No reason to use this service
I was not able to get any thing working; Kept getting error messages every time I tried to connect to the instance. I'm sure there is a reason to use this but so far there just is no reason.
Free + Free = Fee
Using a free software package on a AWS free tier incurs cost, albeit not much. A bit vexing for a learning environment but I suppose its the price one pays for free. just my two cents but; Wouldn't Amazon benefit from having this service being run in their environments by encouraging developers to develop the most economical solutions?
Broken
I concur with the previous reviewer. The OSSIM AMI doesn't appear to be maintained or supported. The database errors do eventually go away but applying updates renders the UI unusable. Queries about the AMI go unanswered on the OSSIM forums.
This is a shame. A good product on physical hardware which doesn't seem to have made the leap to the cloud.
Not so good
Ossim is a great product.
Anyhow when I tried it in AWS it is not that great.
It constantly has errors with the database, it is slow (anyhow it has plenty of resources) and it is not working that nice.
Another problem I've seen is that it only has the option to mount on very large instances which is not great for making labs or just monitoring some small servers (It is expensive to have online).
OSSIM is great, anyhow it is better to install on your hardware (or virtual appliance) and not on AWS (at least yet).
Hope they can improve compatibility (speed, etc.) and other issues.
