Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Microsoft, Wazuh and others in Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)."With AlienVault you get everything in one box."
"Better than other SIEM solutions because almost everything can be integrated."
"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."
"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."
"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"
"AlienVault OSSIM's GUI is very user-friendly."
"As a result of the automation, we are able to manage SIEM with a small security team. I'm in a unique position where we have been growing the security organization quite rapidly over the last three and a half years. But, as a direct result of the empow transition and legacy collection of tools towards the empow platform, we've been able to keep that head count flat. We've been able to redirect a lot of the security team's time away from the wash, rinse, repeat activities of responding to alarms where we have a high degree of confidence that they will be false positives, adjusting the rules accordingly. This can be a bit frustrating for the analyst when they have to spend hours a day dealing with these types of probable false positives. So, it has helped not only us keep our headcount flat relative to the resources necessary to provide the assurances that our executives expect of us for monitoring, but allows our analyst team to spend the majority of their time doing what they love. They are spending their time meaningfully with a higher degree of confidence and enjoying getting into the incident response type activity."
"I suggest more in-built rules based on modern threats and environments to make it a more competitive solution."
"Lacking in depth of reporting."
"AlienVault OSSIM could improve by having better integration with some of the newer tools."
"There needs to be more support or some kind of training program so users can self-learn the system more effectively."
"The user interface could be improved."
"Sometimes technical issues take very long to get resolved."
"The price of this solution is very high and it could be cheaper."
"It's so hard to configure and explore something new on it."
"Relative to keeping up with the sheer pace of cloud-native technologies, it should provide more options for clients to deploy their technologies in unique ways. This is an area that I recommend that they maintain focus."
