What do you like best about SolarWinds Security Event Manager?

There are many benefits to implementing this tool in an organization.

Real-time threat detection and response.

System integration: it integrates with other security systems and solutions, allowing for more efficient management.

Process automation: automates many of the manual processes associated with detecting and responding to security threats, reducing time.

Incident management: provides a centralized platform for security incident management, facilitating coordination and resolution of security issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolarWinds Security Event Manager?

This platform may have several disadvantages, considering the following:

It is very expensive so it is not accessible to all organizations.

Its implementation and management is complex, requiring specialized technicians for its use.

It requires very specific and expensive hardware for its implementation.

The storage of the tool is limited.

And finally the integration with other tools or software is limited and very specific. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SolarWinds Security Event Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

In my organization the implementation of SEM has allowed us to comply with information security standards as well as save time with the automation of processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
