Aman Aijaz
An easy-to-scale open-source solution used for monitoring events on devices
This may not be a feature. It is something like how you configure and how you analyze it. But since it's open-source, I'm talking more about this.... Read more →

Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the logging capability.""You can customize the dashboards as well as the reporting.""Better than other SIEM solutions because almost everything can be integrated.""Inbuilt IDS, inbuilt integration with threat intelligence platform and with vulnerability assessment modules.""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."""AlienVault OSSIM's GUI is very user-friendly.""There are a lot of people you will find using OSSIM since they are also offering OTX as a service""The solution is free to use."

Cons
"We need more dashboards and we need more customization for dashboards.""The documentation could be improved.""The user interface needs to be friendlier across the board.""It's under heavy traffic. If you have heavy traffic, the system is slow.""The correlation engine needs to be improved.""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.""It's so hard to configure and explore something new on it.""The solution is not scalable."

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."

  • "The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."

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.
