	LevelBlue USM Anywhere	Arcsight by OpenText
Considered Both Products	LevelBlue Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere Both of the products I have used in the past were much more medium-large sized businesses. They both had functionalities which are helpful from a trending perspective, have better reporting, and a much more involved user base. The cost of these are prohibitive compared to … Incentivized Helpful? Vladimir Finkinshtein Information Technology Security Analyst in Information Technology at Resolver Inc. (Computer Software, 201-500 employees) Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere Easy to deploy, competitive pricing model. Incentivized Helpful? Clark Crain Director of Cyber Security and Networking at First Recovery Group (Hospital & Health Care, 51-200 employees) Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere I felt that AlienVault performed the SIEM aspect as well as the one mentioned. My opinion has always been that the SIEM product is as good as the person using it is experienced. I selected AlienVault because of the many added features. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere AlienVault may be slightly less refined when compared to other enterprise offerings. But in our testing, we found either the cost, licensing model, learning curve, or any combination of the three, made AlienVault's competitors not appropriate for our environment. Over the past … Incentivized Helpful? Stephen Raju Lead Analyst GRC in Information Technology at Aleph Tav Technologies Pvt Ltd (Computer & Network Security, 11-50 employees) Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere AlienVault stands above all the SIEM solutions for its well-integrated asset management, vulnerability assessment module, behavior analysis and its other modules providing a single console for managing the complete security of the information in an organization. The other … Incentivized Helpful? Peter Akinyele Network and System Engineer in Information Technology at Infoprive (Computer & Network Security, 11-50 employees) Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere Alienvault USM is user-friendly and easy to understand. The ease of log integration and plugin development has made the solution better when compared to other SIEM tools. Also, Alienvault USM offers more than just the SIEM functions, other interesting features are added which … Incentivized Helpful? Kevin Geil Information Security Officer in Information Technology at NYS Olympic Regional Development Authority (Recreational Facilities and Services, 1001-5000 employees) Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere In comparison to Splunk, LogRhythm, and Arcsight, AlienVault came in at a great price. Also, AlienVault doesn't do "per event" pricing (which is confusing for those new to SIEM). When we did our review, AlienVault just offered more out of the box security capabilities than … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere Comparisons with other products can be tricky, since AlienVault packs a lot into its product, and that essentially is its main strength vs. the competition. For people just looking for SIEM like functionality it is definitely compatible to other products, but some of the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere In my opinion, for each component found within AlienVault you'll find better functionality within a different commercial product. QRadar's SIEM will be faster, Arcsight's parsing superior, Tripwire's FIM more robust, and Sourcefire's detection unparalleled. What you get with … Incentivized Helpful? Giuseppe Trolio Senior IT Security Consultant in Information Technology at Emaze S.p.A. (Computer & Network Security, 51-200 employees) Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere We are a SMB security firm, so we have a focus on analyzing complex events/ attacks trends, possibily leveraging not-so-expensive security products: AlienVault USM has a perk on that, by delivering an essential but state-of-the-art analysis environment. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere It's all because of price. Price for virtual deployment is really good and cheap. The update costs for every year are also low, nearly 30% of first year license price. So few companies often look for USM. Also there an AlienVault Labs, that look like they working, but it's not … Incentivized Helpful? Vishal Jadhav Information Security & PreSales Officer in Information Technology at Hemisphere Technologies Pty Ltd (Computer & Network Security, 11-50 employees) Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere AlienVault Unified Security Management solution is extremely flexible and customisable when compared to other SIEM tools such as Splunk, HP ArcSight, LogaRythm etc. The log collectors supported by most of the SIEM tools are mostly limited, and writing new collectors involves a … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere I've evaluated HP ArcSight but it's very costly. Incentivized Helpful? Kirk Yamamoto Sr. Systems Analyst in Information Technology at City of Los Angeles (Government Administration, 10,001+ employees) Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere Alienvault was far easier to deploy and manage overall. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere Capability of Alienvault to integrate with virtually all data sources and plugin flexibility stacked up against HP Arcsight Incentivized Helpful? Koen Vanhees Security Engineer in Information Technology at Cegeka (Information Technology and Services, 1001-5000 employees) Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere HP Arcsight and QRadar was not so easy and financially interesting to scale. LogRhythm lacked some key functionalities. Splunk is more like an advanced Log Management tool. Incentivized Helpful? Kirk Crespin IT/IS Officer in Information Technology at Community State Bank (Banking, 51-200 employees) Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere I considered and compared different SIEM solutions before I purchased AlienVault. Solutions such as the Solarwinds, Symantec, HP/ArcSight and Splunk solutions. When I compared the pricing and features, AlienVault won on every level. AlienVault is more than a SIEM solution. … Incentivized Helpful?	OpenText No answer on this topic
