We use SolarWinds to comply with audit requirements because we must centralize all log collection. We don't use it on a day-to-day basis, but we employ it when we need to investigate, troubleshoot, monitor, or do anything else requiring a fixed-log or event management solution.

Initially, we had a five-person team, but we're still deploying it to other locations. The rest of the technical team will be using it, so ultimately, we will have around 50 users. I don't think there's a licensing limitation on the number of users who can access the system.

Its use case is to identify and help prevent and block known spyware or ransomware sites. Ransomware sites typically have bad IPs or domain names.

In terms of the version, I have had our clients log in and update the version a few times.

Director, Technical Architect at Archer Information Technology

Our installation is on-premises at the moment. We are a consultant group so we implement multiple solutions for different customers using a variety of different products. Some clients are in the Cloud, some on a WAN network and some are on-premises. SolarWinds LEM is one of the products we use for certain purposes and often recommend.  

I'm very technical. I work as a network and security technical architect. At the same time, I also own the company, so I'm the director. I still remain very technically involved with the solutions and the architecture for solutions, based on networks and security. SolarWinds is one of the products that I use, amongst many others to fit the needs of our customers which includes their budget, size, and industry.

The primary use case is for privilege account monitoring. It's monitoring admin accounts for things such as who logged in, where they logged in from, what time they logged in, and from what devices they used Remote desktop, with the privileged accounts.

It's a good tool to do troubleshooting, you can see extensive Info about Kerberos User Auth tickets or Windows Kerberos Machine Auth tickets, which can alert you to say , failing Kerberos Authentications due to incorrect NTP (Network time).

We use SolarWinds as a kind of SIEM solution, so I don't have other additional security needs. Lately, we've been exploring other solutions. We are a Managed Security Services Provider, and we have nine people predominantly working on that solution. We also have team members who work on multiple solutions.
