"We haven't had any stability issues.""It basically helps us. We have to stay in compliance with certain issues with some of our customers. We have to have these types of tools in place for protecting our network and our data. We're in the aerospace industry, so we have a lot of defense contracts. So, all those guys will make sure that we're protecting their information, and it does a good job in that aspect.""The most valuable feature is that this solution is more secure than others, and there are more applications and features as well.""The reports that you can run are really nice.""It is easier to deploy than are other SIEMs, which is great. You can also get an overview of your environment, which is very handy.""You can have all of the logs from servers to network and it gets sent out to the correct owners. This is very helpful.""The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward.""ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."

Cons
"When comparing AlienVault OSSIM to other solutions it looks a bit outdated. Additionally, they need to improve their integration.""They can add more compliance templates.""Sometimes technical issues take very long to get resolved.""The solution is not scalable.""AlienVault OSSIM on-premise version is more difficult to implement than the cloud version. Additionally, they should add integration between several different environments at once and improve their online knowledge base.""It's so hard to configure and explore something new on it.""Lacking in depth of reporting.""The price of this solution is very high and it could be cheaper."

More AlienVault OSSIM Cons →

"Their technical support should be improved.""It takes a little bit of time for Log360 to actually learn your environment.""The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed.""It is not expensive compared to other solutions.""The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved.""It's difficult to find which conditions have been applied to a report because they are provided by default by ManageEngine. However, with other SIEMs if you want to create a report, they provide details, like which conditions are triggering certain reports. This needs to be there in ManageEngine. It would be good to know which parameter has been applied to the report that is updating the system.""Most times log sheets are not assigned well.""The solution lacks some features when compared to other products."

    Overview

    AlienVault OSSIM, Open Source Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), provides you with a feature-rich open source SIEM complete with event collection, normalization and correlation. Launched by security engineers because of the lack of available open source products, AlienVault OSSIM was created specifically to address the reality many security professionals face: A SIEM, whether it is open source or commercial, is virtually useless without the basic security controls necessary for security visibility.

    Log360 is your one-stop solution for all log management and network security challenges. It is an integrated solution that combines EventLog Analyzer and ADAudit Plus into a single console to help you manage your Active Directory auditing and network security easily.
