AlienVault USM - A Great Product | TrustRadius

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is used by our entire organization.

Pros and Cons

It's pretty easy to get rid of the access noise without losing any logs.
Ability to create customizable views. Allows you to view the type of information quickly.
The alerts that are sent, and the information in them, are helpful.

If the assets are put in groups, you seem to have to run separate vulnerability scans per group. In comparison to the appliance, you have the ability to add all groups in one scan.
The results of the vulnerability scan feel scattered. The appliance layout of the results is easier to deal with.
More help with deployment and initial setup. Depending on the setup, discussing what needs to be done and how to do it killed a lot of time.
