Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox."
"It basically helps us. We have to stay in compliance with certain issues with some of our customers. We have to have these types of tools in place for protecting our network and our data. We're in the aerospace industry, so we have a lot of defense contracts. So, all those guys will make sure that we're protecting their information, and it does a good job in that aspect."
"The reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already."
"We haven't had any stability issues."
"It is nice to be able to monitor and to have notifications."
"The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."
"The reports that you can run are really nice."
"It is easier to deploy than are other SIEMs, which is great. You can also get an overview of your environment, which is very handy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the visibility into both attempted and failed logins."
"The solution helps me to go back in time and search for different events. For example, if you wanted to know who activated an account; you could go back in time and find out."
"It has in-depth monitoring capabilities and an easy way for setting up dashboards. I can expand in various areas, or I can reduce areas. It supports different types of breakdowns, filters, and rules. It is very simple for an out-of-the-box type of product. It doesn't take a lot of time to figure it out, which is unlike some of the solutions that I have looked at. It meets all the aspects."
"The solution helps you monitor database instances, application instances, other customer application things, Linux servers, IBM servers, and Oracle servers."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Security Event Manager is the analysis and the knowledge about the incidence that we trace."
"It's extremely easy to deploy."
"It's easy to build rules and actions based on the logs and event types we collect with the software."
"The out of the box reports and dashboard. It was easy to trim down these windows to something we could quickly use."
"The graphical interface could be made easier to use when you are connecting to different network equipment."
"The integration with SharePoint and Teams should be improved."
"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."
"On the logging system, there's a local on-client side that is encrypted, and there's one that is not encrypted. It is only for diagnostical purposes. However, both being encrypted would be very valuable for some audits."
"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities."
"We can log in as a local user, and it's fine, but when we login with an Active Directory user, we cannot."
"The solution lacks some features when compared to other products."
"SolarWinds should improve its correlation capabilities. The correlation does not automatically detect and reduce the events fast enough. You have to manually do a correlation report, which means the tool is not scalable in many ways."
"One of the drawbacks of being so flexible is that it is also a fairly complicated software application to install, configure, and maintain."
"The reporting could be more robust. It can be a lot more granular and that will make it a lot more useful in comparison to how it is incorporated at the moment."
"The solution's technical support is okay, but we don't have an SLA, and sometimes the response times are very slow."
"The only issue is the pricetag. SolarWinds is a costly solution."
"The product should improve the ease with which you can create event alerts. They are not as hard now but you need to have an easier way."
"I imagine we will have to develop our own reports soon, this seems to be more cumbersome."
"There is no correlation made between log entries, so no threat information is presented."
