The review can be made anonymous if just my name and not the company name is used. I would assess the real-time visibility for my organization as somewhat real-time, but it's not fully real-time. The reporting functionality is excellent and customizable. ConnectWise SIEM performs effectively for compliance management efforts. The proactive monitoring and automated alerting systems with ConnectWise SIEM are good because we keep track of the logs and events taking place. However, it's somewhat direct and not overly real-time. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate ConnectWise SIEM a 6 due to its limitations and costs, compared to Wazuh which I would rate an 8.
My advice would be to ensure that they have a user in place and to prioritize cloud protection. I faced some engineering challenges because anyone can enter the cloud, and when changes happen, nobody realizes it. But with every person inside the cloud, it is noticed and resolved quickly. So, it's important to have cloud protection in place. I think ConnectWise Fortify could work on covering more areas, like phishing messages, which have become more complicated to detect. However, it works well with Microsoft Defender inside the cloud, and we are satisfied with the product. Overall, I would rate the product a ten out of ten.
