Alienvault USM is better and the best SIEM solution interms of financial and also in terms cyber security risk complaince. Build SOC makes it very easy with Alienvault rather going for complicated stuff. A Sensor is installed and looksafter for logs collection and server takes over from there. During Forensics we do have logger which helps us to deep dive in searching the logs. It satisfys most of compaliances like ISO, PCI, SCADA, HIPAA etc...

Pros

Alienvault USM had best features in assets discovery, Vulnerability Assessment, IDS and Log monitoring etc.. OTX pulse which is a free service comes at no cost an external threat intelligence tool. Log correlations and retention is very easty in managing and administrations. A lot og inbuilt correlations which is really helpful.

Cons

As I said mid-tier comapanys are easy in managing but companys looking for more than ! TB storage and 10000EPS rate cannot be done and adminstration becomes very complecated as half of time require for maintainence of server.

Reasons for choosing USM Anywhere

Financially effective, best in Incidence Response and Threat Intelligence. Easy stuff to built SOC and reduce man hours.

complete visibility across infrastructure, great help to demonstrate compliance, unauthorized access on network or environment. notifications and reports on security posture of the company

Pros

complete set of security capabilities out of the box Vulnerability Management IDS/HIDS File Integrity Monitoring Behavior Analysis Continuous Monitoring And appart of all that is a SIEM OTX is great for new threats and updates Dynamic and interactive dashboards single pane of glass visibility according to requirements alarms can be set according to the type of incident and priority great compatibility across software and devices vendors to collect logs from Great integration capabilities via APIs Great reporting capabilities predefined schemes to validate and ensure compliance

Cons

Vulnerability management based on Openvas ticketing system can be limited in order to track or escalate it sensors for remote locations or new offices-branches will require a new purchase, so better define future expansions during the subscription before buy so you can consider the right amount of sensors and avoid delays because of that customer support tends to delay things

Easy tracking of logs and internal vulnerability management of systems.

Pros

Takes a lot of manual work out of auditing systems. Able to filter and suppress specific events so your only looking at the ones you need to look at.

Cons

There are some integrations like azure AD where there are issues tracking azure AD logins. It eventually works but takes a while to gather the data.

AlienVault USM is ready for making compliance easy, so the value we get as a company is that we make tangible, real progress towards compliance and security management. It also allows to save costs on other tools since it comes with many integrations for every aspect you should take care of as a security administrator.

Pros

AlienVault got it right with the integrations of their product, it makes compliance very handy. They selected the best breed of products to integrate in a single console and make it easy to the customer to become fully compliant, be it PCI DSS, DISA STIG, HIPAA, ISO 27002, etc.

Cons

If you don't keep it "clean," your console might get cluttered. Sometimes it takes too much RAM if the solution was not properly sized, and can cripple performance, especially if you implemented it as a VM, it can take down performance of other VMs at your hypervisor as well.

Pros

The like most of this software Shows all issues, vulnerabilities, and attack servers, Vulnerability scanning Up to date security definitions.

Cons

some pos are the menu structure could be broken down into categories that make it easier to locate sub-menus and there are a couple of things that can only be done through the CLI and unless you're familiar with the CLI, there may be a large learning curve for some.
