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.""The most valuable features of AlienVault OSSIM are vulnerability assessment, network intrusion detection system, response to critical events, and awareness of the whole network.""The initial setup was straightforward. I didn't have any problems."

"The way it can connect with AWS is very useful, and the integrations are pretty good.""The setup is not difficult. It was easy.""Exabeam Fusion SIEM has a good performance and more advantages than traditional solutions.""I have customers that like the EUBA functionality of it. The solution has the ability to build a session, basically. It pulls a lot of information together, for example, everything a user does in a specific timeframe. It's quite helpful.""The most valuable feature of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is the easy-to-use user interface.""Timeline based analysis; good platform support""The user interface and the timelines they use are the most valuable features.

Cons
"I don't like to work on OSSIM because it is unpredictable.""The documentation could be improved.""It's under heavy traffic. If you have heavy traffic, the system is slow.""We need more dashboards and we need more customization for dashboards.""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.""The user interface needs to be friendlier across the board.""Lacking in depth of reporting."

More AlienVault OSSIM Cons →

"The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive.""Adding to the number of certifications that they have, for example, ISO 27001, would be helpful.""They need to focus on more of the MITRE ATT&CK Framework and coverage. They claim they cover about 70 to 80%. I'm not sure if it's really quite that much, however.""They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails.""Updating the new release of Exabeam Fusion SIEM takes time and slows our performance.""I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product.""The initial setup of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is complex because it needs to integrate with the SIEM solution, but after this is complete it is straightforward.""The organzation is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate"

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 →

  • "They have a great model for pricing that can be based either on user count or gigabits per day."
  • "There is an annual license required to use Exabeam Fusion SIEM. The price of the solution should be reduced."
