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 security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."
"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
"The scalability of SolarWinds Security Event Manager is good."
"User-friendly configuration is key, and the configurations are simple, not complex."
"The reporting and alerting capabilities are really nice."
"SolarWinds Security Event Manager has been generally working well."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is intuitivity of navigation; it's easy to build rules and actions which are based on the logs and event types we collect with the software."
"SolarWinds is effective for server, network, and log monitoring. It's also good for IP address management. We also have a patch manager, but we're still working on getting that operational."
"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."
"It has in-depth monitoring capabilities and an easy way for setting up dashboards. I can expand in various areas, or I can reduce areas. It supports different types of breakdowns, filters, and rules. It is very simple for an out-of-the-box type of product. It doesn't take a lot of time to figure it out, which is unlike some of the solutions that I have looked at. It meets all the aspects."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
"The solution's technical support is okay, but we don't have an SLA, and sometimes the response times are very slow."
"The solution was a little slow when running some larger queries."
"Not very scalable in my opinion. That's why I'm investigating new SIEM replacement."
"Training for this solution needs to be improved, as new employees are sometimes unfamiliar with the product."
"There are no multiple dashboards which would allow you to see information side-by-side."
"The query capability in this solution needs improvement."
"The log analyzing capability of SolarWinds Security Event Manager should go into more depth than the current environment."
"It is a very technical program. They can simplify it so that it isn't so hard to deal with."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it 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."
"Licenses can only be purchased in blocks of fifty at a time."
"The price of SolarWinds Security Event Manager is reasonable."
"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 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."
"Licensing is on devices, so if you have many, then this may be high."
