Find out what your peers are saying about Recorded Future, Check Point Software Technologies, Microsoft and others in Threat Intelligence Platforms."This product has helped to increase staff productivity."
"The most valuable feature is you have the expertise of human experience directly involved. There is a team of experts."
"It's quite integratable so you can actually integrate and get IP malware and URL information. It also gives you some form of intelligence into what you're trying to investigate or what you're trying to understand."
"We had used previous products and found AlienVault centralized the logging for our security."
"The feature that I liked the most is that they have a vulnerability assessment package that comes along with the SIEM solution. So, whenever I find any threat or alert for any of the devices or servers, I could immediately initiate a vulnerability assessment scan on that machine. That is one of a kind. The price at which AlienVault operates is also valuable."
"There are multiple tools for information security. The solution includes all the latest advances on the network and host intrusion detection systems."
"It provides a single pane of glass view, coupled with a whole security ecosystem. The ability to manage everything from a central point, including vulnerability assessments, asset management - including the services provided by the various hosts, NIDS, HIDS, etc. - provides a very efficient way of dealing with things."
"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 is vulnerability management because it gives you insight into your environment to know what systems need to be updated or patched."
"We're using it more for reporting, that's all. We're using it to help our customers to pass any kind of audits that they receive."
"The IDS and the threat intelligence are very useful. They are very intuitive and data-rich."
"I would like to see better integration with other systems, solutions, and vendors."
"We would like to have more AI capabilities to detect threats and improve its productivity from a cybersecurity standpoint."
"You have to look for the new information from X-Force. X-Force will provide it but you have to look for it. We need clearer visibility."
"The one thing I continue to dislike about the USM is the limitation on reports."
"As this software is in the cloud, you do not have control on updates and general changes which are happening."
"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."
"AlienVault needs to continue to integrate with other third-party technologies that clients want to have monitored."
"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."
"The solution is a bit complicated. It could be simplified quite a bit."
"The reporting aspect could be improved. While there are a lot of different options available, there are still pieces which are missing."
"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."
