endpoint security significantly. Secondly, Wazuh

AlienVault OSSIM and Wazuh

AlienVault OSSIM review by a real user

Useful case management, simple configuration, but integration


could improve

Managing Director of Hytec (OLM Group


company) at OLM Group company

Steven Sheehy

WHAT IS OUR PRIMARY USE CASE?

We are using AlienVault OSSIM for our internal team to support a SOC capability.

WHAT IS MOST VALUABLE?

The most valuable features of AlienVault OSSIM are case management, ease of configuration, and investigation.

WHAT NEEDS IMPROVEMENT?

AlienVault OSSIM could improve by having better integration with some of the newer tools.

Ina future releases, it would be beneficial to modernize some of their UI features.

FOR HOW LONG HAVE I USED THE SOLUTION?

I used AlienVault OSSIM for approximately five years.

13
AlienVault OSSIM and Wazuh

Continued from previous page

WHAT DO I THINK ABOUT THE STABILITY OF THE SOLUTION?

The solution is stable. However, sometimes the UMS can disappear but overall the stability is good.

I rate the stability of AlienVault OSSIM a seven out of ten.

WHAT DO I THINK ABOUT THE SCALABILITY OF THE SOLUTION?

The solution scales well. Some of the volumes of data can be done in a way it can scale better.

I rare the scalability of AlienVault OSSIM an eight out of ten.

HOW ARE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SUPPORT?

I rate the stability of AlienVault OSSIM a seven out of ten.

WHICH SOLUTION DID I USE PREVIOUSLY AND WHY DID I SWITCH?

I have utilized Microsoft Sentinel, which includes a case management system. This system requires the creation of rule sets
using KQL and is primarily pre-configured with AlienVault OSSIM. However, we have made some interesting customizations to
enhance its functionality.

HOW WAS THE INITIAL SETUP?

The initial setup of AlienVault OSSIM is straightforward. The deployment takes a few days.

I rate the initial setup of AlienVault OSSIM a seven out of ten.

14
AlienVault OSSIM and Wazuh

Continued from previous page

WHAT'S MY EXPERIENCE WITH PRICING, SETUP COST, AND LICENSING?

When comparing AlienVault OSSIM to Microsoft Sentinel, AlienVault OSSIM incurs additional costs due to its licensing price
structure. If you are using AlienVault for security purposes at a certain level it can have a higher price point than the current
pricing of Microsoft Sentinel.

WHAT OTHER ADVICE DO I HAVE?

My advice to others would be to do the webinars and stay as standard as possible.

It is simple to configure and use this system as it calculates all the necessary components. Looking ahead, it is crucial for
Microsoft to maintain its position in the top quadrant, as determined by Gartner, considering the investments made by both
Google and Microsoft in this space.

I rate AlienVault OSSIM a seven out of ten.

AlienVault OSSIM and Wazuh

Wazuh review by a real user

It integrates seamlessly with AWS cloud-native services

Manager Cloud Security Operations at


TraceLink, Inc.

Vikrant Puranik

WHAT IS OUR PRIMARY USE CASE?

Our company only has a small five-person team working with Wazuh. We wanted a log management solution that we
could deploy onto our cloud, so we deployed Wazuh on Kubernetes and integrated different log sources into a centralized
logging solution.

The second use case is log searching. We wanted a usable integrated search, and Wazuh a good search integrated usable.
Wazuh has support for Elasticsearch, which provides searching capabilities. Cost-effectiveness was important for us,
and Wazuh is a top open source solution. 

WHAT IS MOST VALUABLE?

Wazuh's logging features integrate seamlessly with AWS cloud-native services. There are also Wazuh agent configurations for
different use cases, like vulnerability scanning, host-based intrusion detection, and file integrity monitoring. 

WHAT NEEDS IMPROVEMENT?

Scalability is a constraint in the on-prem version of Wazuh in terms of the volume of logs we can manage. There are some
minor glitches, but that's part of every tool, and they usually get addressed in subsequent updates.

I would like to see more Kubernetes security and log integrations. That will be one of the good things. Wazuh supports AWS
or GCP cloud-native service integration, but it would be great if they added support for Kubernetes security and AWS or
Azure-managed Kubernetes solutions. 

16
AlienVault OSSIM and Wazuh

Continued from previous page

FOR HOW LONG HAVE I USED THE SOLUTION?

We've used Wazuh for two years.

WHAT DO I THINK ABOUT THE STABILITY OF THE SOLUTION?

Wazuh is pretty stable. There are no major issues, but sometimes we face minor glitches. It's open source, so we can't expect
every bug to be documented. We discover some new issues from time to time, but that's part of using an open-source
solution. You pay for a licensed product or you deal with minor problems in open source. 

WHAT DO I THINK ABOUT THE SCALABILITY OF THE SOLUTION?

Wazuh's scalability has room for improvement.

HOW ARE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SUPPORT?

We paid for technical support, but they do have a robust community and Slack channels and all that stuff. You can find most of
the answers you need in the community groups or forums. I rate Wazuh support eight out of 10. 

WHICH SOLUTION DID I USE PREVIOUSLY AND WHY DID I SWITCH?

I worked with Splunk, Curator, ArcSight, and some legacy solutions that no longer exist. They became obsolete or transitioned
to a different product. Cost-effectiveness was one reason we switched. We had to decide whether to spend $500,000 on a
commercial product or rely on our skills to deploy an open-source solution. 

The big difference between Wazuh and other solutions is maturity and customization. Wazuh's scalability and out-of-the-box
functionality are slightly lagging behind, but Wazuh has improved a lot since the first time we saw it. Others have more search
capabilities, whereas Wazuh depends on Elasticsearch. Searching is a bit slower in Wazuh.

17
AlienVault OSSIM and Wazuh

Continued from previous page

HOW WAS THE INITIAL SETUP?

I rate the Wazuh setup experience nine out of 10. The basic setup was straightforward, but our deployment was slightly
complex because we did a lot of customization. It took us a week to deploy and fine-tune the initial setups. After deployment,
the only maintenance task is rotating particular logs. If we don't rotate it correctly, the log storage runs out and services stop.

WHAT ABOUT THE IMPLEMENTATION TEAM?

Wazuh is open-source, so we didn't have a support person or any professional services to help us. Fortunately, the
documentation is excellent, and they have good community support as well.

WHAT'S MY EXPERIENCE WITH PRICING, SETUP COST, AND LICENSING?

Wazuh is an open-source solution, so the only expenses are Elasticsearch and log storage costs. Log storage costs no
more than $20,000 to $30,000 annually. It's around $3,000 a month. It's all money in the bank. We don't have to spend
anything except for resources. 

WHAT OTHER ADVICE DO I HAVE?

I rate Wazuh nine out of 10. It's a powerful tool, and you can do lots of things with it. Wazuh is a good choice if you're on a tight
budget, but you need to have an enterprise-level SIEM deployment.

If someone doesn't know how to manage large-scale log management solutions, you should start small and grow your
experience. You can start with Wazuh and switch to an enterprise solution once you start scaling up. 

WHICH DEPLOYMENT MODEL ARE YOU USING FOR THIS SOLUTION?

Bar length
The total ranking of a product in a category, represented by the bar length, is based on a weighted aggregate score. The score is calculated
using the following factors:
ul>
li>Comparisons Views: the product with the highest number of comparisons with other products-in-the-category gets a
maximum of 25 points. Every other product gets assigned points based on its total in proportion to the #1 product
in that ranking factor. For example, if a product has 80% of the number of comparison views compared to the
product with the most reviews then the product's points for reviews would be 25 * 80%./li>
li>Views: We calculate the number of Views based on the percentage of category comparisons out of the total comparisons of the
product./li>
ul>
li>For example, if a product has 100 Comparisons with other products in the category and a total of 1,000 Comparisons,
the product will be assigned 10% of the total number of Views. If the product has a total of 2,000 Views,
it will be assigned 200 Views for this ranking factor./li>

the product will be assigned 10% of the total number of Views. If the product has a total of 2,000 Views,
it will be assigned 200 Views for this ranking factor./li>
/ul>
li>Reviews: the product with the highest number of reviews gets a maximum of 15 points. Every other product gets assigned points
based on its total in proportion to the #1 product in that ranking factor. For example, if a product has 80% of the number of
reviews compared to the product with the most reviews then the product's points for reviews would be 15 * 80%./li>

About this report


This report is comprised of a list of enterprise level Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) vendors. We have also included
several real user reviews posted on peerspot.com. The reviewers of these products have been validated as real users based on their
LinkedIn profiles to ensure that they provide reliable opinions and not those of product vendors.

About PeerSpot
The Internet has completely changed the way we make buying decisions. We now use ratings and review sites to see what other real users
think before we buy electronics, book a hotel, visit a doctor or choose a restaurant. But in the world of enterprise technology, most of the
information online and in your inbox comes from vendors but what you really want is objective information from other users.

We created PeerSpot to provide technology professionals like you with a community platform to share information about enterprise software,
applications, hardware and services.
