Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Datadog, Wazuh and others in Log Management."The solution's most valuable aspect is that it can be fully integrated with Microsoft solutions and it doesn't impact the productivity order."
"We are able to get alerts perfectly with FIM and VA features."
"The USM is a work horse, no matter what devices or the number of logs we throw at it, the system processes them in real time, correlates the events, and alerts on only events that need human review."
"Easy to use, scalable, stable, and very intuitive platform that provides protection against security threats."
"AT&T AlienVault USM is good for ELK Stack, the user experience is great because of its architecture. The ELK has a great performance and it has very good speed in the search and Kibana. Additionally, the visuals and dashboards and very nice and customizable."
"Every activity on the firewall is recorded, and notifications are sent with this solution."
"The most valuable feature in AT&T AlienVault USM is the reporting."
"Log-monitoring and alerting enable us to know when things happen that we need to know about."
"What I find the most valuable about USM Anywhere is its compliance. It shows a list of all the administrators logged on and does it quite well. There are no whistles and bells, it's reliable and simple to use."
"The pricing could be improved. It needs to be reduced."
"The UI and overall processes need a little bit more love. This shows in the error banners that come up when you select certain things. There isn't a day that goes by that the UI doesn't error out and I can't view events for an alarm."
"For creating new rules, you have to be familiar with regular expressions. I feel there could be something built-in to make sure that process is easier."
"More complimentary training needs to be done for use with this tool. If you get into a bind, then it will cost you."
"Search performance can be slow. The Raw Logs feature is painfully slow. And if we're talking about the newer, the Anywhere product, you can't even schedule reports on the thing. There are probably a dozen other features I'd really like to see there, but that would be one of the biggies."
"There are many reports included but would be nice to have better access to the data."
"It should be able to communicate with other security solutions to stop threats."
"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."
"One area that has room for improvement is storage. AllienVault is a good place to put logs, but sometimes it's a tough place to go get logs... The logger can only hold so much data. If they improved that, that would help."
