Overall Satisfaction with AlienVault Unified Security Management

AlienVault Unified Security Management is used in PGCPS for security management, log management, IDP, etc., for the whole organization. It addresses state audit findings.
  • IDP
  • Alien Vaut is excellent. We just have 10G worth of traffic at some times of the year and growing. The best appliance though with a 10G NIC can do a best of 5G. This causes some complications on splitting up traffic to meet needs of the appliance.
  • Would like to increase the number of events to keep in the database and archive, to keep more history. We are huge enterprise.
The biggest thing is the cost for K-12 education. We are 17th largest school system and require the functionality but cannot afford a product that cost millions.
AlienVault Unified Security Management is well suited for what are needs are. Though it takes a while, like all other SIEMs, to learn the traffic mix.
