The advice I would give to others looking into using Security Onion is that it works well for setting up within a Linux environment, bringing a new platform to run and maintain. The application itself has helped to keep track of logs and vulnerabilities in the environment, and alert triage and case creation is simple to start and follow through to the end, making it a highly recommendable tool. I love Security Onion; it is an open-source tool supported by a community of like-minded users. The GUI is straightforward and easy to work with, and I also appreciate that there is the ability to use an appliance from Security Onion, though we have not had a need to use it yet. Security Onion integrates very well with other AWS services I use in my case. The configuration and the easy-to-use interface of Security Onion offer an affordable and budget-friendly option for monitoring networks in real-time and responding to incidents promptly. I would rate this review three out of five.
Security Onion is deployed on the cloud in our organization. I would recommend the solution to other users. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
