Cons
"AlienVault OSSIM’s configuration and integration could be a little easier.""The initial setup was a bit complex. You've got to do a lot of reading. It's not an intuitive implementation.""The incidence reporting could be better.""The user interface could be improved.""The price of this solution is very high and it could be cheaper.""AlienVault OSSIM should improve the deployment and make it unified like the USM.""I suggest more in-built rules based on modern threats and environments to make it a more competitive solution.""Lacking in depth of reporting."

More AlienVault OSSIM Cons →

"We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment.""Adding to the number of certifications that they have, for example, ISO 27001, would be helpful.""The organzation is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate""We had a large volume right from the beginning and they weren't quite prepared for that. That's something that they should think about when it comes to customers that have a large volume to start off with.""They need to focus on more of the MITRE ATT&CK Framework and coverage. They claim they cover about 70 to 80%. I'm not sure if it's really quite that much, however.""They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails.""I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product.""Updating the new release of Exabeam Fusion SIEM takes time and slows our performance."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "AlienVault pricing is the best. Whatever cost you are paying, you are getting a return on every penny... It's not like your IBM, your QRadar, or Splunk, where the cost is too high."
  • "The solution is open source, so it's free to use."
  • "OSSIM is free."
  • "The licensing fees for the non-community edition are paid on an annual basis, and there are no costs in addition to this."
  • "AlienVault OSSIM is free."
  • "We are using the community version, which can be used for free."
  • "We are using a free version of the solution. If you purchase a license there are more features available but the price is a little high. The solution should be cheaper to allow more customers to be able to afford it."
  • "The price of AlienVault OSSIM is too high sometimes for us to present to our customers. The price should be lower. We are on a three-year license to use the solution. We had to pay extra for the support."
  • More AlienVault OSSIM Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "They have a great model for pricing that can be based either on user count or gigabits per day."

    Overview

    AlienVault OSSIM, Open Source Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), provides you with a feature-rich open source SIEM complete with event collection, normalization and correlation.

    -Leverage turnkey threat detection, investigation, and response
    -Collect, search and enhance data from anywhere
    -Detect threats missed by other tools, using market-leading behavior analytics

    -Enhance productivity and reduce response times with automation
    -Meet regulatory compliance and audit requirements with ease
