	LevelBlue USM Anywhere
Considered Both Products	LevelBlue Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere AlienVault USM offers a user-friendly interface and comprehensive features at a lower cost compared to QRadar, making it our preferred choice for effective threat detection and response. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere Easy to deploy and ease of use, good training by ATT Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere I have used Splunk and QRadar which are quite manual and resource-intensive to get set up. On the other hand, AlienVault USM seems to have everything you need out of the box to get set up. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere QRadar is one of the top SIEMs on the market. AlienVault USM is more suitable for companies or clients having a smaller budget, as AlienVault USM is cheaper than QRadar. Regarding features, QRadar trumps AlienVault USM, as it is a product with a vast array of features. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere The cost of AlienVault is what sold us on AlienVault. However, considering the amount of time and effort that has gone into getting it set up and realizing that views and reports cannot be shared across groups makes it not worth the savings. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere There are other products like IBM QRadare and HP ArcSight, but they are much expensive than AlienVault USM which provides similar functionality. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere AlienVault was recommended by our PCI consultants. Incentivized Helpful? John Cerio Network Administrator in Information Technology at Baldwinsville Central School District (Education Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere I evaluated Crowd Strike. It didn't provide any insight into my network equipment, only Mac and Windows clients. I wanted a complete SIEM and log manager. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere The only other product I've used similar to AlienVault is SolarWinds SIEM (formerly TriGeo). It too could be difficult to implement and maintain, but it's user interface was much worse. While AlienVault USM Anywhere charges for the amount of data being processed, SolarWinds was … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere Darktrace - While also a fantastic product, its use case is slightly different from a SIEM, and we found that AlienVault's broad SIEM capabilities complemented Darkrace's focussed use case well. CyberShark - Cloud SIEM solutions do not often allow full control of or access to … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere I've only used AlienVault and no other products of this nature. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere AlienVault USM Anywhere provided the right gamut of features at the right price, with not a great deal of time or effort required to fully implement. As an added bonus, we can tick many checkboxes for various compliance standards, all from one solution. Complexity is an enemy … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere We already had familiarity with the platform but we needed cloud support so we upgraded to USM. We reviewed a few other options but decided USM was the best fit our requirements and price point. Incentivized Helpful? Steinerroggers Ufomaduh Security Architect in Information Technology at Kneip (Financial Services, 201-500 employees) Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere The tools reviewed were quite sophisticated. The reason for choosing AlienVault USM was mainly inclusiveness (multiple services integrated) of the solution as well as the cost-benefit ratio. Integrating the solution into our current infrastructure also appeared relatively … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere Installation of AlienVault USM is much easier and customization is open to all kinds of improvements. Incentivized Helpful? Angel Meza Analista de Seguridad Nivel 1 in Information Technology at Brier & Thorn México S.A.P.I de C.V (Computer & Network Security, 11-50 employees) Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere AlienVault USM is considerably more user-friendly, but it does fall short with the search functionality that a query language offers when looking for specific logs/statistics/data. Incentivized Helpful? Arther Magaya Security Analyst in Information Technology at DataTegra (Pty) Ltd (Information Technology & Services, 11-50 employees) Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere USM anywhere is easy to deploy and has sufficient documentation to guide administrators throughout the process of configuration and log creation. It also verifies threats against the Open Threat Exchange platform. USM gives remediation advice and insights to all threats … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere I chose AlienVault to try it in the lab environment and assess its strengths and weaknesses. Incentivized Helpful? Alan Yair Villaseñor Cervantes Coordinador de SOC in Information Technology at Dicofra Security Consulting (Security & Investigations, 11-50 employees) Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere The price and the ease-of-use, and the support from AlienVault are better. I had a lot of trouble starting out, but they guided me very well. The training provided by AlienVault was fantastic, because I could play without the fear of breaking anything. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere In terms of user-friendliness and overall navigation, I think AlienVault USM has the advantage. Also, AlienVault USM provides its own threat intelligence and then integrates it into its SEIM, which is a very helpful feature. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere AlienVault was given to us, even though we already had Secureworks. Both SecureWorks and Fireye are more of a Managed solution. It's fine to say we'll use AlienVault but it requires a lot of expertise to get it running and alerting correctly. And even then, if no one is … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere We had used Splunk, which is not even close to its pricing not at all budget-friendly. Splunk implementation requires more man-power and is a time-consuming process because no default directives are present and in implementation, each and every case needs to be checked. … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere I didn't select either product but I have used both. I suspect IBM QRadar is more expensive, however, it is also more responsive, includes support for e-streamer, does parse the "blocked" field in source fire logs, and includes UEBA.
