We performed a comparison between AlienVault OSSIM and Securonix Next-Gen SIEM 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 threat alerts it gives me from time to time on harmful code within the network, or if they are generating any network traffic, are very useful."
"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.""
"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."
"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."
"Asset discovery is good."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the data correlation and vulnerability assessment."
"The initial setup was straightforward. I didn't have any problems."
"The solution is free to use."
"[The solution has] incident-management or case-management functionality. If someone were to download a high number and we decided we needed to investigate it, I could open a case right in the tool. It would be able to directly reference the data that they downloaded and we could open and shut the case directly in the tool, as well as report from it."
"One of the most valuable features is the integration of all types of data sources to extract relevant information regarding events. It is a good solution when it comes to the correlations that it makes within all the data handled in our company."
"There aren't any positive aspects of the solution. It was a complete failure. There are no redeeming features."
"The big data security analytics platform, structured and unstructured data analytics, and user and entity behavior analytics provided by the product are probably the best in the industry."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
"The user interface is easy to learn and navigate."
"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."
"AlienVault OSSIM should improve the deployment and make it unified like the USM."
"The correlation engine needs to be improved."
"AlienVault OSSIM’s configuration and integration could be a little easier."
"It's under heavy traffic. If you have heavy traffic, the system is slow."
"Sometimes technical issues take very long to get resolved."
"We need more dashboards and we need more customization for dashboards."
"The price of this solution is very high and it could be cheaper."
"When comparing AlienVault OSSIM to other solutions it looks a bit outdated. Additionally, they need to improve their integration."
"Sometimes, the injectors lag and are not loading. It would be nice if that could 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."
"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."
"We would like a little more face-to-face training. Securonix has several tutorials on its website, but we want there to be a person in Colombia who does training or workshops to give us a better understanding of the platform."
"It could be improved a little bit more for admin users. There should be more administrative options related to security for admin users. For example, for forensic purposes, the admin should be able to stop a specific user from erasing some information. I would be helpful in certain situations, such as during an internal fraud."
"We would like to see better integration with other products."
