Overall Satisfaction with AlienVault USM

We use AlienVault USM to satisfy PCI DSS requirements. Namely event logging and audit, change audit, and Intrusion Prevention services.
  • Lots of built-in out of the box functionality.
  • Easily satisfies several PCI DSS requirements.
  • Event logging is easy to navigate and presented well.
  • Initial setup is quite tedious.
  • Network setup for IDS caused us to bring our network down a couple of times.
  • Reports aren't very good.
AlienVault USM is good for meeting PCI DSS requirements but is not very appropriate if you need only bits and pieces from the application. It's good for bigger companies, although the cost may scare off smaller businesses.
