"It Has Powerful Threat Detection, Incident Response, And Compliance Management"

4/5

What do you like best about LevelBlue USM Anywhere?

AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) has powerful threat detection, incident response, and compliance management. We can use this across cloud, on-premise and hybrid environments.

The reason to use USM is that it has the following components in its package:

Asset Discovery

Vulnerability Assessment

Intrusion Detection

Behavioral Monitoring

SIEM & Log Management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LevelBlue USM Anywhere?

AlienVault must improve their correlation feature. Some of the events do not match with the correlation rules and some of the correlation events are false-positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

AlienVault has an advanced component within one package. With this, we can cover more area with one solution.

As a example, it has vulnerability assessment component built-in. From this, we can do the vulnerability assessment easily and we do not have to buy another solution for the vulnerability assessment. It is easy to use and we can take better advantage from an all-in-one solution like USM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AlienVault Locks it Down"

4.5/5

What do you like best about LevelBlue USM Anywhere?

AlienVault provides a simple, customizable dashboard to easily see the most important things going on in your environment. It goes beyond traditional SIEM by providing things like File Integrity Monitoring, IDS and Asset Management. It also has very simple integration with common cloud services (USM Anywhere only). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LevelBlue USM Anywhere?

From a volume perspective, if you have a ton of log data, it isn't the best tool for traditional SIEM activities. There is also no migration from USM Appliance to USM Anywhere. You basically have to start over if you move some things to the cloud and want to capture that information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AlienVault USM Anywhere"

5/5

What do you like best about LevelBlue USM Anywhere?

AlienVault USM Anywhere is a great product. Its ability to post threat data to a cloud console is a huge improvement over the previous reporting functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LevelBlue USM Anywhere?

It can still be difficult to integrate with 3rd party products. Digesting logs from some devices still requires plugins to be build manually - but they have made great strides in including more plugins by default. DHCP-based networks are still quite challenging to deal with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
