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."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 initial setup is straightforward."
"AlienVault OSSIM's GUI is very user-friendly."
"The solution has a very good open source community, and whenever we have problems, we are always able to resolve it online."
"Inbuilt IDS, inbuilt integration with threat intelligence platform and with vulnerability assessment modules."
"The solution is free to use."
"There are a lot of people you will find using OSSIM since they are also offering OTX as a service"
"The most valuable feature is the logging capability."
"The customizability of the tool is valuable. We are able to customize the use cases and create them easily without a large amount of Securonix assistance. It's very flexible. We do not have to rely on Professional Services to modify or create a new use case."
"The user interface is easy to learn and navigate."
"We can customize our use cases with the tools provided by Securonix. It is an excellent tool that can ingest data in different ways and is very flexible."
"The two major features of this product we extensively use are the UEBA capability and the multi-tenant approach with the centralized data logs system. Customers are very happy with these features."
"When we were looking for products for our security monitoring needs, our biggest requirement was that we wanted something based on machine-learning and analytics. If you go with rules, it can raise a lot of noise. Securonix, with its UEBA capability, had the best analytics use-cases."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is their analytics platform where they have the open security data-link, which they introduced. This is typically different from the other vendors."
"The most valuable feature is that it works on user behavior and event rarities."
"There aren't any positive aspects of the solution. It was a complete failure. There are no redeeming features."
"I don't like to work on OSSIM because it is unpredictable."
"The documentation could be improved."
"AlienVault OSSIM gives unwanted notifications."
"The initial setup was a bit complex. You've got to do a lot of reading. It's not an intuitive implementation."
"Lacking in depth of reporting."
"AlienVault OSSIM should improve the deployment and make it unified like the USM."
"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."
"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."
"We would like to see better integration with other products."
"The incident response area should be improved."
"Other than issues with the training, there have been issues with the encryption. There have also been issues with some of the reporting, minor glitches that they have fixed as they've gone along."
"The analytics-driven approach for finding sophisticated threats and reducing false positives is positive and good, but the platform requires a more dynamic concept. Everything is a bit static."
"It seems to me that within Securonix there is no option for completely visualizing the types of sources or if there is any loss of logs. I've heard that they have an additional module to validate those types of cases, but in terms of the platform itself only, I can only see how often it sends data but not any specific detail."
"The solution could provide more automation."
"The pricing. I'm not sure how they are proceeding with the identity based pricing compared with DB pricing which most of the vendors are using today."
"The technical support of the solution is an area with shortcomings and needs improvement."
