Overall Satisfaction with AlienVault USM

AlienVault is our SIEM tool that addresses the enterprise looking for indications of compromise. This was a finding in an internal audit a few years ago so it follows more of a compliance requirement.
  • Active Directory login requests
  • Logs on the Domain Controls
  • Only showing alerts that have a high indication of compromise and reduces false positives.
  • Trimming of log files to stay within limits
  • Projecting any future storage costs from AlienVault
AlienVault was much less expensive with less effort to install and manage.
Well suited for a small InfoSec team that has limited time to manage the tool and respond to alerts. If you have a larger team that wants more detailed data that could be used for AppDev troubleshooting then a different products is probably better.
