Overall Satisfaction with AlienVault USM

AlienVault USM has helped us gain great insights into our operations, as well as the way our users utilize our environment. It is simple to track complex issues, and quite convenient to have a single interface to do so. Management has been pleased with the internal reports we've created using AlienVault, and it has become a critical part of our environment in a short amount of time. The security, alerting, and logging have allowed us to grow as an organization without worrying about whether or not we are secure and up-to-date. This is a fantastic product, and while initially a hard sell due to the price, has proven its worth over the year or so we've used it. I love being able to say to management "yes, I can get you that information" knowing full well that I will be able to, in an easy and timely fashion.
  • SIEM - logging. AlienVault is easy to configure on the client side, and with a couple scripts, makes deployment a piece of cake.
  • Vulnerability scanning. AlienVault helps us track which systems are most vulnerable to security issues so we can prioritize patching.
  • Reporting. AlienVault generates useful and attractive reports.
  • Some of the documentation could be improved and go more into depth, but support is helpful when the documentation falls short.
Another colleague had previous experience with AlienVault and recommended them. We looked into some other options at the beginning but nothing really stacked up in terms of features and price.
AlienVault is suitable for any company with more than a few servers or services. Keeping track of updates, vulnerabilities, logs, etc., can be very time consuming and frustrating, and AlienVault takes care of this in a very clear and concise way. It is easy to use and "just works".
