"There are a lot of people you will find using OSSIM since they are also offering OTX as a service"
"The most valuable features of AlienVault OSSIM are vulnerability assessment, network intrusion detection system, response to critical events, and awareness of the whole network."
"You can customize the dashboards as well as the reporting."
"The initial setup was straightforward. I didn't have any problems."
"With AlienVault you get everything in one box."
"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."
"AlienVault OSSIM is an enterprise solution that sells easily. It is rated highly by organizations."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The integration is very user-friendly. There are not many CLI commands. Everything is directly accessible from the web interface."
"Technical support is responsive and very friendly."
"The most valuable features are the ones that we use the most, which are the search and report facilities."
"It is a very comprehensive solution for gathering data. It has got a lot of capabilities for collecting logs from different systems. Logs are notoriously difficult to collect because they come in all formats. LogPoint has a very sophisticated mechanism for you to be able to connect to or listen to a system, get the data, and parse it. Logs come in text formats that are not easily parseable because all logs are not the same, but with LogPoint, you can define a policy for collecting the data. You can create a parser very quickly to get the logs into a structured mechanism so that you can analyze them."
"It is an AI technology because it is using machine learning technology. So far, there is nothing better out there for UEBA in terms of monitoring endpoints and user activity. It is using machine learning language, so it is right at the top. It provides that capability and monitors all the activities. It devises a baseline and monitors if there is any deviation from the baseline."
"We like the user and entity behaviour analytics (UEBA) and find it valuable."
"The most valuable feature of LogPoint is that they have the SIEM and SOAR combined in one solution. They are not on a separate platform."
"AlienVault OSSIM could improve by having better integration with some of the newer tools."
"It's under heavy traffic. If you have heavy traffic, the system is slow."
"The price of this solution is very high and it could be cheaper."
"AlienVault OSSIM is costly."
"The solution is not scalable."
"They can add more compliance templates."
"The documentation could be improved."
"The solution needs more integration with cyber intelligence systems."
"LogPoint can improve its dashboards. We are not able to customize the dashboard when creating them. They only have preset dashboards which do not have exactly what we are looking for."
"The solution should offer more integrations and third-party solutions like incident response platforms or allow access to third-party big data"
"The thing that makes it a little bit challenging is when you run into a situation where you have logs that are not easily parsable. If a log has a very specific structure, it is very easy to parse and create a parser for it, but if a log has a free form, meaning that it is of any length or it can change at any time, handling such a log is very challenging, not just in LogPoint but also in everything else. Everybody struggles with that scenario, and LogPoint is also in the same boat. One-third of logs are of free form or not of a specific length, and you can run into situations where it is almost impossible to parse the log, even if they try to help you. It is just the nature of the beast."
"What could be improved in LogPoint is its UI because it's less friendly to users than LogRhythm. The UI could be more aesthetically appealing to users. It's completely outdated."
"One of the things we faced last year was that we had some memory issues with the server running. We were running them as virtual services, and we were facing some performance issues. Back then, there were some things that had already been solved at the end, but one of the small issues we had was that it was quite memory-consuming. After one upgrade that we did, we faced some performance issues."
"In terms of functionality, it is very good. The only issue is the documentation. Its documentation should be improved."
"We were missing visuals and graphics. Recently, a new version seems to have come out, and it has a new graphical user interface. When I was integrating it, it was usable, but the GUI needed improvement."
"Dashboards could be developed further."
