AlienVault is an all-in-one SIEM device for monitoring events on your network. Not only does it monitor everything on your network, but also comes with a built-in vulnerability scanner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the reporting capabilities are not quite as robust as I would like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The install process was painless, and I have "No" cloud infrastructure experience Any part I was unclear about, support helped fix the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Information over-kill for the none experienced....

You will forced to learn more about cloud security....

Not really a dis-like...more like unprepared... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Ease of implementation is nice. It is very easy to get up and running in a environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It could use some better customization. It can be difficult to filter out all the noise of the alerts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have nothing to dislike about AlienVault Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The product is amazing in terms of what it can do, it is very flexible and powerful. Lots of features relating to alerts on potential threats. In addition the ability to package a SIEM into the same product is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is complicated to get started. It takes a big learning curve to get up and running. The online training is basic at best and their online courses are "In Person" so you have to sit through an entire session at one time. I don't have 5 full days to take a training class (EVER).

It provide concentrated logs for aws and onsite devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Have to get used to search properly logs to get what you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration of security tools in one platform, I think is a differential on the market with the others SIEM's, the ease of modify and create my own plugins although is need have a deep linux knowledge.

I think the reports is very good, the solution have the templates to get information and take decisions to improve the security controls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not just AV, I think all platforms in the market needs to improve the GUI to have a better manage and I think the preformance in the appliances need improve and last, more documentation or improve the KB to have a better knowledge to do troubleshooting.

The platform is stable in a virgin installation, has good speed, has ease of use, has good whiteboards for summary of statistics, integrates in a good way to several IDS and IPS, has a very good amount of pluing, has its free version that Is OSSIM, it is easy to install and configure, Has a friendly interface, has very good details about the events, the design is sober is professional, Everything can be handled from a click from the web interface or from the CLI that provides this gives a very large ease and maneuverability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The installation after its constant patching becomes unstable, the database is saturated to such a level that it comes to think that it does not have a good architecture or index relation, has very poor description of logs makes you investigate out of the tool each Code detected to make your diagnosis, has a poor information of the activity of the users, the support in the version USM they serve but they do not solve Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Alienvault was straightforward to set up and start using. Training was good and allowed us to immediately customize the product to our needs. Support has been good when needed. This product gives us much more insight as to what is happening on our network than we had previously. The included scanner is good and allowed us to cancel our subscription with another vendor for the service. Alienvault is a product that works well for businesses that do not have a dedicated security staff since it is pretty straightforward to get up and running and to manage. Asset discovery is fair, OS is typically incorrectly identified though. Support is typically pretty good, fairly quick to respond and provide a solution to the reported issue.

Data organization could be better. Need to be able to sort scan results on the vulnerability for example. I currently rely on a system built in-house that I then export scan data from Alienvault and input into this system in order to then view in a more readable format. Vulnerabilities within USM itself have been identified but not yet corrected. For being a security product, you expect this to be addressed quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The executive dashboards give an immediate presence when displayed in the classroom environment on a big screen television as a dashboard. Students become inquisitive to learn what a product like USM or SIEM is, as buzz words become alive to touch an actual product. It is one thing to read about a Unified Security Manager (USM), or a Security Incident Event Manager (SIEM), but to actually visually see in a production environment and use it is another story.

There is a huge learning curve to understand the product. False positives provide a means for the students to do adequate research on a particular event and determine if what actually happened in the environment did indeed happen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
