Overall Satisfaction with AlienVault OSSIM
It is currently being used by only the IT department. It is a fantastic tool to help with intrusion detection, asset discovery, SIEM correlation, behavior analytics, and a few other features. On the SIEM side, it does standard correlation, normalization, and collection. Being open source we use it only as part of a lab and not as our enterprise tool but it's been great working with it so far.
- Being a part of the Open Source community, open source tools are always a big plus for me.
- Being a simple straightforward tool, it does a great job especially with the asset management piece built into it.
- Straightforward
- Open Threat Exchange(OTX) gives a straightforward live threat intel feed to work off.
- It's a free product! Yes, it doesn't have all the capabilities of the USM anywhere, but it does a great job. Can't really complain.
- The only investment here is setting it up and I think seeing it's performance it's a fantastic tool and has a great positive ROI!
