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 …
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 …
I researched Splunk, AlienVault USM, and two other competitors, but the first two were the only ones seriously considered. AlienVault USM was able to offer better pricing and consummate a deal faster than Splunk. Splunk just could not get their act together to close the deal. …
I’ve found AlienVault to be the cheaper, simpler winner in the space, but their platform leaves a lot to be desired (though I still haven’t found anything better).
AlienVault was the cheapest solution compared with the competition and had similar or better features. Also, the SaaS based solution made it easy to deploy the solution without the need to maintain additional servers on premise. It was very easy to use and had a great UI which …
For baseline functionality and simplicity in deployment, we chose USM over other commercial or open source technologies in the same arena. When compared against other tooling like Rapid7 or Splunk, the cost for the ingestion load we were seeing on a monthly basis was best with …
In our initial search for a SIEM solution, we evaluated many companies including Splunk. Splunk is one of the best SIEM solutions on the market. The reason that we chose to not use them is because they are built for much larger organizations than ours. The cost was very out …
We found AlienVault to best suit our environment and provide the level of detail that we needed to not only secure our environment but to help us prepare for IT asset audits. It has VMWare, O365, and Meraki integrations which we use in our office and we required software that …
Splunk does a good job, but the configuration was very complex and we have concerns about customization. In addition, the cost per GB of data made the solution excessively expensive. The cost of AlienVault USM is more in-line with what we are able to spend on a SIEM solution.
AlienVault solution has a very complete set of functionalities. At the time we elected, their price was well positioned but in the last year this changed drastically.
For us, AlienVault was better than Splunk in many ways. One of them was that AlienVault includes an easier interface and better alert rules. In the case of FortiSIEM, the cost of AlienVault was more competitive, and we were already using OSSEC, so the connection between …
IBM QRadar - long and clunky installation process, after which we weren't blown away by the tired and over-complicated user interface - wasn't a good fit for us. InsightIDR - disappointing engagement with their sales team, who weren't able to answer surface-level questions about …
They are similar in concept and operation. AlienVault USM platform feels a little more search friendly than the competition. Threat dashboard within AlienVault USM is much more consumable in the initial days of release and has a much more user friendly feel to it versus others. …
For us it came down to cost. AlienVault's competitors just could not compare on cost for a small organization like us. They are out of touch. Everyone needs a solid tool like AlienVault, but too often the industry only caters to big budgets. More often than not, that results in …
