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

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

"The solution is free to use."

"You can customize the dashboards as well as the reporting."

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

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

"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."

More AlienVault OSSIM pros

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

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

"The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."

"The Sharecon feature is the most valuable."

"The product is very user-friendly."

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

"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."

"The reports that you can run are really nice."

More ManageEngine Log360 pros

Cons

"The user interface could be improved."

"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."

"The price of this solution is very high and it could be cheaper."

"The user interface needs to be friendlier across the board."

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

"The documentation could be improved."

"Sometimes technical issues take very long to get resolved."

"The incidence reporting could be better."

More AlienVault OSSIM cons

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

"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."

"Log360 currently cannot gather information from Intune logs or cloud-integrated systems."

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

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

"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."

"On the logging system, there's a local on-client side that is encrypted, and there's one that is not encrypted. It is only for diagnostical purposes. However, both being encrypted would be very valuable for some audits."

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

More ManageEngine Log360 cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"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."

"AlienVault OSSIM is an open-source solution."

"AlienVault OSSIM is expensive compared to its competitors."

"OSSIM is free."

More AlienVault OSSIM pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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."

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.
