"The best value in the SIEM market, period."
What do you like best about EventSentry?

EventSentry is incredibly economical without sacrificing features. I’ve previously worked with Wazuh and Microsoft Sentinel; Wazuh was a nightmare to manage, and Sentinel’s pricing is prohibitive for many budgets. EventSentry strikes the perfect balance. Additionally, their support team is top-tier, I rarely wait more than 2 to 4 hours for a knowledgeable response.

The founder of EventSentry has been exceptionally helpful and genuinely friendly throughout our interactions. His hands‑on support reflects the company’s commitment to its customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EventSentry?

The learning can be a bit of a curve. However, there's a decent number of resources on YouTube to get one started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable Scalable Monitoring with Exceptional Support"
What do you like best about EventSentry?

EventSentry offers a comprehensive user friendly monitoring solution with powerful event logging performance tracking and alerting. I especially appreciate how it’s evolved over the years consistently improving in speed stability and features. The founder is actively involved and always open to feedback and the support team is top notch they truly know the product inside and out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EventSentry?

There isn’t much to dislike. If anything I’d say the initial learning curve can be a little steep for those unfamiliar with event monitoring systems but once you get the hang of it it’s smooth sailing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient SIEM Solution with Cost-Effective Simplicity"
What do you like best about EventSentry?

I like EventSentry for its simplicity. The ability to filter Windows events is also something I enjoy. Additionally, its low cost makes it an appealing choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EventSentry?

I don't like the way EventSentry handles Linux logs and detection rules. It could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ingmar Koecher of EventSentry

Thank you for the candid feedback. We're aware that EventSentry's Syslog (Linux) support is not as comprehensive as Windows-based logs, although we have been making steady improvements to this functionality (e.g. RegEx formatting) recently. We will continue to improve Syslog support so that it is eventually on par with Windows logs, especially after adding support for Sigma rules.

"Great functionality but lacks API intergrations"
What do you like best about EventSentry?

Intuitive easy to use UI

Not as resource-hungry as other SIEMs

They have very comprehensive YouTube guides

Everything is bundled with the installer no need for additional software downloads Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EventSentry?

No one-click easy to use API integrations

No autosave, every configuration change you make has to be saved this resulted in a lot of lost progress in the first days

You need to be pretty technical and mess about with the OIDs to poll devices not on the default packages list

No AI features

"A Great Product"
What do you like best about EventSentry?

Event Sentry not only provides insights to elements of security, it’s also a great tool for getting an overview about many other areas of the environment. Using the features in it’s dashboard, I can also check network connectivity, server capacity, memory utilization, and even view print jobs. It’s our essential “What the heck is going on” tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EventSentry?

Sometimes it can be a little heavy with alerts, but this is easily solved with some simple tuning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"EventSentry Support"
