Overall Satisfaction with AlienVault USM
AlienVault USM is use throughout our organization. It was put in place to resolve two issues. One was for vulnerability scans for audit compliance. It was also used for monitoring critical systems in our network. We also use to to parse syslog and other logging. An added bonus was the ability to track AD changes.
The vulnerability scans are the best bar none that we tested. The monitoring is great too, however the only thing we found lacking was hard drive monitoring, we had to put another solution in place for that, however that was 6 months ago, so things may have changed.

- Range or product sizes to fit any size of organization
- Hard drive monitoring
- Slightly higher learning curve
- LogRhythm, SolarWinds Log & Event Manager and Splunk Enterprise
AlienVault was the only product that spoke to all our needs for log management, vulnerability scans and system monitoring. AlienVault impressed with their knowledge of the security landscape and was able to answer every question to satisfaction.
All other competitors could do one of the requirements as well, however we really lacking in at least one for the 3 requirements.
