Key User Insights
	LevelBlue USM Anywhere	Splunk Cloud Platform
Considered Both Products	LevelBlue Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere Splunk is more customisable but we liked USM Anywhere more because they offered more support and it was easier to use. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere This solution was not the cheapest, but covered the feature set we needed. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere We looked at Splunk and compared it to AlienVault USM,but their offerings weren't as friendly both in implementation and pricing. One of the biggest pluses of AlienVault USM is the offering of an on-premise virtual appliance. We are still a shop where we like to be hands-on … Incentivized Helpful? Cory Watson Security Engineer in Information Technology at Shipt (Internet, 501-1000 employees) Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere The tool works well compared with the two others. As I said previously, AlienVault USM gives you a lot of visibility right out of the box and with very little configuration. However, I like the ability to customize pieces, such as log parsers and dashboards, as I see fit without … Incentivized Helpful? Brian Lindow Director of Technical Services in Information Technology at SECURA Insurance Companies (Insurance, 501-1000 employees) Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere AlienVault was much less expensive with less effort to install and manage. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere I’ve found AlienVault to be the cheaper, simpler winner in the space, but their platform leaves a lot to be desired (though I still haven’t found anything better). Incentivized Helpful? Ryan Hart, MBA Director of Product in Product Management at Verified First (Human Resources, 51-200 employees) Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere I researched Splunk, AlienVault USM, and two other competitors, but the first two were the only ones seriously considered. AlienVault USM was able to offer better pricing and consummate a deal faster than Splunk. Splunk just could not get their act together to close the deal. … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere They are both great solutions, but we found that AlienVault was more cost-effective for the business, and therefore opted for it. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere AlienVault was the cheapest solution compared with the competition and had similar or better features. Also, the SaaS based solution made it easy to deploy the solution without the need to maintain additional servers on premise. It was very easy to use and had a great UI which … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere For baseline functionality and simplicity in deployment, we chose USM over other commercial or open source technologies in the same arena. When compared against other tooling like Rapid7 or Splunk, the cost for the ingestion load we were seeing on a monthly basis was best with … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere In our initial search for a SIEM solution, we evaluated many companies including Splunk. Splunk is one of the best SIEM solutions on the market. The reason that we chose to not use them is because they are built for much larger organizations than ours. The cost was very out … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere More costly then Alienvault, Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere It was a business decision prior to my employment here and I was not involved in the purchase. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere We found AlienVault to best suit our environment and provide the level of detail that we needed to not only secure our environment but to help us prepare for IT asset audits. It has VMWare, O365, and Meraki integrations which we use in our office and we required software that … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere Splunk does a good job, but the configuration was very complex and we have concerns about customization. In addition, the cost per GB of data made the solution excessively expensive. The cost of AlienVault USM is more in-line with what we are able to spend on a SIEM solution. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere AlienVault is heavily utilized in our region for on-premise infrastructure. It was selected, mainly, because of pricing options. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere AlienVault solution has a very complete set of functionalities. At the time we elected, their price was well positioned but in the last year this changed drastically. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere For us, AlienVault was better than Splunk in many ways. One of them was that AlienVault includes an easier interface and better alert rules. In the case of FortiSIEM, the cost of AlienVault was more competitive, and we were already using OSSEC, so the connection between … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere Splunk Cloud's security intelligence platform is composed of Splunk Enterprise and three solutions: Splunk Enterprise Security (ES), Splunk User Behavior Analytics (UBA) and Splunk Phantom. Splunk Enterprise provides event and data collection, search, and visualisations for … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere IBM QRadar - long and clunky installation process, after which we weren't blown away by the tired and over-complicated user interface - wasn't a good fit for us. InsightIDR - disappointing engagement with their sales team, who weren't able to answer surface-level questions about … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere They are similar in concept and operation. AlienVault USM platform feels a little more search friendly than the competition. Threat dashboard within AlienVault USM is much more consumable in the initial days of release and has a much more user friendly feel to it versus others. … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere For us it came down to cost. AlienVault's competitors just could not compare on cost for a small organization like us. They are out of touch. Everyone needs a solid tool like AlienVault, but too often the industry only caters to big budgets. More often than not, that results in … 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? Patrick Noc System Administrator in Information Technology at III (Education Management, 51-200 employees) Chose LevelBlue USM Anywhere The presentation was much better than other products and we felt it will fit with most of the items which we were looking for in SIEM product.
