Overall Satisfaction with AlienVault USM
AlienVault USM recently rolled out in our environment, and it is currently used only in the IT department. Further staging is in progress and will be deployed across the rest of the business. AlienVault is our standard security operation tool solely used for security monitoring purposes for the detection of threats, intrusion detection, vulnerabilities etc.
- Vulnerability reporting - This gives administrators a holistic view of persisting threat before going for a vulnerability scan.
- Visibility to multiple devices and environments - Firewalls, Windows Servers, AWS, Azure, etc.
- No mobile application - most of the competitors have a mobile application, which gives administrator flexibility over the weekend.
- Need more features in terms of alerting.
- There is a lag in Alienvault updating the log results to the dashboard and sometimes the filters won't work as expected.
- Many false positives.
It was a business decision prior to my employment here and I was not involved in the purchase.
