    Chose SolarWinds Security Event Manager (SEM)
    The first reason is the ease of installation. Unlike competitor, SEM was running and partially deployed within a day. With the defaults already in the SEM, it's super easy to get result quickly, without a consultant. Also, it's not too resource-intensive, and does not …

    Logsign SIEM is well suited for organizations that need quick deployment, and do not need very skilled specialists, everything is easy and intuitive. And with the new license model, it is a very affordable solution. It has everything that modern SOC needs nowadays, automated/semi-automated responses. There are also many plugins for the log source integration, possibilities to create custom your own plugin/logic

    Optimal for SolarWinds Security Event Manager needs for smaller companies - it is a very cool product but has some limitations around EPS (which gets chewed up quickly if you're doing it the right way & adding servers/storage/FW & other network devices)... Also pricing model is GREAT (not consumption-based, which is the greatest grift the SIEM industry has created).

    • It does a great job of notifying us when accounts have been locked out. We can then find out the device on the network where the login attempt occurred.
    • Searching for incidents is now a lot faster with the implementation of the HTML 5 interface.

    • All SolarWinds product suffer from slow response times in management portals. SolarWinds SEM is no exception. While it is much preferred over a "thick client" there is much room for improvement in speed.
    • If you use the email alert features with SolarWinds make sure to prepare you staff and team for the large amount of emails they could receive. Make sure to reduce the number of alerts so your team does not ignore the alerts.

    It is pretty likely that we will renew SEM when the time comes up. It is easy to use and maintain so there isn't much of a need to replace this product. It is also a pretty fair price for the capabilities provided by the SEM

    If you are familiar with SolarWinds then you can use this product it's as easy as that. If you have never used a SolarWinds product then it will take a minute to get how they do reports and make dashboards but that being said the tool is great and can make things very easy once you get a feel for how it works and get everything setup how you like it.

    The quality of support can vary depending on whom you end up speaking with. I was fortunate enough to work with a support representative who was very familiar with the product. He had even authored some of the support documentation on the website. On the flip side, I had two other experiences where I was simply directed to online training material.

    Fortianalzyer can only do logs from FortiGate so usefulness is limited. Elasticsearch was a lot slower than Solarwinds and the filters were a lot harder to set up and use. The connectors for SEM were far more stable.

    • Within the first days of implementation, you have the big picture of what is happening in the organization's environment
    • The license model is very understandable and affordable for any organization even for the smaller ones who earlier could not afford robust SIEM solutions
    • Support is very responsive and skilled

    • For the price, it produced a decent value. It did a lot of the easy stuff well. I can't give any specific data given the objective of the product was to monitor very basic events in the environment.
    • There are free options that can do a better job.
