Overview<br />

• SolarWinds has taken TriGeo’s compliance-focused solution<br />

and added in operational capabilities for full-featured, but<br />

affordable, solution.<br />

Strengths<br />

• SolarWinds aims to solve the “enterprise SIEM” problem for the<br />

mid-market by offering basic features in reporting, correlations<br />

and endpoint coverage, a drag and drop rule builder, and by<br />

bringing information to user’s fingertips instead of making them<br />

dig deep.<br />

• With a price point that is unmatched by its competitors,<br />

SolarWinds offers exceptional value for users without<br />

sophisticated SIEM needs.<br />

Challenges<br />

• SolarWinds’ focus on supporting compliance requirements is<br />

clear; however, they currently lack in advanced security-oriented<br />

capabilities.<br />

• SolarWinds LEM lacks internal retention management: though<br />

data can be archived to a network share, the general storage<br />

limit inherent within the product is 2TB. If a system reaches full<br />

storage and external shares are not used, data simply expires<br />

out.<br />
