Overall Satisfaction with AlienVault USM
We are using AlienVault Unified Security Management for AWS to meet our PCI compliance for Intrusion detection, vulnerability scans, and problems that might occur. It is being used for all our servers that fall within PCI compliance. It addresses the problem of finding a product that can easily interface with Amazon's AWS servers and load balancers.
- Once your Instances are set up to log to CloudWatch, setup is extremely easy in USM interface.
- USM for AWS is great at logging every kind of event that Windows servers log.
- USM for AWS facilitates user management to provide access to events for different user levels.
- USM for AWS is very slow to load. It can take up to 2 minutes to load some of the pages.
- Alarms need email notification.
- The interface caches information forcing the user to hard refresh their browser every time they want to wait.
- AWS for USM hides assets sometimes making it difficult to see what is being tracked.
AWS for USM is the first intrusion detection system and vulnerability scan software tool we have used.
