Chose AlienVault USM
I have used Splunk before, and they are both good products. I generally like AlienVault more than Splunk, and one of the main reason is cost. For medium-sized managed service providers, cost is a big thing, and justifying that cost to customers is a hard thing to do. I also …
I have used Splunk before and it is also a good product. I feel that AlienVault has a lower learning curve and is easier to setup and query. I would liken the comparison to Splunk is like using command line for setup and normalization where as AlienVault would be using a GUI …
As a SIEM, USM is easier and more user friendly than Splunk. however, Splunk isn't only geared for security. As a network engineering tool, USM isn't a good fit. We use both. Nessus is a great vulnerability scanning tool. But it does not serve the wider purpose of USM, which is …
Splunk's ES is a paid add-on on top of an already pricey product. Finding a MSSP that supports Splunk and isn't a 6 figure annual commitment seems unlikely.
LogRhythm did not have a cloud-based solution when we were considering SIEMs. Fantastic product though and have a good …
We looked at Splunk and compared it to AlienVault USM,but their offerings weren't as friendly both in implementation and pricing. One of the biggest pluses of AlienVault USM is the offering of an on-premise virtual appliance. We are still a shop where we like to be hands-on …
I evaluated Splunk in the past but found the interface and work required to build queries and manage alerting was more work than I was willing to take on. I didn't like having to learn another language just to search for what I wanted. Through a managed service provider I also …
AlienVault was given to us, even though we already had Secureworks. Both SecureWorks and Fireye are more of a Managed solution. It's fine to say we'll use AlienVault but it requires a lot of expertise to get it running and alerting correctly. And even then, if no one is …
AlienVault appears to do what it is expected to do. The software captures potential intruders, provides aggregated and non-aggregated logs, provides interesting information on threats, and does vulnerability detection. The software appears to do just as good or better job as …
AlienVault provides a much simpler implementation than Zabbix but of course the cost is much lower. While both do a good job, AlienVault USM does the best for vulnerability scanning and reporting but Zabbix excels much better with integration with Splunk for alerting.
We already had familiarity with the platform but we needed cloud support so we upgraded to USM. We reviewed a few other options but decided USM was the best fit our requirements and price point.
The tools reviewed were quite sophisticated. The reason for choosing AlienVault USM was mainly inclusiveness (multiple services integrated) of the solution as well as the cost-benefit ratio. Integrating the solution into our current infrastructure also appeared relatively …
Compared to the main competitor's products, the AlienVault USM is particularly good in terms of cost effectiveness. Your company does not need to spend a huge amount of money in the first place just to test out the result. By using AlienVault USM, you can also get great support …
AlienVault was able to provide the same basic functionalities as the other competitors. Open Threat Exchange is a really good feature, and the fact that it came with intrusion detection was a huge plus and key part of why we purchased.
Balancing what each product had to offer, the grade of difficulty of implementation and the investment it represented for our company AlienVault came out as the better option for our infrastructure.
The tool works well compared with the two others. As I said previously, AlienVault USM gives you a lot of visibility right out of the box and with very little configuration.
However, I like the ability to customize pieces, such as log parsers and dashboards, as I see fit without …
Alienvault was the most aggressive in their pricing and marketing of ease of deployment. The ease of deployment was what really aided in their ability to win our business. The ROI was worth the investment for our security at the time. Also being a market leader aided in our …
AlienVault seems to have a better UI and easier integration than the rest of the products. The price was slightly lower and had more features/easier integrations with external components. Overall AlienVault was selected based on the SOC 2 requirements we needed to fill. When …
