We performed a comparison between AlienVault OSSIM and ManageEngine Log360 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 dashboard is the solution's most valuable aspect. It brings everything into one central point where I can actually look at it and go, "Okay, I understand what's going on.""
"There are a lot of people you will find using OSSIM since they are also offering OTX as a service"
"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 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 tool's security detection is good. It helps us with login tracking and generating reports. We aim to identify potential issues, such as brute-force attacks on user accounts or server-level anomalies. For instance, if I receive a report indicating a server is at an abnormal level, I investigate and address the issue."
"Inbuilt IDS, inbuilt integration with threat intelligence platform and with vulnerability assessment modules."
"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."
"You can customize the dashboards as well as the reporting."
"The reports that you can run are really nice."
"The solution could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox."
"The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."
"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."
"The Sharecon feature is the most valuable."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"It basically helps us. We have to stay in compliance with certain issues with some of our customers. We have to have these types of tools in place for protecting our network and our data. We're in the aerospace industry, so we have a lot of defense contracts. So, all those guys will make sure that we're protecting their information, and it does a good job in that aspect."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is more secure than others, and there are more applications and features as well."
"The initial setup was a bit complex. You've got to do a lot of reading. It's not an intuitive implementation."
"The documentation could be improved."
"The user interface could be improved."
"The correlation engine needs to be improved."
"There needs to be more support or some kind of training program so users can self-learn the system more effectively."
"I don't like to work on OSSIM because it is unpredictable."
"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."
"GUI could be improved."
"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."
"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."
"The solution lacks some features when compared to other products."
"The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities."
"We can log in as a local user, and it's fine, but when we login with an Active Directory user, we cannot."
"Most times log sheets are not assigned well."
"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."
