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

"The solution is free to use."

"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."

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

"Network traffic analysis is highly efficient."

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

"There are a lot of people you will find using OSSIM since they are also offering OTX as a service"

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

"The most valuable feature is the logging capability."

More AlienVault OSSIM pros

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

"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 reports that you can run are really nice."

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

"The product is very user-friendly."

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

"The Sharecon feature is the most valuable."

"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."

More ManageEngine Log360 pros

Cons

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

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

"They can add more compliance templates."

"The documentation could be improved."

"I don't like to work on OSSIM because it is unpredictable."

"AlienVault OSSIM should improve the deployment and make it unified like the USM."

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

"The solution is not scalable."

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."

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

"ManageEngine Log360 could provide more in-depth insights, particularly in reporting."

"Their technical support should be improved."

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

"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 solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities."

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

More ManageEngine Log360 cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"OSSIM is free."

"AlienVault OSSIM is expensive compared to its competitors."

"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."

More AlienVault OSSIM pricing and cost advice

"ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."

"There is a cost for each feature used."

"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."

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
