AlienVault OSSIM Scalability
There are a lot of people you will find using OSSIM since they are also offering OTX as a service. So that is also the threat intelligence of AlienVault that they are providing. So I have seen many people using AlienVault.
The solution scales well. Some of the volumes of data can be done in a way it can scale better.
I rare the scalability of AlienVault OSSIM an eight out of ten.

From a scalability perspective, it's very good software. It is very scalable because it has a very flexible architecture. You can connect one source in one server, and then you can connect four additional ones off that. You can put one on in front of it and you can put four under it and you can put four each off of that, etc. It's pretty open to scalable architecture.

Scalability is very good. It integrates with a number of other products, such as the help desk.

Scalability can be a bit tricky, especially for network devices. We have about 150 devices on the solution right now that I am monitoring.

I haven't explored scalability very much but the scalability is open. It's scalable up to a level where we can manage a mid-size business. As I said earlier, it is not suitable for the banking sector at all, because they require stringent controls and monitoring, real-time monitoring, which this tool doesn't have; at least, I haven't seen it. Perhaps it's my bad that I haven't seen this tool give me a proper response, on time. It takes time for it to give a response.

The free version is lacking some of the scalability options.

The scalability is something I wouldn't be able to comment much on. Since it was on-premises setup, and there was no such dynamic need from the customer in terms of expanding.
There's a team of seven currently working on the solution. Our overall monitoring was divided into three sections. One is a network monitoring, and then there are apps monitoring and monitoring the storage.
We're not involved in the engagement anymore, so I haven't heard if the client has plans to increase usage, however, due to its general limited scalability as hardware, I don't think that they would.

The server is the "brain" of the system, and there are the sensors. They are like collectors of information for the server. It depends on the size of the business and on geographical issues connected to the business. You can install sensors in all of your branch offices and the server in your main office and it works well in this type of deployment.

It's a very scalable product. I will say it is 100% scalable. It is currently managing the entire security of the firm, but it's managed by four members of our staff because it's a 24/7 operation. Three of them work shifts, and one of them is the supervisor.
View full review »The product can scale. The only problem we have with it is the integration. For example, we were trying to integrate a solution in the server for retaining logs on AlienVault. We tried everything possible, however, it just wouldn't integrate. In contrast, when we move to ArcSight, we could do it one time and it was working just fine. There were no integration issues.

The solution is largely scalable. I'd rate it at about a seven out of ten in terms of how well you can expand it.
There is room for improvement, but that's only because it depends upon the data that's feeding in. You have to understand that it's a collector. It collects data, it analyzes data. It's only going to be as good as the data you give it.

It's scalable, but AlienVault is not an enterprise class solution in the sense that it cannot go beyond 15000 EPS, which limits the market that it can address. That's a drawback, but expansion might not be what the company wants and they're happy to remain in the 2000 to 3000 EPS range, in which case it's a great product for its market.
