USM Appliance (On-Premises)

Overall Satisfaction with AlienVault USM

Our IT department uses AlienVault to monitor traffic in and out of our environment. We use the USM to reduce our business risk in regard to known threats. I really like the fact that AlienVault is connected to the Open Threat Exchange, or OTX, to identify known threats. We then can take action based on the severity of the threat.
  • Correlating events to threats
  • Ranking severity of threats
  • The UI is simple and straightforward
  • There are many false positives
  • The licensing/renewal process is painful
  • Sometimes performance of the appliance is an issue (slowness)
AlienVault is a great product if you have one or more branches of your business that need to have an automated way to look at event data and correlate that against known threats to give your security team a quantitative way to track and respond to threats to your business.
