Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It allows you to define what alerts you want to see, or not to see, as well as if you want them grouped, or ungrouped."
"The dashboards are very descriptive and contain just the right amount of information. The activity alarms and events contain a plethora of data that is very descriptive and useful."
"The best thing about AlienVault USM is it being a “Jack-of-All Trades” solution. It provides SIEM, HIDS/NIDS, FIM, NetFlow, Asset Management, Vulnerability Management, etc., under one USM platform. None of the commercial SIEM vendors like ArcSight, McAfee, etc., can boast of such a diverse feature set."
"The setup is very easy and straightforward."
"Our main focus was intrusion detection, alerts, and correlation. It's easy to use AlienVault and integrate it with other alert tools because it includes lots of connectors. Either the tool is already there, or AlienVault will write an API for us if they don't have a connector for the solution that is providing the logs."
"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."
"Vulnerability scanning helped out shortcomings of what was not patched in the past and what needed to be patched. This assisted with fine tuning the environment for compliance."
"It allows for a lot of out-of-the-box features: vuln scanning, HIDS/HIPS, and IDS."
"It allows us to gain a comprehensive overview of our infrastructure."
"We use the on-premises version of this solution for log analysis and to find details about certain issues."
"Log Insight correlates with the VMware product log. It can assemble the logs you want, making it easier to find the output, incident, or keyword you want to search."
"The events are notably more descriptive, aiding in security and event analysis. We've also integrated Sky Collector, providing valuable insights and solutions for troubleshooting."
"The trace log is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very helpful in troubleshooting problems."
"The interface of the solution is good."
"The setup and installation are very easy."
"It is very scalable and can handle a large workload."
"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."
"Plugins could be better utilized, as some of them do not recognize all logs."
"There are many reports included but would be nice to have better access to the data."
"The solution already has quite good tools, however, they need better integration tools for linking with Office 365, Google Suite, and so on."
"Pay attention to false-positive event automatic correlations."
"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."
"It should be able to communicate with other security solutions to stop threats."
"This solution could be easier to use."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved."
"I would like to see more tutorials or at least an introduction video from the supplier, so you can become proficient and get the most out of the solution. You might not get the full benefit from a logging or reporting solution because you might not have a particular tool enabled. You could leave something out of your analysis because you aren't aware of it or you don't know how to set it up."
"In the VMware environment, one area for improvement is the handling of VM failovers due to host failures, such as unexpected shutdowns from hardware issues. Currently, High Availability (HA) doesn't seem to recognize whether the VMs are online during failover, treating them as offline or unavailable."
"They should improve their web interface to make it more user-friendly."
"In vRealize login files, we have limitations regarding log partitions."
"Technical support should be improved."
"The solution should be more user-friendly. The user interface and dashboard could be simplified."
"Log Insight should be better at dealing with audits and security logs. We use another product called QRadar for that."
