Great for PCI compliance but issues with stability and large amounts of data
I mainly use this solution to meet PCI compliance The automation of compliance reports and the correlation of the log have been major improvements.  The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance. The correlation suite needs to be improved. I also think they need to…

Has supported client needs efficiently but requires deeper analysis features and faster support
The log analyzing capability of SolarWinds Security Event Manager should go into more depth than the current environment. More modification and enhancements are required on the dashboard side in order to make it closer to optimal performance. From observation and feedback from users, they need more functionality related to monitoring, and in-depth analyzing needs to be improved.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance."
"File integrity monitoring is a very important function."
"The FIM features in the Change Tracker and the Log Tracker are the most valuable."
"This is a very easy-to-use interface with a quick ramp-up time."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting."
"This tool is simple to use."
"The product's most effective part in improving security stems from the fact that the solution is deployed for event management, log viewing, and information management."
"Some of the rules are most valuable because you can be notified about various things, such as spyware or things that are going on in the internal network."
"User-friendly configuration is key, and the configurations are simple, not complex."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use for the end user."
"It's extremely easy to deploy."
"SolarWinds' stability is fine. I don't think we've had any software issues."
 

Cons

"The correlation suite needs to be improved."
"It is able to identify the vulnerability, however, they need an option to auto-mitigate."
"I would like to see the integration of AI technology, so rather than manually monitoring the logs, the tool will understand it and take care of it."
"Only one minor deployment issue came up and it was resolved quickly. No other areas of improvement come to mind yet."
"There is no correlation made between log entries, so no threat information is presented."
"There are no multiple dashboards which would allow you to see information side-by-side."
"I don't think SolarWinds is scalable enough. It is somewhat limited when I need to deploy it across multiple environments in a distributed architecture."
"The reporting could be more robust. It can be a lot more granular and that will make it a lot more useful in comparison to how it is incorporated at the moment."
"One of the drawbacks of being so flexible is that it is also a fairly complicated software application to install, configure, and maintain."
"It won't tell you when your backups are failing, but it will give you hints when your database is running on full recovery."
"It is a very technical program. They can simplify it so that it isn't so hard to deal with."
"The company had to use a third party for the implementation of the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"NNT's pricing is moderate - I would rate their pricing two-and-a-half out of ten."
"We have selected a perpetual license along with support."
"Consider both their on-premises solution and their hosted solution. Both are reasonably priced."
"Licensing is on devices, so if you have many, then this may be high."
"Licenses can only be purchased in blocks of fifty at a time."
"The pricing model would benefit from having package deals with other SolarWinds products."
"It is in the appropriate mid-range. It is not as expensive as some of the other solutions. It is also not cheap."
"The price of SolarWinds Security Event Manager is reasonable."
"We do a yearly license renewal. For a year, the solution costs roughly $500,000 USD. There are no costs beyond this yearly fee."
"The tool is available at a good price for customers compared to other solutions in the market. I rate the product's price as an eight out of ten."
