Featured Reviews

reviewer2805510 - PeerSpot reviewer
Partner Account Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 51-200 employees
Human-guided threat monitoring has delivered rapid, confident incident response and strong compliance
I believe Huntress Managed SIEM could be improved by increasing integrations with non-Microsoft solutions as this would broaden its appeal. A broader out-of-the-box solution for diverse environments including IoT, Mac OS, and Linux servers would be valuable. I would rate Huntress Managed SIEM an eight because a couple of things could be changed, such as having more integrations with non-Microsoft systems, improved customization on the dashboard, and enhanced reporting in the threat intelligence updates. Being unable to click on new niche variants of threats is another point I would mention, but overall an eight out of ten is a good score because I think it is a very well-priced solution for its capabilities and all the positives I have outlined. The eight rating is primarily influenced by those integration and customization points I mentioned, which are the main requests from customers.

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

"Huntress Managed SIEM is designed to make powerful threat detection, response, and compliance support accessible without the complexities and costs of traditional SIEMs."
"The customer support for Huntress Managed SIEM is top-notch."
"Huntress Managed SIEM has positively impacted my organization primarily by helping us help our customers achieve the compliance levels at which they are trying to achieve, and it also gives us additional information when we are reacting to security events that are presented from Huntress's SOC."
"Overall, I had a positive experience with Huntress Managed SIEM; the combination of twenty-four seven SOC monitoring, smart filtering, centralized visibility, and reduced tuning effort makes it easier for the team to focus on meaningful security incidents rather than managing the SIEM itself."
"Overall, Huntress Managed SIEM has been a positive addition to our security operations workflow."
"The single pane of glass management with the other security products we use from Huntress is incredibly valuable."
"If you want to secure your infrastructure and save a lot of time for your organization, you can use Huntress Managed SIEM."
"Huntress Managed SIEM has positively impacted our organization by helping us be more secure and more safe."
"It will identify things in your network that you just didn't know were going on."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the visibility into both attempted and failed logins."
"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."
"The graphical user interface is very user-friendly. SolarWinds is a hybrid solution so you can use it across many platforms."
"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 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 Security Event Manager has been generally working well."
"It performs network behavior monitoring, log monitoring, and disaster recovery monitoring."
 

Cons

"I would appreciate more features in the stack. I would like Huntress Managed SIEM to integrate with EDRs like SentinelOne to combine that level of intelligence and information into their stack so that they can leverage whatever protections the client has and gather that intelligence to help with the MDR side."
"Areas where Huntress Managed SIEM could improve include automated alert triage, events, threat intelligence context, endpoint visibility, detection and response workflows, log correlation, incident timeliness, integration with existing security tools, and reduced alert fatigue."
"There should be better exclusions of log types and the ability to exclude specific types of logs that might be using a lot of data."
"The scalability for SMEs and MSPs is noteworthy for a few hundred endpoints, but it struggles with scalability when dealing with high logs, multi-site, multi-tenant setups, and large volumes of endpoints, which poses a challenge."
"I think if Huntress Managed SIEM could check in a little bit faster, that would probably be the biggest thing for improving it."
"Huntress Managed SIEM can be improved with more integrations; that would always be great."
"Huntress Managed SIEM could do better in terms of improved UI and also in terms of making it more simple for users."
"The main improvement area is deeper customization; it would be helpful to have more flexibility for creating custom detection rules, dashboards, and alert workflows based on specific organizational requirements."
"The product should improve the ease with which you can create event alerts. They are not as hard now but you need to have an easier way."
"Not very scalable in my opinion. That's why I'm investigating new SIEM replacement."
"I imagine we will have to develop our own reports soon, this seems to be more cumbersome."
"The flash-based interface can be improved because sometimes, the speed of monitoring is reduced."
"Under the new system, it is not upgradable the way they say. When you try to do an upgrade, it doesn't really work unless you dump everything and start from scratch."
"The only issue is the pricetag. SolarWinds is a costly solution."
"It won't tell you when your backups are failing, but it will give you hints when your database is running on full recovery."
"We have automated threat detection in the Alliance Security, Antoinette. However, if these features could be further enhanced, it would simplify my work, potentially allowing me to allocate more time to address complex issues."

"The price of SolarWinds Security Event Manager is reasonable."
"Licenses can only be purchased in blocks of fifty at a time."
