An open-source solution that provide good detection and more visibility

The solution is not scalable. It impacts so hard. In the initial stages, AlienVault OSSIM can be suitable for small environments. There may be limitations if the customer expresses a desire to expand and add more devices. In such cases, we would need to either explore additional solutions or work within the constraints of the existing setup. We have set up alerts and configured everything in AlienVault OSSIM. It actively monitors for any security incidents. It provides us with regular updates and notifications about any ongoing activities. Only one person is using the solution. It is the perfect solution for small businesses. I rate the solution’s scalability a three out of ten.

Integration capabilities impress while room for improvement exists in cloud compatibility

1. Enhanced Cloud Integration Current Gap: Log360 lacks native integration with Microsoft Intune and cloud-based Active Directory (Azure AD), limiting visibility for organizations transitioning to hybrid or fully cloud environments. Requested Improvements: Direct Intune Log Collection: Ability to ingest and correlate logs from Intune-managed devices to monitor compliance, device health, and security policies. Azure AD Deep Integration: Support for Azure AD audit logs, conditional access events, and identity protection alerts to provide end-to-end visibility. Cloud Workload Monitoring: Extend coverage to SaaS applications (e.g., Microsoft 365, AWS, GCP) for unified threat detection. Why It Matters: Many clients have migrated from on-prem AD to cloud-first setups this year. Without cloud-native log collection, critical security events (e.g., rogue Intune policies or Azure AD breaches) go unmonitored. 2. Improved Automation and Response Current Gap: Limited automated remediation (e.g., auto-isolating compromised devices) forces manual intervention. Requested Features: Playbook Automation: Pre-built workflows to auto-resolve common issues (e.g., disabling users after brute-force attacks). SOAR Integration: APIs to connect with SIEM/SOAR platforms (e.g., Splunk, Palo Alto Cortex) for escalated threat response.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the logging capability."

"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."

"It has helped us remediate threats in the past by providing significant events that assisted in identifying suspicious activities, such as logins from multiple countries."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"Better than other SIEM solutions because almost everything can be integrated."

"The solution has a very good open source community, and whenever we have problems, we are always able to resolve it online."

"You can customize the dashboards as well as the reporting."

"The paid version of the solution has reporting and better scalability options."

More AlienVault OSSIM pros

"It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications."

"The most valuable features for us are the application logs monitoring and the dashboard, which provides a single-pane view of all the ongoing activities."

"ManageEngine Log360 is a comprehensive solution, including event log analysis for Microsoft 365."

"The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."

"We haven't had any stability issues."

"The product is very user-friendly."

"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."

"The most valuable feature is that this solution is more secure than others, and there are more applications and features as well."

More ManageEngine Log360 pros

Cons

"The solution needs more integration with cyber intelligence systems."

"The user interface could be improved."

"AlienVault OSSIM is costly."

"Sometimes technical issues take very long to get resolved."

"The correlation engine needs to be improved."

"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."

"The price of this solution is very high and it could be cheaper."

"There are somewhat more false positives with the user behavior analytics, which could benefit from an additional machine learning model to detect user patterns more rapidly."

More AlienVault OSSIM cons

"The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment."

"It's difficult to find which conditions have been applied to a report because they are provided by default by ManageEngine. However, with other SIEMs if you want to create a report, they provide details, like which conditions are triggering certain reports. This needs to be there in ManageEngine. It would be good to know which parameter has been applied to the report that is updating the system."

"We can log in as a local user, and it's fine, but when we login with an Active Directory user, we cannot."

"Most times log sheets are not assigned well."

"The support needs improvement."

"While ManageEngine Log360 is a significant improvement, there could be enhancements in terms of integrating more user-friendly training materials and better deployment documentation."

"On the logging system, there's a local on-client side that is encrypted, and there's one that is not encrypted. It is only for diagnostical purposes. However, both being encrypted would be very valuable for some audits."

"The solution lacks some features when compared to other products."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AlienVault OSSIM is an open-source solution."

"The solution is open source, so it's free to use."

"AlienVault OSSIM is expensive compared to its competitors."

"AlienVault OSSIM is free."

"OSSIM is open source, and USM is the paid license. So, if you want, you can switch to USM. There you will have to buy a license, and they have a support team that helps you out on issues you face."

"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."

"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 tool's licensing costs are yearly."

More AlienVault OSSIM pricing and cost advice

"Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."

"ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."

"My client has a yearly license. I think the cost is not expensive compared to that of other SIEMs, given the service it is providing."

"Its pricing is definitely huge compared to some of the other SIEMs. Its price should be improved."

"There is a cost for each feature used."

Overview

AlienVault OSSIM, Open Source Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), provides you with a feature-rich open source SIEM complete with event collection, normalization and correlation. Launched by security engineers because of the lack of available open source products, AlienVault OSSIM was created specifically to address the reality many security professionals face: A SIEM, whether it is open source or commercial, is virtually useless without the basic security controls necessary for security visibility.

AT&T

Log360 is your one-stop solution for all log management and network security challenges. It is an integrated solution that combines EventLog Analyzer and ADAudit Plus into a single console to help you manage your Active Directory auditing and network security easily.
