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

"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."

"The product is majorly used for threat detection of the agents on servers and endpoints."

"The solution is free to use."

"AlienVault OSSIM is an enterprise solution that sells easily. It is rated highly by organizations."

"The initial setup was straightforward. I didn't have any problems."

"I recommend it due to the experience of the people running it."

"Asset discovery is good."

More AlienVault OSSIM pros

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

"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."

"It is easier to deploy than are other SIEMs, which is great. You can also get an overview of your environment, which is very handy."

"My main objective for using ManageEngine Log360 is its powerful and real-time capabilities for managing security and other tasks efficiently."

"The Sharecon feature is the most valuable."

"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."

"You can have all of the logs from servers to network and it gets sent out to the correct owners. This is very helpful."

More ManageEngine Log360 pros

Cons

"Lacking in depth of reporting."

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

"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."

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

"The incidence reporting could be better."

"When comparing AlienVault OSSIM to other solutions it looks a bit outdated.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

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

More AlienVault OSSIM cons

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

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

"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."

"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."

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

"It takes a little bit of time for Log360 to actually learn your environment."

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

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

More ManageEngine Log360 cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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 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 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."

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

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

More AlienVault OSSIM pricing and cost advice

"ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."

"Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."

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

"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."

"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.
