What do you like best about OSSIM (Open Source)?

What I like most about AlienVault OSSIM is the fact that it covers many layers of the security overview in your company, be it small, medium or enterprise level. Not only you receive events and correlate those, you also detect for the presence of new assets, strange behaviours in netflows and have a handy asset availability manager integrated with it. You cover a lot with such a simple, straightforward integrated tool as this one is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OSSIM (Open Source)?

If you are low on resources for this virtual machine, you might find your entire hypervisor "hung" in resources, as this is a very resource-intensive application. When idle it's already taking at least 5 Gb of RAM. As with every SIEM tool, you must properly size the virtual machine in order to have the right resources to handle your events per second metric in your network. In order to properly size this solution on the enterprise, you should also do stress tests over this virtual machine to see if it will handle your EPM metric. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OSSIM (Open Source):

Always request a solution architect to properly size this solution for you. Thanks to that, you can realize the most benefits from the features this great solution has to offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OSSIM (Open Source) solving and how is that benefiting you?

After properly configured (installed agents, listening on traffic on your mirror port, etc), you realize the benefit of threat intelligence over the traffic you just captured in a matter of minutes. So if you're presenting this tool in a demo presentation/proof-of-concept setup, it's an easy sale because the customer will see its value while you're showing it. Also, thanks to the Open Threat Exchange cloud intelligence from AlienVault, from the very first minute you get your first logs captured, you can detect new attacks that have been detected elsewhere, with the extra benefit it comes for free.
