More Google Cloud's operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) Pros →
"The setup is very easy and straightforward."
"This solution can completely detect and prevent incidents on your network."
"Any unusual behaviour, we can monitor. We have alerts set up to be sent when we receive signs of any unusual behaviour."
"The IDS and the threat intelligence are very useful. They are very intuitive and data-rich."
"Asset discovery and vulnerability scanner are good features. The integration between this solution and OTX, which is an AlienVault platform for Open Threat Exchange, is also a valuable feature. It is also quick and easy to deploy, so you can quickly engage with a customer's environment."
"AlienVault has an advanced component within one package. With this, we can cover more area with one solution."
"The most valuable feature in AT&T AlienVault USM is the reporting."
"This is a USM, so being able to get all the features under one roof makes it a good product with good new features."
"If I want to track any round-trip or breakdowns of my response times, I'm not able to get it. My request goes through various levels of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and comes back to my client machine. Suppose that my request has taken 10 seconds overall, so if I want to break it down, to see where the delay is happening within my architecture, I am not able to find that out using Stackdriver."
"Lacking sufficient operations documentation."
"While we are satisfied with the overall performance, in certain cases we must add additional metrics and additional tools like Grafana and Dynatrace."
"The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."
"It is difficult to estimate in advance how much something is going to cost."
"It could be even more automated."
"It could be more stable."
"This solution could be improved if it offered the ability to analyze charts, such as a solution like Kibana."
More Google Cloud's operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) Cons →
"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."
"As this software is in the cloud, you do not have control on updates and general changes which are happening."
"The reporting tools are a bit lacking for building reports to give directly to customers, but support has been helpful in giving our requests for new features to the development team and following up with us."
"The GUI needs to improve because it's not user-friendly."
"It should be able to communicate with other security solutions to stop threats."
"I've been told that AlienVault doesn't have a full version of NES running in there, but I'm not sure if that's accurate or if my engineer made it that way. I'm not sure he was completely honest either because we had NES in the environment before. Those tools could be improved because AlienVault is a SIEM, and it added all these other features."
"I want to see more compliance management capability. The quality of integrations seems to be a little bit low."
"The price of AT&T AlienVault USM could be reduced."
