"The logs play a crucial role as they contribute to blocking unwanted Internet traffic."
"The most valuable feature is alerting."
"The feature that I like best is the dashboard."
"I am impressed with the tool's integration of Palo Alto products which serves as a platform for security."
"We had used previous products and found AlienVault centralized the logging for our security."
"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."
"AlienVault has an advanced component within one package. With this, we can cover more area with one solution."
"The AlienVault solution has enabled us to create a SOC on a budget with smaller than usual staff requirements, offering a wider range of solutions for our customers."
"It has streamlined log aggregation and analysis to meet organizational and regulatory needs."
"The vulnerability manager and the file integration are very good."
"It allows for a lot of out-of-the-box features: vuln scanning, HIDS/HIPS, and IDS."
"Easy to use, scalable, stable, and very intuitive platform that provides protection against security threats."
"It would be helpful to have better documentation for configuring and installing the solution."
"It would be better if they used the threat intelligence feeds directly from their side and changing the verdict instead of us requesting it."
"It is a completely cloud-based product at present."
"I would like to have more technical documentation that contains greater detail on the types of threats that are occurring."
"I would like the tool to see more integration with Cortex XDR. There is no real reason to keep them separate."
"I think plugin management should be self-service on AlienVault USM. The other product is self-service but on the USM side. You have to submit a ticket then AT&T creates and updates the plugins."
"The reporting aspect could be improved. While there are a lot of different options available, there are still pieces which are missing."
"The vulnerability reporting needs to have options to be able to sort or customize the output."
"AlienVault cannot automatically respond to threats like other SIEM solutions, such as Sentinel and LogRhythm. Most of our clients are far away, so it's often challenging to handle alerts when they come up on our dashboard."
"The reporting is mediocre and is something that needs to be improved."
"The only complex area of the setup was writing the custom scripts."
"It would be nice to see some machine learning and monitoring of the configuration in network devices."
"Support can be slow at times, but the quality is high. Posted knowledge base articles could use improvement."
