How does OSSEC compare to Tripwire

[Christopher Moraes]

Hi,

Has anyone looked at Tripwire and whether OSSEC (agents) can be used in place of Tripwire?   

I looked at the main features of Tripwire Enterprise 

1.  File Integrity Monitoring - present in OSSEC

2.  Policy Manager (??)

3.  Enterprise Remediation Manager  (??)

I have not used Tripwire and hence would like to know what additional features are present in Tripwire (as compared to OSSEC).

Thanks and regards,

Chris

Chris,

You are going down the spiral that stops in a web of marketing speil. Don't compare features of an overpriced behemoth with a nimble open source product that does what it does very well.

First of all list out the facilities that you (a) need and (b) would like to have and then look at the products that will meet your technical and economic criteria.
