SIEM Decisions: OSSIM vs ELK, OSSEC vs rsyslog / tail / curl

Before dropping A LOT of money on a commercial SIEM installation, consider your open source options.

OSSIM and / or ELK are your most prevalent open source SIEM solutions.  ELK is the preferred deployment due to ease of use / deployment, as well as being less resource intensive.

Beyond SIEM, most organizations need to feed these log analyzers.  While OSSEC is an option, rsyslog / tail / curl is preferred as most orgs that have adept engineering teams are comfortable with open source solutions / scripting.
