Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have a group of servers that reside in Microsoft Azure as well as on-premise. SEM allows us to centrally manage these servers for both security risks as well as general events that we may otherwise miss. With the SEM technology, we are able to spend more time where it is needed and rely on SEM to notify us of any potential issues or threats.

Pros and Cons

Steady monitor of server activity.
Notifications for events logged which we have alerts set for.
Ease of use.

I believe it is currently doing everything it needs to for my needs.
