It's integrated with AMP so the ecosystem with equal solutions from Threat Grid is good with CISCO products."
"The simplicity of implementation is valuable."
"It is easy to implement and is very scalable. It also comes with very good documentation. Cisco provides good technical support as well."
"It has powerful threat detection, incident response, and compliance management."
"This solution can completely detect and prevent incidents on your network."
"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."
"Ease of deployment across various environments."
"The ease of implementation is the most valuable feature."
"The new cloud-based panel is excellent both for client review as well as for our SOC to review and respond to threats. It is much easier to configure and use than the previous solution from AlienVault."
"On any given day I could give you a different answer regarding the most valuable features of the product. The feature that is most important is the fact that it has a lot of features, that it's not just a log collection and correlation system, that it has a lot of other components built in. The bundle of features is really the killer feature."
"Reports are customized, so you can present them to executives or engineers."
"They come in and have multiple management solutions but it doesn't scan or doesn't have the ability to look at every file extension."
"I was told that the user interface could be more user friendly and easy in comparison to that of competitors. I remember that there is a competitor who has a much easier interface for many users to interact with."
"Support must be improved."
"We would like more plugins. This being the main point of improvement which would benefit the users."
"The solution already has quite good tools, however, they need better integration tools for linking with Office 365, Google Suite, and so on."
"There are many reports included but would be nice to have better access to the data."
"I've been using it just for my own personal upskilling in terms of how the product works. At the moment, it is pretty straightforward and simple, and it is working how it is supposed to. The feedback would come once it is deployed to customer sites. They'll be using it on a more frequent basis, and that's when the feedback would come in terms of the areas in which they're facing issues or are looking for simplicity."
"We've had some stability problems, not a lot, but a few. Updates seem to be the worst. That seems to be when the stability problems come up."
"AlienVault needs to continue to integrate with other third-party technologies that clients want to have monitored."
"It would be nice to see some machine learning and monitoring of the configuration in network devices."
"Different functions to customize reports should be added."
