Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Asset discovery is good.""There are a lot of people you will find using OSSIM since they are also offering OTX as a service""The threat alerts it gives me from time to time on harmful code within the network, or if they are generating any network traffic, are very useful.""You pay monthly for the solution. I think it's one of the best products. If you compare with other companies, like LogRhythm, etc., the top 8 or 10 CMs, I think Alien Vault has the best price-performance ratio.""The most valuable features of AlienVault OSSIM are case management, ease of configuration, and investigation.""The solution is very stable. Compared to Qradar and Splunk, it's very stable.""Its user-friendliness is the most valuable. It is very easy to use and explore. The dashboard is very well packaged and integrated. You don't have to spend a lot of time in configuring it and checking out the RPM etc. It is also free and very powerful.""OSSIM is the only solution that includes the large number of modules that we need: a vulnerability scanner, a network IDS system, a host IDS system."

"We haven't had any stability issues.""The most valuable features for us are the application logs monitoring and the dashboard, which provides a single-pane view of all the ongoing activities.""You can have all of the logs from servers to network and it gets sent out to the correct owners. This is very helpful.""The Sharecon feature is the most valuable.""The reports that you can run are really nice.""ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy.""The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward.""The product is very user-friendly."

Cons
"The solution needs more integration with cyber intelligence systems.""There needs to be more support or some kind of training program so users can self-learn the system more effectively.""GUI could be improved.""The initial setup was a bit complex. You've got to do a lot of reading. It's not an intuitive implementation.""It takes some time. It does not give me a prompt response for any such [malicious] traffic. It takes time to get that alert from the AlienVault system.""AlienVault OSSIM should improve the deployment and make it unified like the USM.""I would like the solution to be able to integrate with my firewall, my IDS and my Honeypot solutions so that it can provide real-time reporting as things occur and then have alert sent to me on my phone when suspicious activity is happening.""The solution is not scalable."

More AlienVault OSSIM Cons →

"It is not expensive compared to other solutions.""The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment.""Their technical support should be improved.""The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved.""It's difficult to find which conditions have been applied to a report because they are provided by default by ManageEngine. However, with other SIEMs if you want to create a report, they provide details, like which conditions are triggering certain reports. This needs to be there in ManageEngine. It would be good to know which parameter has been applied to the report that is updating the system.""On the logging system, there's a local on-client side that is encrypted, and there's one that is not encrypted. It is only for diagnostical purposes. However, both being encrypted would be very valuable for some audits.""The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities.""The support needs improvement."

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 →

  • "There is a cost for each feature used."
  • "Its pricing is definitely huge compared to some of the other SIEMs. Its price should be improved."

    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. Launched by security engineers because of the lack of available open source products, AlienVault OSSIM was created specifically to address the reality many security professionals face: A SIEM, whether it is open source or commercial, is virtually useless without the basic security controls necessary for security visibility.

    Log360 is your one-stop solution for all log management and network security challenges. It is an integrated solution that combines EventLog Analyzer and ADAudit Plus into a single console to help you manage your Active Directory auditing and network security easily.
