We performed a comparison between AlienVault OSSIM and Logpoint based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"The tool's security detection is good. It helps us with login tracking and generating reports. We aim to identify potential issues, such as brute-force attacks on user accounts or server-level anomalies. For instance, if I receive a report indicating a server is at an abnormal level, I investigate and address the issue."
"The paid version of the solution has reporting and better scalability options."
"You can customize the dashboards as well as the reporting."
"Asset discovery is good."
"The initial setup was straightforward. I didn't have any problems."
"The threat alerts it gives me from time to time on harmful code within the network, or if they are generating any network traffic, are very useful."
"AlienVault OSSIM is an enterprise solution that sells easily. It is rated highly by organizations."
"You pay monthly for the solution. I think it's one of the best products. If you compare with other companies, like LogRhythm, etc., the top 8 or 10 CMs, I think Alien Vault has the best price-performance ratio."
"We like the user and entity behaviour analytics (UEBA) and find it valuable."
"The most valuable features are the ones that we use the most, which are the search and report facilities."
"It is a very comprehensive solution for gathering data. It has got a lot of capabilities for collecting logs from different systems. Logs are notoriously difficult to collect because they come in all formats. LogPoint has a very sophisticated mechanism for you to be able to connect to or listen to a system, get the data, and parse it. Logs come in text formats that are not easily parseable because all logs are not the same, but with LogPoint, you can define a policy for collecting the data. You can create a parser very quickly to get the logs into a structured mechanism so that you can analyze them."
"Technical support is responsive and very friendly."
"The most beneficial was being able to prove, with proper reports, that from a compliance perspective, the company is in control. The service part of LogPoint did modifications or did some additional work to have the proper reports defined."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is the combination of the software and the support that they have."
"It is an AI technology because it is using machine learning technology. So far, there is nothing better out there for UEBA in terms of monitoring endpoints and user activity. It is using machine learning language, so it is right at the top. It provides that capability and monitors all the activities. It devises a baseline and monitors if there is any deviation from the baseline."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"I suggest more in-built rules based on modern threats and environments to make it a more competitive solution."
"The user interface could be improved."
"They can add more compliance templates."
"It's so hard to configure and explore something new on it."
"GUI could be improved."
"The correlation engine needs to be improved."
"When comparing AlienVault OSSIM to other solutions it looks a bit outdated. Additionally, they need to improve their integration."
"It's under heavy traffic. If you have heavy traffic, the system is slow."
"The solution should offer more integrations and third-party solutions like incident response platforms or allow access to third-party big data"
"Sometimes, the product is not stable."
"One of the things we faced last year was that we had some memory issues with the server running. We were running them as virtual services, and we were facing some performance issues. Back then, there were some things that had already been solved at the end, but one of the small issues we had was that it was quite memory-consuming. After one upgrade that we did, we faced some performance issues."
"In terms of functionality, it is very good. The only issue is the documentation. Its documentation should be improved."
"The interface needs things like wizards that will assist with creating complex correlation rules."
"I know that they have user behavior analytics, but it's an extra cost for this feature. It would be nice if it was in with the standard products."
"LogPoint must find a way to integrate the servers without agents."
"One of the downsides is it is not a SaaS solution. It must be on-premises."
