Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Security Event Manager (SEM)

We use SEM to collect and analyze events from servers and routers. We can find the issues, like incorrect user logon and most port visit on router from SEM reports.
  • quickly find top logon failure user, which is suspect of malware infection
  • easily find most visited port on the routers to find possible attack
  • SEM traffic type sort report is useful tool to control unnecessary network usage
  • wish SEM could update by itself

  • save time
  • central manager of events
  • avoid server failure of out of space
SEM is a good software to collect all the events and be a platform to have a view of the whole network status, instead of connecting to each server, find a clue from thousands of events. SEM also keeps a history of events and save space on each server, avoiding server defective while free space is consumed by huge event log files.
