	AlienVault OSSIM (discontinued)
Considered Both Products	Discontinued Products Verified User Chose AlienVault OSSIM (discontinued) Originally my organization leveraged alien value due to the lower cost of entry and ability to manage it as a service provider. Unfortunately, after several years of working with this tool, it became unwieldy to use as it felt that almost every useful report had to be created … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose AlienVault OSSIM (discontinued) We did not evaluate or use any other product previous to AlienVault [OSSIM]. We had a specific need to meet our audit requirements and AlienVault [OSSIM] provided all the features needed as well as being simple enough to deploy without any dedicated staff. Real-time alerts … Incentivized Helpful? John Keenan Director of Information Security in Information Technology at Memorial Hospital of Gulfport (Medical Practice, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose AlienVault OSSIM (discontinued) I liked it but it seemed a bit pricey for our organization at the time in comparison to AlienVault. Incentivized Helpful? Laurie Keith Help Desk Manager in Information Technology at Black Hills Federal Credit Union (Banking, 201-500 employees) Chose AlienVault OSSIM (discontinued) We have not used any other products similar to AlienVault so I do not have anything to compare it to. We did look at a few others when first purchasing, but at this point, I do not recall what they were. Incentivized Helpful? Matthew Frederickson Director of Information Technology in Information Technology at Council Rock School District (Education Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose AlienVault OSSIM (discontinued) Best bang for the buck. Darktrace did not perform even close to AlienVault. I ran them concurrently. AlienVault consistently found issues that Darktrace didn't pick up, and the Darktrace incidents were false positives. At one point, Darktrace stated I had 2,000 servers and I … Incentivized Helpful? Scott Holland CEO in Information Technology at Frontline Cyber Security Ltd (Computer & Network Security, 1-10 employees) Chose AlienVault OSSIM (discontinued) OSSIM is the free version of the Alien Vault USM and comes packed with most of the features you will need to get going. Like most free to use products, it is missing aspects that make the use of the product much more productive. As an example, you will need a separate system for … Incentivized Helpful? Ivan Montilla Miralles Technical Services in Information Technology at GB Advisors, Inc. (Computer & Network Security, 11-50 employees) Chose AlienVault OSSIM (discontinued) AlienVault OSSIM as the first experience with a SIEM is very fine, especially if your company is an SMB. Every SIEM shares some features in common with other products, features such as log retrieval and normalization. So if you stick with principles, you can learn other SIEM … Incentivized Helpful? Jose Quintero Support Services Manager in Information Technology at GB Advisors, Inc. (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose AlienVault OSSIM (discontinued) AlienVault OSSIM has the upper ante in initial deployment price, being that it's open source. Also, with perhaps the exception of SolarWinds, it has a lower optimal requirements for onsite deployment, hence your OPEX won't be hit very hard by investing in new hardware to suit … Incentivized Helpful?
