Overall Satisfaction with AlienVault USM

Alienvault was selected as our SIEM solution to provide cutting-edge monitoring, analytics and alerting, and it has the added benefit of being able to conduct vulnerability assessments and provide endpoint detection and response. There is a lot of noise when deploying any SIEM solution, but Alienvault is unique in that it can be effective, practically right out-of-the-box, and anything required beyond that is satisfied by their great support team and available training. I have found that USM Anywhere can fill a critical gap in your security program, and I would recommend it for both small, medium, and large businesses.

Pros

  • Anomaly Detection and Identification
  • Digital Forensics/Incident Response
  • Log Correlation and Built-in Attack Signatures
  • Cloud Security Monitoring

Cons

  • Would be nice to have better error messaging, specifically around credential failures.
If you have a new, small company that needs effective monitoring and alerting right out of the box, I would say that AV has a lot less deployment and overhead than many SIEM solutions. That said, it can scale quite well and is particularly nice to operate when dealing with cloud infrastructure.
