I've never had an outage on it, so I would rate the stability of the solution a ten out of ten. I've used it for 11 months and it has never failed.

AlienVault is a highly stable tool. The sensors go down once or twice every few months, but it's generally a stable product. It ran for us for three years with very minimal issues or concerns.

Product Stability: The biggest issue we have seen with the product is its poor stability. With way too many components, myriad integration, a ton of scripts, and the product is really unstable. Every version upgrade is a nightmare. Re-installation or Re-start is the most common solution for the product to start working again. In a mission critical environment, this is a complete NO-NO. One of the most common and frequently failing components is the DB. Issues like DB corruptions, access issues, disk errors, unresponsive queries, etc., really test the patience of end users on a regular basis. These are the most damning negatives about AV USM.
View full review »I rate AlienVault seven out of 10 for stability. Deploying AlienVault on-prem has been a challenge. The network sometimes drops, and it disconnects the sensor.

So far, I haven't seen any patches or updates from the partner or the OTX site to show any issues in terms of stability. Based on the frequency of the updates, at the moment, it seems stable.

We've had some stability problems, not a lot, but a few. Updates seem to be the worst. That seems to be when the stability problems come up.
Sensors occasionally go down during updates and don't recover. Some maintenance cycles on the cloud controller have left the system in a weird state. In addition, there are times when the product seems very slow to respond. This may be related to back-end maintenance that we are not aware of.

I encountered some stability issues only because of a lack of knowledge regarding my network equipment and because AlienVault support was also not familiar with it. As long as you follow the recommendations for system requirements, there shouldn't be any issues.

View full review »No issues with stability.
View full review »We have not.
We have a new remote sensor sending a large amount of data. We have seen some slowness but the sensor is new and we tracked down the slowness to network connectivity. The server has handled all we could throw at it.
View full review »One of the problems we had with stability was a problem of our own. We were running AV on a VLAN that students were able to run DHCP servers, which caused our own problems.
View full review »We encountered one stability issue. With the amount of log data we were sending, our sensor drives were filling up within a day or two. We had to create some cron jobs to ensure logs were rotated more frequently.

There have been no major stability issues.
Many of the patches typically have some bugs that we end up finding. We ended up implementing a deployment in our lab so as to fully test it internally, before patching.

View full review »We have encountered stability issues; we have a high volume of logs passing through our SIEM and the default configuration couldn't handle all the data. Working with support, we were able to remediate all the crashes we were having.
View full review »I had a renegade plugin that was installed by the company who helped me with the initial setup. The plugin was missing a command to rotate logs and would fill my hard drives capacity to full quickly. Fortunately AlienVault support identified the problem and reported the issue to the designers. I opted to not run that plugin anymore, and probably still will not trust it even after the rotate function is fixed.

The stability is fine.
View full review »Some minor issues here and there with updating/services not working, but AlienVault support is quick and easy to work with and will handle it.
View full review »Stability issues have been around, but I feel like AlienVault does a stand up job at responding to and fixing them.
View full review »It has great scalability options. The installation is almost click and go, but be aware, when implementing AlienVault in a big environment with a separate sensor, logger and server, it would be useful to have the necessary skills and IT knowledge. Also in-depth knowledge of your own IT is key, knowing where to position the sensors and where to pace the server is key, wrong architecture will impact performance. AlienVault can offer direct support or you can contact your local partner to assist during this process.

The solution is not stable. Sometimes the virtual machines are not working and it is not a network issue. There are many compatibility issues. There have been times when upgrading the firmware the device is not operational, you then have to restore to the older version.
