Enables cost-effective security management for small businesses

Scaling for USM is always challenging for any product unless it is purpose-built or overbuilt at the front end. They will use Palo Alto and its competitors, and LevelBlue will manage that implementation. The main area where the AlienVault product was lacking around the 2018 timeframe was in its ability to scale. By pushing it to a cloud-based system, they've largely alleviated scale issues. It's native in Amazon but will also run in Azure. They have worked with cloud service providers to offer enough throughput at a cost reasonable for a corporation. Scaling was their biggest problem, and they've largely conquered those issues.

Great for PCI compliance but issues with stability and large amounts of data

I mainly use this solution to meet PCI compliance The automation of compliance reports and the correlation of the log have been major improvements. The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance. The correlation suite needs to be improved. I also think they need to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have worked with LogRhythm in the past, since 2015, and I find that AlienVault is a better product."

"The tool's security detection is good. It helps us with login tracking and generating reports. We aim to identify potential issues, such as brute-force attacks on user accounts or server-level anomalies. For instance, if I receive a report indicating a server is at an abnormal level, I investigate and address the issue."

"The most valuable features of AlienVault OSSIM are case management, ease of configuration, and investigation."

"Its user-friendliness is the most valuable. It is very easy to use and explore. The dashboard is very well packaged and integrated. You don't have to spend a lot of time in configuring it and checking out the RPM etc. It is also free and very powerful."

"The solution is very stable. Compared to Qradar and Splunk, it's very stable."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"The threat policies of the solution are always very advanced and the best in the market, and they are very persistent in terms of keeping up with security protocols."

"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."

More AlienVault OSSIM pros

"If you want to deploy a SIEM and you want it to be simple, and not deal with much maintenance or help from the OEM, then I would say that NNT is the one."

"This is a very easy-to-use interface with a quick ramp-up time."

"Customer Service: The service we've seen from NNT to date has been extraordinarily good."

"The FIM features in the Change Tracker and the Log Tracker are the most valuable."

"The Change Tracker tool is very good and will reduce your overall workload."

"File integrity monitoring is a very important function."

"The automation of compliance reports and the correlation of the log have been major improvements."

"The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance."

Cons

"AlienVault OSSIM gives unwanted notifications."

"It's so hard to configure and explore something new on it."

"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."

"The correlation engine needs to be improved."

"I would like the solution to be able to integrate with my firewall, my IDS and my Honeypot solutions so that it can provide real-time reporting as things occur and then have alert sent to me on my phone when suspicious activity is happening."

"When comparing AlienVault OSSIM to other solutions it looks a bit outdated. Additionally, they need to improve their integration."

"There needs to be more focus on the NOC and IIS in terms of developing applications for behavior detection."

"The initial setup was a bit complex. You've got to do a lot of reading. It's not an intuitive implementation."

More AlienVault OSSIM cons

"For the NNT Log Tracker and Change Tracker, they have to make their knowledge base available online because there is very little information available on the internet."

"It is able to identify the vulnerability, however, they need an option to auto-mitigate."

"I would like to see the integration of AI technology, so rather than manually monitoring the logs, the tool will understand it and take care of it."

"The correlation suite needs to be improved."

"Only one minor deployment issue came up and it was resolved quickly. No other areas of improvement come to mind yet."

"It is able to identify the vulnerability, however, they need an option to auto-mitigate."

"There are some issues with the stability - the correlation engine has failed multiple times, and the reports sometimes take too long, so we have to involve the tech team to get them."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AlienVault OSSIM is expensive compared to its competitors."

"AlienVault OSSIM is an open-source solution."

"AlienVault OSSIM is free."

"The licensing fees for the non-community edition are paid on an annual basis, and there are no costs in addition to this."

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

"I used the paid version of the tool and found it to be expensive. It has been a while since I changed to Securonix. I will have to check whether AlienVault charges per device, user, or log."

"When comparing AlienVault OSSIM to Microsoft Sentinel, AlienVault OSSIM incurs additional costs due to its licensing price structure. If you are using AlienVault for security purposes at a certain level it can have a higher price point than the current pricing of Microsoft Sentinel."

"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."

More AlienVault OSSIM pricing and cost advice

"We have selected a perpetual license along with support."

"NNT's pricing is moderate - I would rate their pricing two-and-a-half out of ten."

"Consider both their on-premises solution and their hosted solution. Both are reasonably priced."
