- DivvyCloud, by Rapid7, Meta Networks and from Proofpoint
We picked SolarWinds because of the better price point, integration with other SolarWinds products, and the ease of training. Because we were already familiar with the SolarWinds way of doing alerts and reports, it made this product a nice fit for our company and it has great capabilities built in to give our team a feeling of being more secure and to help deter possible attackers.
Slick UI, great features, just a little difficult to set up

This was recommended to us by a vendor. As we were using other SolarWinds products, we did not analyze many options.
