Overall Satisfaction with AlienVault USM

We use it as our SIEM, HIDs and FIM solution for our cloud environment. It ties many of our security controls into one platform.
  • SIEM solution for security logs and incident reporting. Great audit trail.
  • FIM solution for protecting and monitoring the integrity of our data repositories.
  • HIDS solution. Great for monitoring the security on each host and reporting suspicious activity to the SIEM.
  • Vulnerability scanning and reporting. The solution would report vulnerabilities (missing patches) for system that already had the Windows patches installed.
  • Every now and then agents would stop reporting.
  • The UI platform is a little complex for first time users.
AlienVault offers the most capabilities within one platform that can all be controlled and managed through one UI. With other solutions, you need to have a few different tools to get the same capabilities as AlienVault.
This is a great solution for any medium to large organization to protect their networks and cloud environments. This solution may be a little expensive for small businesses.
