OSSIM platform cover-up security operations for SMB customers with all the features available in leading SIEM solutions. It had as many correlation rules that were most sufficient to correlate with leading vendors to make analyst jobs easy. simple deployment and user-friendly architecture make complex things too easy with OSSIM except the fact that build with freeware tools and depends patches on it.
OSSIM SIEM platform is very unique compared to other leading SIEM platforms. As part of security operations adding assets, correlation rules on logs, and performing Vulnerability Assessments, etc.. are simple and more effective because of their simple architecture it was easy to work around and create workflows.
OSSIM lacks when it comes to normalizing raw logs into SIEM events. It lacks in new emerging device logs as there needs to be a plugin. It is built on most of the freeware tools so it was always a challenge for enterprise customers.

It made my work easy compared to earlier, where I used to put lot of effort and time. It si a user friendyl software. All in all I would recommend alientvault OSSIM to my colleagues and anyone who is looking for a open source security information and event management system.
Easy to access is what makes the software worth trying. It can be accessed by web, any devices, workstations and so on. It makes easy to identify issues like network vulnerabilities, attacks and user behaviors.
Free version doesn't seems to have all the capabilities and has limitations with the access .

Ease to use and integration with multiple vendors is easy
Database overloading is much concern, need to have a gui function in much more simple way to identify and resolve this issue
