"Powerful Security, Clunky Interface"

5/5

What do you like best about SolarWinds Security Event Manager?

I appreciate the powerful rich correlation controls that can be used to define rules to help identify and detect many possible suspicious events. Its great performance stands out to me as well. I like how the correlation controls link related activities across many systems, which helps us detect threats that would otherwise look harmless on their own. They also reduce alert noise and speed up incident response. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
