USM Anywhere Customer Service and Support

PB
Senior Security Information Manager at agiito

I've never had the chance to contact technical support. The service call costs money and I would need to get permission from my director first.

Lead IT Security and Remediation at ARM Ltd

The partner that we liaised with during deployment manages any issues. We raise a ticket, push it to them, and work together on Zoom to fix it. Sometimes I handle the issues myself, but if I can't handle it, I push it to the partners. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.

We don't reach out to technical support from AT&T AlienVault USM. We go through our third-party provider. They are the ones who we reach out for technical support. We only reach out to the MSP.

VS
Manager, Enterprise Risk Consulting at a tech company with 1,001-5,000 employees

One of the common issues we hear about AV technical support is that it is of inconsistent and poor quality. Most of the time, the solutions rely on re-install, re-start, or a bug-fix. There are way too many components to troubleshoot. This leaves support to resort to re-install or re-start, without thorough root cause analysis.

It is pretty good. I usually don't contact their support. I usually contact their sales team. I work with their pre-sales and sales engineer and account rep.

Manager, Security Operation Center at Ideal Integrations

Eh. Our experiences have been very mixed. If you get someone who is motivated to help, expect to be good to go. Otherwise, expect the problem not to get a good priority, and it may even get dragged out to a conclusion.

DO
Principal DevOps Engineer at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees

Technical support has been okay. It hasn't been great. On a scale of one to 10 scale, I'd say maybe a six. It took them a long time to respond to some of our questions, and we didn't get the complete responses we were expecting. In some cases, the process took so long that the question's urgency diminished by the time we could get to an answer.

We have an account manager located in the UK who helps in getting the right technical person for emergencies. There is standard technical support through tickets. In general, they are pretty quick to respond and some of the enhancements are handled by their backend team for feature enrichment.

Francis Silva - PeerSpot reviewer
Coordinator de Servicios  at MAINT

We don't deal with the support team for AT&T AlienVault USM, in terms of big issues, but in terms of them answering a question, or giving information about design specs, their response is good. Their response is correct, so we have no problem with the support for this solution.

From one to five, where one is bad and five is good, I'm rating their support a four.

SK
Director of Department at BAKOTECH LLC

Technical support has always been quite good. With the product itself, we haven't personally had any issues. However, a lot of times our customers or engineers contact AlienVault support with a request to help to start a new correlation rule, integration, or other issues. When that happens, support always answers and gives them all the details they need.

JT
Owner at ThatsIT Consultants

I have not been in touch with their technical support. I deal with the technical account manager. When I read up the information and there is something that I'm not sure about, I check my resources and see what's available online. If none of the available resources are helpful, I reach out to my account manager who then puts me in touch with the technical team. I presume that if we encounter any issues in deployment, it would be based on a customer's demography or the setup.

Technical support is very helpful. They know their product. The one person I used was very responsive. He actually called me, checked in with me, to make sure the issue we did once have was fixed, and that I was satisfied. I really appreciated his perseverance.

It would help if they knew more about different network hardware. I realize that there are so many different types that it is next to impossible to know all network equipment and its compatibility with their product.

When issues arise and the going gets tough, you can contact AlienVault directly via phone, email or web. Support is covered via the license and in our experience the technical guys (and girls) know their stuff. Real serious problems are solved via a remote VPN connection (build in the software), and the product has really improved regarding stability.
