Overall Satisfaction with Security Onion
Security Onion has been the best platform we found to use for alerting, hunting, and tracking of various security vulnerabilities. It is OpenSource and supported by a community of like minded users. The GUI is straight forward and easy to work with. There is even the ability to use an appliance from Security Onion, though we have not had a need to use it yet.
- GUI

- Dashboards
- Makes Alert Triage easier to handle
- Analysis of threats simple
- SolarWinds Loggly and SolarWinds Log Analyzer (LA)
Other vendors may have a more robust solution but for our needs, Security Onion was the one to move forward with. We have tested some of the others but the cost of those platforms makes the ROI not as desirable. There is a learning curve with Security Onion but it is worth it for the value provided.
