We performed a comparison between AlienVault OSSIM and Securonix Next-Gen SIEM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The open vault component and the checking of vulnerabilities are the most valuable features. The page management helps with this. If you know how your device is vulnerable at least you can do something about it."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the data correlation and vulnerability assessment."
"It has helped us remediate threats in the past by providing significant events that assisted in identifying suspicious activities, such as logins from multiple countries."
"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 solution is very stable. Compared to Qradar and Splunk, it's very stable."
"There are a lot of people you will find using OSSIM since they are also offering OTX as a service"
"The solution has a very good open source community, and whenever we have problems, we are always able to resolve it online."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Risk scoring was nice. We could exactly see which user had the highest risk score, and then we could pick it up and work on it."
"The machine-learning algorithms are the most valuable feature because they're able to identify the 'needle in the haystack.'"
"There aren't any positive aspects of the solution. It was a complete failure. There are no redeeming features."
"One of the most valuable features it has is the thread chaining. One of the common issues that we always had was the number of anomalies that we used to get and the number of alerts that we used to get. But with this approach of thread chaining, we've found the false-positive rate has decreased very significantly. That was something that we never could have achieved before."
"I rate the technical support a nine out of ten. They're friendly. Whenever we have a P1 issue, we write an email and our issue is resolved in one or two hours."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
"Its console is very easy to use and configure. It is very intuitive for our use cases. App integrations are also pretty nice."
"The big data security analytics platform, structured and unstructured data analytics, and user and entity behavior analytics provided by the product are probably the best in the industry."
"The user interface needs to be friendlier across the board."
"There needs to be more support or some kind of training program so users can self-learn the system more effectively."
"Lacking in depth of reporting."
"The solution is not scalable."
"AlienVault OSSIM on-premise version is more difficult to implement than the cloud version. Additionally, they should add integration between several different environments at once and improve their online knowledge base."
"AlienVault OSSIM is costly."
"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."
"The documentation could be improved."
"A helpful feature would be an event export. A way to create more substantial summary reports would be nice."
"We would like to see better integration with other products."
"The technical support of the solution is an area with shortcomings and needs improvement."
"One of the things they can improve on a little bit is the usability side, to make some things simpler... The tool does have a lot of knobs, you can turn a lot of things on and off and you can change things. Sometimes, it can become a little overwhelming. They should remove some confirmation options and make it simpler for the less mature customers and people who are still trying to grasp it."
"When they did upgrades or applied patches, sometimes, there was downtime, which required the backfill of data. There were times when we had to reach out and get a lot of things validated."
"One aspect that could be improved is the pricing of the product in Brazil."
"Other than issues with the training, there have been issues with the encryption. There have also been issues with some of the reporting, minor glitches that they have fixed as they've gone along."
"The analytics-driven approach for finding sophisticated threats and reducing false positives is positive and good, but the platform requires a more dynamic concept. Everything is a bit static."
