"Best budget friendly commercial SIEM and all-in-one tool available"

4/5

What do you like best about LevelBlue USM Anywhere?

The best part of this product is that even right out of the box, you get instant utility. With the NIDS feature, you get instant alerting and security insight. Adding syslog, vulnerability scans and asset tracking is icing on the cake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LevelBlue USM Anywhere?

Coming from an open source background, the reporting and UI have that homegrown feel. Not the most intuitive or professional, but functional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LevelBlue USM Anywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?

This helps cover so many areas...compliance, security operations, vulnerability management. Biggest benefit is the IDS functionality and syslog correlation. This helps us with visibility and incident response. We can easily respond to the results of the correlation and alerting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documentation and training are not good. The product itself is pretty solid and has never given me issues and i've implemented it at 2 different companies. Their support is very solid and responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
