre and is something that needs to be improved."
"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."
"It would be nice to see some machine learning and monitoring of the configuration in network devices."
"In the future, I would like to see all these features of the solution working properly."
"We would like more plugins. This being the main point of improvement which would benefit the users."
"The documentation gets a bit messy between versions and is not too detailed, which is a bit painful for first-timers, especially when they run into issues."
"The user interface could be a bit better. They could update it a bit."
"It would be helpful if they translated the documentation to Cyrillic languages."
"There are a lot of areas for improvement, specifically in the dashboards and reports functionalities."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
"We would like to see the addition of automatic push functionality to this product. This would save time when monitoring our servers and networks as, at present, we have to manually install the Zabbix agent on any hardware to be monitored."
"In an upcoming release, there should be automated reports which we are currently doing manually. For example, if we collect a report file every day and want to send it to a moderator for review. We are expecting this feature to come out soon but it would be valuable to have now."
"Zabbix is not easy to configure, and upgrading is also an issue."
