SolarWinds Security Event Manager Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Enterprise Cloud Infrastructure Engineer at Safaricom4.0Integrating SolarWinds Security Event Manager with other teams was quick, taking one or two days for infrastructure deployment, but networking all service centers required two to three weeks. While threat detection works well, enhancing those features would ease my workload.
CEO at Greeneris Sp. z o.o.4.0I use SolarWinds Security Event Manager to monitor our network and correlate data. While it's cost-effective and meets our on-premises requirements, it needs improved customization, especially with third-party vendors, and an enhanced UI for the on-premise version.
SQL Server and MongoDB DBA at KVK3.5I use SolarWinds Security Event Manager to monitor various IT components, including Windows, SQL, and IBM servers, appreciating its versatility. However, its complexity makes installation and maintenance challenging, requiring significant effort to standardize monitoring configurations.
System and Network Administrator at El Sadat City Language School4.0I began using SolarWinds Security Event Manager due to job requirements. It's an effective tool for threat management with a user-friendly interface, but installation is challenging, costly, and compatibility with other software is limited, impacting overall adaptability.
Software Engineer at a comms service provider with 51-200 employees4.0We use SolarWinds Security Event Manager primarily for centralized log collection to meet audit requirements. It's effective in server, network, and log monitoring, but costly. We switched from PRTG due to its lack of comprehensive features for audit compliance.
