"Outstanding SIEM for small security teams. Lacking some valuable features though."
What do you like best about LevelBlue USM Anywhere?

Outstanding SIEM for small security teams. Fairly robust out of the box feature set and integrations from a SIEM point of view. Integrations with AWS, Slack and other industry leading security and back office SaaS apps, combined with AlienVault's OTX threat intel and AlienVault labs rules are the big reasons we went with this. Platform is easy to stand up and doesn't require a ton of maintenance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LevelBlue USM Anywhere?

Vulnerability scanning and management platform is bare-bones and lacking; primarily because it doesn't allow for closing vulnerabilities due to false positive (back-ported linux patches are a good example). This makes the entire scanning module and reporting for it unusable. The cloud offering doesn't have a way to consume logs via webhook or API. Only options are really for syslog, graylog, and some Windows logging. MacOS and Linux agents don't allow for any remote management or forensic response like the Windows agents do and also instead of leveraging the agent for authentication, you still need administrative credentials; which can be a big pain if you are an agille, cloud-based company that doesn't employ a Windows Domain/AD. AlienVault NIDS can't really deal with layer 2 traffic and thus it causes a challenge to accurately identify endpoints in a DHCP environment. For example, if I have a malware alert on a machine, I really only see that machines IP address from the NIDS sensor. Having the MAC address tracking the machine (a static value) rather than the IP address (variable layer 3 value), would make the process of machine identification and isolation during a malware alarm immensely easier.

"AlienVault USM Anywhere"
What do you like best about LevelBlue USM Anywhere?

The solution is very complete due to the way it operates in the user's resources, which makes it very intuitive and innovative. Each one of the modules complements it as well as the solutions that are being added for monitoring make it unique in the market with high value. I totally like the tool and it has helped me too much here in the company to detect attacks in real time and have reaction time to prevent them. On the other hand what I love the most is that the solution recommends you to do for prevention. It would have been a plus if the solution had an agent to check the health status of the team or perform tasks as an endpoint that I hope in the future can be added as an option. I think he is on the right track and I don't doubt that in the future he will be number 1 in his category. Your user training program is excellent as it helps us become familiar with the tool and apply good practices in our environment and also for personal knowledge. Alientvault is wonderful and maybe I will use it for a long time as it helps me too much. Thank you Alienvault. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LevelBlue USM Anywhere?

We would like in the future to include an agent in the equipment and interact more with the other security solutions, for the time being is complete but I think it might help to have an agent to notify you of the health status of the endpoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AlienVault USM Anywhere - SIEM in the Cloud"
What do you like best about LevelBlue USM Anywhere?

AlienVault USM Anywhere is easy to deploy with their Cloud-based model and deploying the required agents on-prem (or in the Cloud) is quick and easy. With many integrations out-of-the-box, you can pull in all the data from products you use and other sources, such as Amazon Cloudwatch Logs. Custom rules allow for alerting based on content from events and you can even trigger agents in response to threats, shutting down computers or grabbing forensic info for incident response. USM Anywhere also takes care of reporting for ISO and PCI, allowing you to pull reports for auditors at a moments notice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LevelBlue USM Anywhere?

We would love to be able to create custom rules based on a series of events, to create rule-sets where, for example, failed logins to the VPN Server are logged and then when a successful attempt follows soon after, it triggers an alarm for a Brute Force. It does this for things like OKTA already, so control over which events this applies to would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Alien Vault USM"
What do you like best about LevelBlue USM Anywhere?

Is a complete security solution and is easy to install. I think is a transversal security solution, can give a full vision of network. Enables companies to optimize security investments and increase the efficiency of their technology infrastructure. It has essential security features that allow an organization to monitor applications and systems, in addition to its network services, gives us the ability to understand the vulnerabilities of such systems, identify new threats that actively compromise the network, as well as make detections for suspicious behavior that could indicate a compromised system.

AlienVault USM generates and stores records and events from all your local and cloud environments for 12 months, simplifying records management and review and helping you meet regulatory record retention requirements.

In addition to the benefits of the solution allows a correct and high compliance with security standards such as ISO/IEC 27001, HIPAA, Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), CIS Critical Security Controls, among others.This is possible because of:

- asset discovery,

- vulnerability assessment,

- file integrity monitoring,

- SIEM

- logs

- Reports for PCI-DSS, HIPAA, NIST and more

Recently in Mexico, companies are being required to comply with regulations, including as a requirement to banks by the CNBV. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LevelBlue USM Anywhere?

I would like to have more training material, preferably in Spanish language, as well as training in this language since most of the content is in English language. There could even be practical laboratories with real scenarios in virtual environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
