"Having everything in a central place has been helpful."
"It brought our logs into one place for review and set up alarms based on changes we were missing due to lack of having one place for everything to go."
"In terms of monitoring, my best feature would be the monitoring of components across the network. It monitors the respective nodes and any new node that comes onto the network and provides reports. The reporting dashboards are really helpful for management in terms of making decisions around patch management."
"We are able to get alerts perfectly with FIM and VA features."
"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."
"AlientVault has helped us in improving our visualization and incident response during cybersecurity situations."
"The best feature of this product is the ease of use. It is extremely easy to set up and get going. This is a very useful tool for a small organization."
"It allows us to gain a comprehensive overview of our infrastructure."
"The system's management and its alerts are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"Our current costs are too high, and this tool will help us to better optimize our infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is server virtualization. It's been very useful."
"The trace log is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very helpful in troubleshooting problems."
"What I like is that you can have different storage locations for different applications."
"The tool helps my company deal with security and log analysis, which are very important areas for us...It is a scalable solution."
"It is a highly stable solution...It is a highly scalable solution."
"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."
"It was easy on PoC, but when we got to the product it was different story. We had to learn the product again and got feeling that the PoC was a different product."
"Adding a parsing interface for the customers would make AT&T AlienVault USM better."
"The reporting tools are a bit lacking for building reports to give directly to customers, but support has been helpful in giving our requests for new features to the development team and following up with us."
"In the future, I would like to see all these features of the solution working properly."
"I want to see more compliance management capability. The quality of integrations seems to be a little bit low."
"It would be hard for any legitimate MSSP to use it."
"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."
"The product's price falls on the higher end of the spectrum, making it an area of concern."
"From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made more user-friendly."
"Log retention should have more options for user control."
"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."
"It's great for VMware, but it would be good if they had third-party logins."
"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."
"I think that it should be able to integrate with other third-party backup and recovery solutions, more that it does now."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved."
