SolarWinds Security Event Manager Scalability

Akram Zaki Hussein - PeerSpot reviewer
System and Network Administrator at El Sadat City Language School

Scalability poses a challenge, and I rate it a five out of ten. There is room for improvement in this aspect. It is safeguarding the entire network, including around one hundred and fifty devices and all the data housed on the servers.

I know that it is possible to scale the solution across multiple servers.

I rate SolarWinds Security Event Manager an eight out of ten for scalability.

The scalability depends on your hardware and the number of licenses you can purchase. SolarWinds has a license category called "Unlimited" that provides an unlimited number of probes for different locations. I think that's the one we purchased. However, the cost is way higher than our previous solution.

Its scalability is good now. Initially, we had some trouble with defining some of the hard drive things with ESXi.

Not very scalable in my opinion. That's why I'm investigating new SIEM replacement.

There are some scalability issues with SolarWinds. For example, whether it will be on-prem or on the cloud, there are several things we have to leave with the integrators. Many solutions are integrated. SolarWinds is not convenient enough to meet our current needs and it requires an upgrade, but I'm also thinking about some others. I believe that Azure is doing well as a cloud tool right now.

Our monitoring team has between fifteen and twenty users.

We do not have any new infrastructure, so we do not need to increase usage at this time.

The scalability is poor because of the licensing. Having to buy blocks of fifty licenses is not good for our business. Our model is that of a managed service provider and our customers are interested in adding two or three nodes at a time. We cannot just keep buying fifty licenses at a time.

Scaling is easy. You just have to add VMs.

ISO at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees

It is scalable. Altogether, we have about five actual users. I got myself as the administrator, and then there are a couple of people who do the monitoring. I have got 2,000 systems listed on it.

In terms of a team, I would say you need at least three people for what I am doing. I am using the key research logs and pulling data from these logs. For one person, it takes a lot of time to do what I am doing right now.

I don't think that this solution would do well for very large organizations. For smaller organizations, it should be good.

We have approximately three hundred users. The users are a mixture of programmers, system engineers, database administrators, and others in our IT company. 

When we were doing the scoping we left room to grow, I don't expect that we will be expanding our usage anytime soon.

This is a scalable solution. We have deployed it both in Windows and Linux environments.
