Overall Satisfaction with AlienVault USM

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My organization is using AlienVault USM as one of the internal security operation solutions. It helps us to perform operations such as vulnerability analysis and threat detection. It also helps us to centralize the log data to be stored in one place, which is AlienVault Secure Cloud, a certified environment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Fast and inexpensive.
Easy to deploy.

Cons

Tedious in customizing rules.
Filters are hard to use.

Alternatives Considered

IBM QRadar

AlienVault USM is particularly outperforming the competitors in terms of security threats detection. However, like all the other tools, it does not automatically do the thing that you want to do. But with correctly setting up the rules and properly tuning the tool, it can greatly simplify the threat detection process.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is suitable for external use for small consulting firms and internal for large corporations. The reporting and dashboard are some great ways to demonstrate and to show to other people either the client or colleagues in the other department in the same organization who do not have any background knowledge in this field.
