AlienVault USM does a great job of finding vulnerabilities and keeping the system secure. It very well organizes insightful logs from various platforms but the presentation can be simplified. Implementation of OTX with the latest threat investigation is the best feature. Threat alarm provided is necessary which triggers on detection of suspicious activities but it can provide more details.
