Overall Satisfaction with AlienVault Unified Security Management
Used by the organization, AlienVault Unified Security Management addresses log and event collection and analysis. As a bonus, it also adds vulnerability analysis, HIDS / OSSEC and other central management capabilities.
- Ease of setup - up and running very quickly. Not a ton of knobs and switches to dial in, at least initially.
- Application of updates to the platform - with lots of moving pieces, and the myriad of Linux dependencies, upgrades could be made a bit less burdensome for administrators.
- Search features - although quick and on-point, it's the actual location of search boxes that seems quirky. Maybe make the search boxes bigger or different in design?
We looked at the leaders in the space (get the Gartner info if needed), and what drew us to AlienVault was the collection of tools in the tool bag, including one not addressed by others. None of the tools we saw included the capabilities to manage (and deploy) the HIDS agent. Kudos to AlienVault for realizing this is an important step in gathering a holistic view of your endpoints!
