Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using AlienVault as a SIEM, Log Manager, FIM, and Vulnerablility Management tool. It is used across the whole organization. We need to be HIPAA compliant, so it addresses the need for a log manager, vulnerability scanner, policy report generator, and FIM.

Pros and Cons

log management
vulnerability management
correlation alerts

Policy Reports

Alternatives Considered

Qualys Cloud Platform (formerly Qualysguard) and Alert Logic Log Correlation and Analysis

AlienVault is much easier to implement and configure that Alert Logic. It is a huge plus that you can schedule scans. You are not able to schedule scans in Qualys.

Likelihood to Recommend

Where people need multiple tools, but would prefer using one vendor.
