SolarWinds Security Event Manager (SEM) Pricing

“Basing pricing for SEM on the number of log emitting sources instead of log volume allows for better cost control and easier predictability of future costs, as the price does not vary greatly in the...”

“ROI is something I can't comment on being a user of the tool but SEM has been good value for log collection and tracking purposes.”

“SolarWinds is a thorough and complete IT Operations Monitoring, Alerting, and Capacity planning solution with excellent ROI and arguably the fastest tool to get up and running with a great ROI... … Pricing for log emitting sources is definitely more customizable than pricing based on log volume, but that is not necessarily true for a large deployment architecture.”

“And the pricing was well within my budget.”

“For the price, it produced a decent value.”

“the problem they pose is guesstimating the price tag per month.”

“Pricing based on log emitting sources makes it a far similar process of determining how much it would cost.”

“SEM is much better value proposition due to being priced by node and not by size of the event database.”

“Also, on a budget side, is more affordable than competitors like Splunk or LogRhythm.”

“It is also less expensive which is a big plus.”

“Network management will need to plan on some ramp-up time cost up front.”
