Overall Satisfaction with AlienVault USM

We use AlienVault for vulnerability scanning, net-flow/Sflow, log aggregation and management, and asset listings.
  • Log management
  • Vulnerability scanning
  • Net-flow
  • Behavioral analysis
  • Database maintenance
  • Faster log searches
NeXpose was fine. Tripwire did not have as intuitive of a user interface, Splunk was too expensive. AlienVault was able to perform more functionality than these listed and then some. The only thing NeXPose has over AlienVault was better reporting for vulnerabilities and a better GUI for the product.
[It's well suited for an] enterprise requiring vulnerability scanning, network behavioral analysis, a central alerting system, ability to customize log retention and reporting through the use of regex and net-flow analysis.
