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."OTX is a great module that lets staff maintain and monitor updates regarding events in the infrastructure and takes decision to improve the security perimeter."
"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."
"It has allowed us to see what is happening on our servers."
"SIEM log collection is great, and all of the rules that support updates with maintenance."
"It allows for a lot of out-of-the-box features: vuln scanning, HIDS/HIPS, and IDS."
"The asset management of nodes has been a large help in terms of being able to track applications with more detail and have changes made being monitored into one source."
"It allows you to define what alerts you want to see, or not to see, as well as if you want them grouped, or ungrouped."
"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."
"Our current costs are too high, and this tool will help us to better optimize our infrastructure."
"The system's management and its alerts are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"It is a highly stable solution...It is a highly scalable solution."
"We use the on-premises version of this solution for log analysis and to find details about certain issues."
"One of the most valuable features of vRealize Log Insight is that it gives you a clear forecast about your existing machines, for example, how long your machines could be supported and how long the remaining capacity is to host your machines. This is one of the best options available within vRealize Log Insight. Another valuable feature of the solution is automation. My company deploys a lot of automation when required in a very, very short period, and in a very uniform manner, and even if the automation is being deployed for different processes and departments, it's pretty much the same across the environment, so vRealize Log Insight helps reduce a lot of ambiguities and helps my company manage operational efficiencies well."
"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."
"What I like is that you can have different storage locations for different applications."
"The tool helps my company deal with security and log analysis, which are very important areas for us...It is a scalable solution."
"Different functions to customize reports should be added."
"We develop additional rules and scripts to make it more usable."
"The vulnerability reporting needs to have options to be able to sort or customize the output."
"I feel that some areas of improvement would be vulnerability scanning. We use a separate product that seems to do a much better job."
"I'd like to see a dashboard that's a little more descriptive."
"The vulnerability scanning feature is one of the areas where the product has certain shortcomings and needs to improve. The tool has vulnerability scanning, but it is not that efficient."
"AlienVault must improve their correlation feature. Some of the events do not match with the correlation rules and some of the correlation events are false-positive."
"More complimentary training needs to be done for use with this tool. If you get into a bind, then it will cost you."
"The tool is expensive."
"I would like to see more tutorials or at least an introduction video from the supplier, so you can become proficient and get the most out of the solution. You might not get the full benefit from a logging or reporting solution because you might not have a particular tool enabled. You could leave something out of your analysis because you aren't aware of it or you don't know how to set it up."
"In the VMware environment, one area for improvement is the handling of VM failovers due to host failures, such as unexpected shutdowns from hardware issues. Currently, High Availability (HA) doesn't seem to recognize whether the VMs are online during failover, treating them as offline or unavailable."
"The product's price falls on the higher end of the spectrum, making it an area of concern."
"It needs better integration with third-party analytics tools."
"The dashboard needs to be improved because this is what I need to monitor my infrastructure."
"It's great for VMware, but it would be good if they had third-party logins."
"The solution isn't user-friendly for admins."
