Pros
"The feature I have found most valuable is credential monitoring. This feature is easy and quick."

More Anomali ThreatStream Pros →

"Asset discovery and vulnerability scanner are good features. The integration between this solution and OTX, which is an AlienVault platform for Open Threat Exchange, is also a valuable feature. It is also quick and easy to deploy, so you can quickly engage with a customer's environment.""The dashboards are very descriptive and contain just the right amount of information. The activity alarms and events contain a plethora of data that is very descriptive and useful.""AlienVault provides a checklist answer when using SIEM.""The asset management functionality (active and passive scans) is also really important. You can't protect what you do not know about, so having an inventory of all your devices and software is critical to a security management program.""As we have to service several servers, we can manage them in a economical way, which is beneficial to our team and business.""The most valuable feature in AT&T AlienVault USM is the reporting.""OTX is a great module that lets staff maintain and monitor updates regarding events in the infrastructure and takes decision to improve the security perimeter.""The IDS and the threat intelligence are very useful. They are very intuitive and data-rich."

Cons
"Less code in integration would be nice when building blocks."

More Anomali ThreatStream Cons →

"In the future, I would like to see all these features of the solution working properly.""The UI and overall processes need a little bit more love. This shows in the error banners that come up when you select certain things. There isn't a day that goes by that the UI doesn't error out and I can't view events for an alarm.""Plugins could be better utilized, as some of them do not recognize all logs.""The solution is a bit complicated. It could be simplified quite a bit.""Support can be slow at times, but the quality is high. Posted knowledge base articles could use improvement.""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.""The reporting module could be a little easier to handle, as it requires quite some trial and error until you get the reports you want. Also, it would be great to have a graphical interface for the Network Intrusion Detection System's rule management.""It would be hard for any legitimate MSSP to use it."
