"This solution can completely detect and prevent incidents on your network."
"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."
"Easy to use, scalable, stable, and very intuitive platform that provides protection against security threats."
"I can easily check (in one place) all the logs and data in relation to attacks. It also gives me an overview if a server is not configured properly."
"SIEM log collection is great, and all of the rules that support updates with maintenance."
"Its powerful correlation engine helps reduce time in manually correlating events."
"Using the communication within the security device, it is easier to create plugins."
"Asset discovery seems to be good."
"It could be more stable."
"It is difficult to estimate in advance how much something is going to cost."
"The logging functionality could be better."
"While we are satisfied with the overall performance, in certain cases we must add additional metrics and additional tools like Grafana and Dynatrace."
"If I want to track any round-trip or breakdowns of my response times, I'm not able to get it. My request goes through various levels of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and comes back to my client machine. Suppose that my request has taken 10 seconds overall, so if I want to break it down, to see where the delay is happening within my architecture, I am not able to find that out using Stackdriver."
"It could be even more automated."
"Lacking sufficient operations documentation."
"The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."
More Google Cloud's operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) Cons →
"As this software is in the cloud, you do not have control on updates and general changes which are happening."
"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."
"Their threat intelligence platform needs to be broadened. They should integrate it with more threat intelligence platforms. For the threat feed that they get from open intelligence, I would like them to add a few premium threat intelligence platforms. They can provide a bundle in which AlienVault has the threat intelligence background of other premium products."
"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."
"In the future, I would like to see all these features of the solution working properly."
"Adding a parsing interface for the customers would make AT&T AlienVault USM better."
"AlienVault needs to continue to integrate with other third-party technologies that clients want to have monitored."
"The solution already has quite good tools, however, they need better integration tools for linking with Office 365, Google Suite, and so on."
