Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The security aspects in general have been very useful to use.""There's a whole spectrum of features on the solution that users can take advantage of. It's a very robust product."

More Elastic Beats Pros →

"We had used previous products and found AlienVault centralized the logging for our security.""Easy to use, scalable, stable, and very intuitive platform that provides protection against security threats.""The other big selling feature for us was its integration capabilities with all the other security-based products.""As we have to service several servers, we can manage them in a economical way, which is beneficial to our team and business.""The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of deployment that it provides to users. The integrations that the product has with third-party applications are useful.""The most valuable feature is vulnerability management because it gives you insight into your environment to know what systems need to be updated or patched.""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.""Asset discovery seems to be good."

Cons
"At some level, the documentation, the information as far as the components, it's sometimes a little difficult to find the information necessary to implement aspects.""The dashboard is not user-friendly. The solution, in general, isn't great from a user's perspective."

More Elastic Beats Cons →

"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.""In the future, I would like to see all these features of the solution working properly.""USM Anywhere relies a lot on the community putting the data in. Often, you'll right-click on the attack, but nothing will be found. That's a weakness of it.""The one thing I continue to dislike about the USM is the limitation on reports.""AlienVault needs to continue to integrate with other third-party technologies that clients want to have monitored.""The reporting is mediocre and is something that needs to be improved.""The price of AT&T AlienVault USM could be reduced.""It should be able to communicate with other security solutions to stop threats."
