AlienVault OSSIM vs DNIF HYPERCLOUD comparison

"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."

"There are a lot of people you will find using OSSIM since they are also offering OTX as a service"

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

"You can customize the dashboards as well as the reporting."

"The most valuable feature is the logging capability."

"It has helped us remediate threats in the past by providing significant events that assisted in identifying suspicious activities, such as logins from multiple countries."

"With AlienVault you get everything in one box."

"Inbuilt IDS, inbuilt integration with threat intelligence platform and with vulnerability assessment modules."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the number of EPS it can handle."

"I like the MITRE table, a feature I saw for the first time in the same solution. There was one MITRE tactic table, which can be used to identify threats if you have all kinds of rules enabled or if you have rules for all the tactics in the MITRE table. There are 14 tables in MITRE, and those 14 tables consist of multiple columns, tactics, and techniques. It was one of the first SIEM tools I saw that had that particular MITRE table. On that basis, you can create new rules and identify existing ones. At any point, if an alert is triggered, it will try to match it to any of those MITRE tactics. I liked that creating a workbook on MITRE business was straightforward. I also like that you can search using SQL or DQL."

"The response time on queries is super-fast."

"The dashboard is helpful, and it creates visualizations to let staff review event data and identify patterns and anomalies."

"The solution is quite stable and offers good performance. It also works on a virtual machine. We haven't found any issues with it so far. It's been reliable."

"Great for scaling productivity for log monitoring purposes."

"The User Behavior Analytics is a built-in threat-hunting feature. It detects and reports on any kind of malware or ransomware that enters the network."

"The beauty of the solution is that you can develop infrastructure for a data lake using open sources that are separate from the licenses."

"The solution is not scalable."

"AlienVault OSSIM’s configuration and integration could be a little easier."

"I don't like to work on OSSIM because it is unpredictable."

"The incidence reporting could be better."

"The main area where the AlienVault product was lacking around the 2018 timeframe was in its ability to scale."

"It takes some time. It does not give me a prompt response for any such [malicious] traffic. It takes time to get that alert from the AlienVault system."

"GUI could be improved."

"The solution needs more integration with cyber intelligence systems."

"The EBA could be improved."

"There are currently some issues with machine learning plug-ins."

"I feel that DNIF needs to invest more in marketing, considering that it operates at a very competitive speed."

"The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used."

"I think DNIF HYPERCLOUD can implement the ability to export more than 100,000. At the moment, we can't go beyond that. So many times, if you're checking for the firewall logs and working on something related to authentication or network-related traffic, while that log count is low, the account goes beyond that. You can't restrict the logs or the amount of data you can export. It's very important for my situation. It would be better if they could increase the capacity of exports. Although there are many more types of searching in DNIF HYPERCLOUD, people still struggle to query out what they want because not everyone is good at SQL or DQL. The easiest way to query out in DNIF is using the GUI-based interface. But in the GUI interface, you can use operator calls. It gets tricky when you want to search for a specific type of event. You don't know where it will be passed and whether it will be consistent. In the initial phase, it's tough for us to use DNIF. You cannot pass every event in a stable DNIF. When we used that particular tool, we used to get those logs, but sometimes many things are not getting passed. So, we used to export the sheet or export the data into Excel and weigh the required details. In the next release, I would like them to improve the export of the columns and make the application more user-friendly. I would also like a threat-hunting feature in the next release."

"The vendor is fairly new and it's not as big as some of the international competitors. It's not a mature product. If you ask them to move data, it might take a lot of time."

"Dependency on the DNIF support team was frustrating."

"The solution should be able to connect to endpoints, such as desktops and laptops... If this solution had a smart connector to these logs- Windows, Linux, or any other logs - without affecting the performance of the connector, that would be wonderful."

"I used the paid version of the tool and found it to be expensive. It has been a while since I changed to Securonix. I will have to check whether AlienVault charges per device, user, or log."

"AlienVault OSSIM is an open-source solution."

"AlienVault OSSIM is free."

"AlienVault pricing is the best. Whatever cost you are paying, you are getting a return on every penny... It's not like your IBM, your QRadar, or Splunk, where the cost is too high."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"We are using the community version, which can be used for free."

"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."

"OSSIM is open source, and USM is the paid license. So, if you want, you can switch to USM. There you will have to buy a license, and they have a support team that helps you out on issues you face."

"The solution requires a huge infrastructure and that is costly."

"The pricing is based on the log size."

"Price-wise, the product is quite economical. I rate the solution's price as three or four on a scale of one to ten, where one is considered to be a very economically priced tool."
