Overall Satisfaction with AlienVault USM

AlienVault is being used across our entire organization. It captures all data from all sources. Once the data is in AlienVault, we leverage the directives to provide us with a "single pane of glass" in order to view all alarms throughout the organization.
  • Provides an easy to read alarm page
  • Ticketing system to provide extra comments on alarms
  • Robust community that is willing to help
  • Excluding items on an asset scan
  • More reactive than proactive
  • Emails can only be sent by the user who created the email
  • SNORT
AlienVault was what we had used for years, and felt comfortable using it, along with how it was rated in the world.
AlienVault is great at collecting and storing logs. If you couple this with a behavioral monitor device then you start to build a stronger network to monitor everything.

AlienVault USM Implementation

Engaging professional services is REQUIRED. Configuring without them would be impossible. I would have given a 10 but I still encounter "bugs" that the system allowed to happen.
