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.

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

"Asset discovery is good."

"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."

"Inbuilt IDS, inbuilt integration with threat intelligence platform and with vulnerability assessment modules."

"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 most valuable features of this solution are the data correlation and vulnerability assessment."

"The solution is free to use."

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

"The most valuable features of AlienVault OSSIM are vulnerability assessment, network intrusion detection system, response to critical events, and awareness of the whole network."

More AlienVault OSSIM pros

"The product is very user-friendly."

"It basically helps us. We have to stay in compliance with certain issues with some of our customers. We have to have these types of tools in place for protecting our network and our data. We're in the aerospace industry, so we have a lot of defense contracts. So, all those guys will make sure that we're protecting their information, and it does a good job in that aspect."

"The reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already."

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

"The solution could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox."

"The support provided is fantastic, and ManageEngine Log360 provides the same capabilities that were being enjoyed with AlienVault while suiting the budget and providing what is needed."

"We haven't had any stability issues."

"The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."

More ManageEngine Log360 pros

Cons

"It's under heavy traffic. If you have heavy traffic, the system is slow."

"AlienVault OSSIM could improve by having better integration with some of the newer tools."

"AlienVault OSSIM on-premise version is more difficult to implement than the cloud version. Additionally, they should add integration between several different environments at once and improve their online knowledge base."

"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."

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

"I suggest more in-built rules based on modern threats and environments to make it a more competitive solution."

"AlienVault OSSIM failed to provide our company a full insight, while also giving out a lot of false positives."

"The documentation could be improved."

More AlienVault OSSIM cons

"The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved."

"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."

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

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

"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."

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

"On the PostgreSQL side, it was not parsing much, which required a lot of manual work."

"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."

More ManageEngine Log360 cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"We are using the community version, which can be used for free."

"The price of AlienVault OSSIM is too high sometimes for us to present to our customers. The price should be lower. We are on a three-year license to use the solution. We had to pay extra for the support."

"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."

"AlienVault OSSIM is an open-source solution."

"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

"Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."

"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."

"ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."

"There is a cost for each feature used."

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

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.
