Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Security Event Manager (SEM)
We use SEM as our primary logging solution for all network infrastructure devices (switches, routers, WLCs, etc). The software allows us to track changes, identify issues, and it helps us stay compliant with insurance requirements. Particularly useful is the ability to send e-mail notifications when a critical event has occurred.
Pros
- Logging network devices and servers
- Searching Historical Events
- Notifications and custom rules
Cons
- Sometimes get duplicate log entries for the same event
- There is a moderate learning curve for setup and maintenance
