AlienVault is certainly not nearly as expensive as Splunk or QRadar. It's decently priced, but I don't have the exact figure.

It is affordable, and it also has many features that the premium products such as ArcSight and QRadar have. It is a very good platform for a SIEM solution. Everything is included in the price.

One of the areas where AV USM benefits is price. It is affordable while offering a whole lot of SIEM features. This turns out to be the deciding factor for small and medium enterprise segments. QRadar, ArcSight and Splunk are some of the most expensive SIEM security tools out there in the market and not everyone has the budget to buy them. In such cases, AV USM is a very cost effective alternative.

You might have to pay an additional fee to increase the number of sensors. We have five sensors, but other clients have three. I think you need to pay more to extend to four or five.

I don't recall exactly what their prices are, but they are a little more expensive than Microsoft. It really depends on what features in Microsoft you may already be using. If, for example, you're a company that has Microsoft's Defender for Endpoint and Defender for Identity, or basically any of their Defender Suite applications, you might already be paying a certain amount every month or every year for those features that the Microsoft Sentinel solution brings under one umbrella.

AlienVault also has additional fees for extra storage in the cloud.

Solutions Engineer at a computer software company with 51-200 employees

I don't know exactly, but I know it is based on the number of logs and the retention duration, such as 30 days or something like that. So, the smallest package is about 500 a month for 30 days of logs.

There is a virtual machine. You need resources for it. It is a log collecting VM. They provide the software, and you just have to load a virtual machine. So, you're going to incur some CPU RAM and storage for wherever this log collecting appliance is running, which typically is in our cloud and on our platform for the customer.

When compared to other solutions such as Splunk, LogRhythm, and IBM Security QRadar, AT&T AlienVault USM is a reasonably priced option that is also relatively inexpensive.

The pricing for this solution with the 3 major components: SIEM, FIM, and vulnerability scanning, can’t be beat. There are other systems that are way more robust, but way more complicates and way more expensive. This solution was perfect for us.

Cost is very competitive and if your log ingestion is not huge, then you can get a SIEM for a small budget; AlienVault listen well to customers and work with you on the needs of your business.

Have a look at how AlienVault does Events Per Second (EPS) compared to others. Most other products charge based on EPS, the more events the more you have to pay. This causes most companies to limit the amount of logs sent and processed. AlienVault charges by the number of devices managed. You can send anything and everything to the USM. The more logs you can process the better correlation you will have. I have found that companies that limit their logs and then have a security incident would have been able to identify the attack if they would have been monitoring all events in their logs.

In comparison to the competition, it's a very inexpensive option, whether you use the cloud or the on-premises deployment models. You also get great value for money as you do get a lot of very good tools that come standard with the solution as well.

TS
Consultant at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

The pricing is a good value and makes sense.

The key thing is that for the new product, the licensing of it is subscription-based and it's based on data. Clients need to be really careful when thinking about that, because odds are they're going to need to put a lot more data into it than what they initially estimate, which is going to drive their subscription costs up.

I do have concerns that if a payment is delayed or if there is any dispute about billing, that all of our data is held in the cloud and could be lost.

I don't think the product's pricing is a good value because they try to raise the price 50 percent every year. If they do that again I won't be a customer, going forward. Their sales team is way too aggressive. The price they advertise is not always the price you get.

In terms of licensing, AlienVault needs to understand that not all customers are huge enterprises. They don't seem to understand that.

Pricing was a very important consideration and lower than the other SIEM solutions evaluated. The price point makes it accessible for SMB organizations that may be constrained of resources (budget and people/skills) so deployment can be gradual while still deriving value out of the solution.

Unless you have a small network, you really need the unlimited endpoint license, which is the most expensive option. Best to negotiate to get this version, otherwise scalability will be an issue (unless your total number of endpoints in under approx. 100).

We chose AlienVault partly do the the many features and functionalities that was bundled with the product to the pricing and licensing models that was offered. Many other solutions did not have the full spectrum of features but was significantly more expensive so we would have been forced to get additional solutions to cover all our requirements. With AlienVault we got a all-in-one solution that covered our needs.
