Overall Satisfaction with AlienVault Unified Security Management

We are using AlienVault to give us a warning when malicious activity is going on in the network. I am part of the IT department, but am the only one that is using this product. When I started working towards security in the department, I noticed we did not have any SIEM. I did some research and this is what I decided would be best fit for the company.
  • I thought it was easy to install and get started
  • Adding events from other network equipment
  • Easy to manage and update
  • The training at the beginning was too simple, if you have any knowledge on a SIEM, that training was not helpful.
  • Support can be over your head at times when they are talking about things inside the system.
I personally have not used other SIEMs other than in a class room environment.
This helped us prevent a full attack of a Crypto Locker. We still had encrypted files, but not everything was. I called and had the computer unplugged ASAP.
