"Using the communication within the security device, it is easier to create plugins."
"The best thing about AlienVault USM is it being a “Jack-of-All Trades” solution. It provides SIEM, HIDS/NIDS, FIM, NetFlow, Asset Management, Vulnerability Management, etc., under one USM platform. None of the commercial SIEM vendors like ArcSight, McAfee, etc., can boast of such a diverse feature set."
"AlienVault has an advanced component within one package. With this, we can cover more area with one solution."
"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 setup is very easy and straightforward."
"We are able to get alerts perfectly with FIM and VA features."
"This is a USM, so being able to get all the features under one roof makes it a good product with good new features."
"Easy to use, scalable, stable, and very intuitive platform that provides protection against security threats."
"This solution could be improved if it offered the ability to analyze charts, such as a solution like Kibana."
"It could be even more automated."
"The logging functionality could be better."
"It is difficult to estimate in advance how much something is going to cost."
"The process of logging analytics can be improved"
"The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."
"If I want to track any round-trip or breakdowns of my response times, I'm not able to get it. My request goes through various levels of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and comes back to my client machine. Suppose that my request has taken 10 seconds overall, so if I want to break it down, to see where the delay is happening within my architecture, I am not able to find that out using Stackdriver."
"While we are satisfied with the overall performance, in certain cases we must add additional metrics and additional tools like Grafana and Dynatrace."

"Support can be slow at times, but the quality is high. Posted knowledge base articles could use improvement."
"We would like more plugins. This being the main point of improvement which would benefit the users."
"We develop additional rules and scripts to make it more usable."
"Pay attention to false-positive event automatic correlations."
"I feel that some areas of improvement would be vulnerability scanning. We use a separate product that seems to do a much better job."
"The solution already has quite good tools, however, they need better integration tools for linking with Office 365, Google Suite, and so on."
