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."It is my "security person" looking at irregularities and letting me know when something has occurred."

"AlientVault has helped us in improving our visualization and incident response during cybersecurity situations."
"The setup is very easy and straightforward."
"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."
"In terms of monitoring, my best feature would be the monitoring of components across the network. It monitors the respective nodes and any new node that comes onto the network and provides reports. The reporting dashboards are really helpful for management in terms of making decisions around patch management."
"We had used previous products and found AlienVault centralized the logging for our security."
"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."
"The tool helps my company deal with security and log analysis, which are very important areas for us...It is a scalable solution."
"It allows us to gain a comprehensive overview of our infrastructure."
"We use the on-premises version of this solution for log analysis and to find details about certain issues."
"The most valuable feature is server virtualization. It's been very useful."
"The setup and installation are very easy."
"The virtualization solution supports data center virtualization, network and security."
"The trace log is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very helpful in troubleshooting problems."

"The only complex area of the setup was writing the custom scripts."
"Plugins could be better utilized, as some of them do not recognize all logs."
"Maybe logs are the problem, as the database query is too slow. If you want to search something, you need time to find it."
"AlienVault needs to continue to integrate with other third-party technologies that clients want to have monitored."
"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 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."
"Different functions to customize reports should be added."
"From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made more user-friendly."
"In vRealize login files, we have limitations regarding log partitions."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved."
"The product's price falls on the higher end of the spectrum, making it an area of concern."
"They should improve their web interface to make it more user-friendly."
