SolarWinds Threat Monitor has been utilized by numerous users to protect their networks against a wide range of threats, including spam, hacking, cyber threats, and viruses. This unique SIEM tool has proven to be highly effective in detecting, responding, and reporting on managed networks. Customers have praised the product for its ease of deployment and use when onboarding new users to the threat monitoring system. Moreover, Managed Service Providers have found great value in leveraging SolarWinds Threat Monitor to support multiple clients by identifying vulnerabilities and providing tailored security solutions.
SolarWinds Threat Monitor excels in monitoring log events and providing comprehensive security breakdowns to clients. By doing so, it helps them understand where vulnerabilities exist within their network infrastructure and suggests effective ways to address these vulnerabilities. Another advantage of this solution is that it is a standalone cloud-based product with zero footprint on users' infrastructure. This feature has empowered users to deploy the software in AWS, covering their entire environment and gaining crucial visibility into network traffic, logs, and compliance.
In addition to protecting against cyber threats, SolarWinds Threat Monitor also proves invaluable in monitoring various network issues such as node outages and network problems. Users rely on the product to oversee critical components of their infrastructure - servers, workstations, switches, and routers - ensuring constant availability. The system promptly notifies users about any outages or network problems, offering visibility at the communications level. This increased visibility has provided users with great insight into their network's performance and continues to be instrumental in monitoring critical components effectively.

An excellent software for monitoring your network.
We are currently using Solar Winds to monitor the critical components of our infrastructure, those critical components. In our use case, the system notifies us by showing outages at the communications level as well as network problems that are occurring at a given time. We continue to use this software today as it has given us great visibility.
- Network monitoring.
- Alert by mail of the events that occur.
- Visually it is very friendly.
- It is easy to configure.
- They can lower the prices of the licenses a little.
- If we can set up a cloud console for monitoring that would be great.
- They should improve the discovery system as it adds a lot of things that I don't want to monitor.
- Network monitoring.
- Alert by mail of the events that occur.
- Visually it is very friendly.
- It is easy to configure.
- The positive impact that this system has on our company is that it has saved us a lot of expenses when it comes to investigating what the bank's network and systems are.
- This saving translates into administrators' time when it comes to finding the problem quickly, expeditiously, and effectively.
- It has helped us a lot and we have even required fewer hours from external providers when it comes to solving a problem.
To be honest, we currently have managed engine net Flow analyzer and together with SolarWinds, they are two powerful tools for network monitoring.
We use the managing engine net Flow analyzer because its licenses are cheaper and we monitor less critical systems and networks with this software.
When implementing monitoring software on the network, they have to take into account the number of devices they are going to monitor.

SolarWinds Threat Monitor delivers what is says
We've used SolarWinds for a few years to protect our district against threats from spam, hacking, cyberthreats, and viruses.
- monitoring
- notification systems
- virus attack monitoring
- ability to shut down systems when it senses an imminent threat
- lower pricing or bundling of prices
- nonprofit/governmental discounting
- immediate notification system
- strong, communicative customer service
- solid reporting systems
- positive impact on staffing effectiveness
- positive impact on protection from threats
- notable impact on business continuity as a result of the protection
We selected SolarWinds after reviewing a few products. It came highly regarded by another district, as many of our neighboring districts were looking for stronger safety measures after another experienced a ransomware attack. It was selected because the customer service was highly toted and the strength of the programs was noted by other districts.

Good security tool for the price
We use MSP Threat Monitor for multiple clients that we support in an MSP capacity. We use it to find any vulnerabilities. Find some possible security solutions. Monitor log events, and provide security breakdowns to the client. We try to show where they are vulnerable and how we can address those issues going forward.
- Nice reporting features.
- Able to brand it for your company.
- Easy to use interface.
- Steep learning curve.
- Usually takes a bit to get the scans to run easily in a new environment.
- Could have more reporting options.
- Great to use as a tool to plan how to improve their environment.
- The ongoing monitoring is good for clients with sensitive data.
- Having intrusion detection in the same tool makes it nice.
While things like Tripwire and Nessus may have some more options, Threat monitor does a good job in a slicker package. Tripwire offers a lot more in-depth scanning and revert capabilities. However, it also requires a little more overhead with the agents, etc. Threat monitor while it takes a little bit to learn, becomes pretty easy once you get over that learning curve.

Threat Monitor - New boy on the block
Threat Monitor is a standalone product from Solarwinds, that doesn't integrate into the main core installation, it is cloud based which means zero footprint on your infrastructure. We currently have threat monitor deployed in AWS, and it's covering our whole environment. It gives us visibility into network traffic, logs and compliance.
- Cloud based so no footprint
- Log collection and correlation allowing analysis
- Log archiving
- Very scalable with a low cost
- Its a fairly new product and its lacking some of the features of more established vendors
- Log searching can be a little chaotic at times
- Some limitations - which I believe are being addressed in the next release
- We're now able to archive our logs, in the cloud and search through events with relative ease. Previously we would have to trawl through servers.
- Alarm intrusion allows us to respond to threats before, rather than after they have occurred.
Threat Monitor is very new on the scene. Its obviously not at the same level as some of the established vendors yet. We also deploy Alienvault for example and its nowhere near the same level as this, however the cost model between these two products reflects that. Alienvault however does have a physical footprint on the environment, whereas Threat Monitor doesnt. If you have the paitence to wait, Threat Monitor will surely only improve over time.
