Overall Satisfaction with AlienVault USM

We use AlienVault USM across our entire organization. It was purchased to help us improve our ability to respond to cyber security threats by keeping up with patching and tracking down vulnerabilities on our network. We took these steps after paying to have penetration testing done on our network.
  • AlienVault USM helps our IT staff stay on top of patches.
  • AlientVault USM makes it easier for our IT staff to track down vulnerabilities.
  • AlienVault USM provides steps to correct any vulnerabilities that may arise.
  • AlienVault's staff were very helpful in setting up their product on our network. There was plenty of opportunity for training.
  • AlienVault USM can be cumbersome for a small IT staff to manage. We still use AlienVault USM but now pay a third party to help us manage it.
AlienVault USM, while maybe not as feature-rich as some of its competitors, was a known commodity in the SIEM space and one our company felt very comfortable with given its competitive pricing.
AlienVault USM is appropriate for companies looking to improve cyber-security without investing heavily in additional IT staff. There is a considerable learning curve associated with this product so it's worth considering letting a third party manage it for you.
