    If you don't already have a system in place for anomoly detection, log monitoring, and alerting, you're doing your company a disservice. Whether Adlumin is the best choice for you depends on your budget and technology stack, but overall, Adlumin has been one of the best security purchases made by our company in the last few years, and has paid for itself by automatically preventing and protecting against specific attacks that were non-attacks due to Adlumin stopping them before they could start.

    If this is your first experience with a SIEM, this one can get you started. Take the time to learn the ins and outs of the product and you'll most likely be satisfied with it if your company is an SMB. If you need compliance reports, OSSIM is too small for you, you'll need to go with USM or USM Anywhere.

    Pros
    N-able
    • Impossible Travel Identification and Isolation.
    • Device isolation in Standalone mode (not looking at S1).
    • Alerting on new app registrations, GA permissions, email rule creation in M365.

    • Asset discovery. Once installed in a centric, network-accessible server, OSSIM can poll all your endpoints with common protocols (SSH, SNMP, WMI) to detect and discover site-wide assets to monitor. You only need to group them by your own criteria once added to the product.
    • SIEM Event Correlation. You can define quite complex correlation rules to detect possible suspicious or malicious actions or attempts in your network, in order to categorize them as real threats or as false positives, thus streamlining your risk assessment and management.
    • Ease of installation. The entire AlienVault OSSIM is self-contained in an ISO file, which can be burned into a DVD or just mounted in your server of choice (physical or virtual) for deployment. The installation process is automated and quote verbosed, with options for static IP, email messaging and others.
    • Ease of access. Being AlienVault OSSIM a self-contained appliance, it can be accessed via web by any device that supports a web browser, being that desktops, workstation, mobile devices, etc. The OSSIM dashboard and other features are automatically rearranged to adapt to the particular device being in use.

    Cons
    N-able
    • After an alert has been "Cleared" by internal IT, there should be no further action taken by the SOC team or the AI agent.
    • When there is an active internal incident or problem with Adlumin, there should be a notice in the incident or on the platform's active issues board about issues that may affect Adlumin agents. This would save people who have to respond a lot of time.
    • Have not been able to get one forwarder to function properly, despite documentation from a technician and the platform documentation. This is frustrating when a Windows collector option is available but doesn't work at all.
    • I have noticed some SentinelOne detections do not warrant responses or actions from the Adlumin team. These are usually repeated flags that do not require action, but some do, and some do not. I can't figure out what we reference specifically to determine a response from SOC or AI.

    A number of integrations were simple to set up and well documented, but a few things were difficult or undocumented yet. Some sections feel over-complicated and others feel way too vague during the setup process. Once the onboarding is finished though, the product is very simple, but there is a learning curve at the beginning.

    AlienVault OSSIM is far easy to use and manage - provided you know what you're doing. As any SIEM application, there is some background knowledge required in order to take advantage of the product's functionalities, such as the log correlation and analysis. Other than that, the application is quite usable and robust.

    Everything is done through MSSP and installation pro services. Once those hours are burned up, then you're on your own without a lot of help. Typically the pro services hours aren't enough to get past 60 days and MSSP are hit and miss. We had a miss for installation helpers.

    ArcticWolf has been a great product that we have used, but the ability that Adlumin has is extremely comparable for a fraction of the price. There are no hardware requirements with Adlumin, but it still has all of the abilities as ArcticWolf without the overheard. Again, the SOAR actions are a game changer when it comes to automation and immediate action.

    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 by hand. As other tools have come out with the ability to do automated responses such as Stellar Data processor, we have begun to evaluate alternatives.

    Return on Investment
    N-able
    • We used to be with an MSP before I was hired, and the company spent over 20K per year for that service. With N-Able, we have reduced the cost by over half.
    • I spend minimal time now patching computers because this is all automated. I sometimes have to patch a couple of machines because I missed a patch, but it has saved me a great deal of time.
    • I save a great deal of time with Board Reports because they are automatically generated for me each month.

    • It's difficult to put a monetary value on security, but with proper monitoring and alerting, incidents will be easier to avoid.
    • Helps with your compliancy, as it automatically alerts you for critical events.
    • Collects logs in the cloud, so protected from local issues, like SAN failures.
