Senior Network Architect / Network Team Leader at ICE Consulting. Inc.
Threat detection, incident response, and compliance management in an all-in-one solution
What is our primary use case?
We were trying to get into the security market to be able to offer something to our clients who are asking for a monitoring event management system. We started looking at what we could offer as an MSP to our clients; that's what drove us into evaluating different SIEM products, to get a better understanding of how the billing is set up as a partner. Alien Vault had the best set up for MSPs — the way they are set up for billing and the way they set up their USM account.Pros and Cons
- "The other big selling feature for us was its integration capabilities with all the other security-based products."
- "I'd like to see a dashboard that's a little more descriptive."
What other advice do I have?
Most of our clients are small to medium-sized businesses; they can't afford to go out and purchase a SIEM on their own. They're looking for us to provide something for them. This was why we provide HCZ cybersecurity and Alien Vault, etc. If you're in an MSP and you're servicing small to medium-sized clients, this is definitely a product that you want to look at and evaluate. When we were doing our evaluations, we were looking at the applications that are supported out-of-the-box, without having to develop any special ATIs — we wanted a pre-built application that supported most of the…

Good compliance, lots of useful features, and easy to scale
What is our primary use case?
We have three main uses for the solution. They are compliance, incident response, and as a tool for information security.Pros and Cons
- "There are multiple tools for information security. The solution includes all the latest advances on the network and host intrusion detection systems."
- "The solution already has quite good tools, however, they need better integration tools for linking with Office 365, Google Suite, and so on."
What other advice do I have?
We're not using the solution ourselves. We're resellers. USM Anywhere is cloud-based, although they have a different version that is on-premises or on a private cloud called the USM Appliance. We're using the on-premises version, which is quite different from the cloud version. Overall, I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. There are a few areas where they can improve, however, overall, it's been a very good product for us and our customers. We'd recommend the solution. We've looked into other options and we always come back to this product.

Solutions Architect - Team Lead at a computer software company with self employed
Easy setup with great security information management and very stable
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for cybersecurity events and management.Pros and Cons
- "The setup is very easy and straightforward."
- "The solution is a bit complicated. It could be simplified quite a bit."
What other advice do I have?
We use both on-premises and cloud deployment models. We both use the solution and sell the solution as well. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would rate the solution at an eight. We're more focused on servicing medium to small businesses. This solution may not be suitable for a large enterprise-level organization. That said, we highly recommend it. I'd recommend that new users decide to first go for the trial. Take the trial and then make sure that you like it before investing in the subscription. The company offers a free trial - you might as well use it.reviewer1246743

What other advice do I have?
My advice for anybody who is considering this product is to evaluate all of the options that are out there. There is no one, great answer, so you have to figure out what best fits your needs. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.SOCmgr67

Easy to deploy and flexible enough to create your own plugins
What is our primary use case?
The primary use cases for this solution are log management, security events correlation, and any other enterprise use cases for SIEM (new plugins development, correlation rules development, risk assessment, and asset management).Pros and Cons
- "This solution can identify many threats inside the organization (compromised endpoints, configuration issues), as well as "outside" threats (botnets, network scanners, web-attacks, etc)."
- "It would be nice to see some machine learning and monitoring of the configuration in network devices."

The vulnerability scanner keeps our environment always updated about security threats
What is our primary use case?
Our initial need which brought us to acquire this solution was to be in compliance with GDPR requirements. Our environment is cloud-based (specifically AWS).How has it helped my organization?
Beyond provided us with an IDS as was our initial need, but AlienVault gave us more useful resources, as SIEM, and as a vulnerability scanner (the last, one of my favourite resources).What is most valuable?
My favourite one is the vulnerability scanner because while using it, our environment is always updated about security threats.What needs improvement?
Taking into account that server access credentials are controlled by the tool, some more management-focused actions could be performed from AlienVault.For how long have I used the solution?
