Forrester’s 2004 Security Event Management Series
Forrester Research recently came out with a series of Scorecard Summaries on SIM products.
The products reviewed are:
- ArcSight 2.5
- Symantec Incident Manager 3.0
- Consul’s InSight Security Manager 5.0
- Network Intelligence’s Engine Running enVision v.2.003
- GuardedNet’s neuSECURE 2.0
- netForensics 3.1.1
Forrester evaluated the products based on six different attributes:
- Architecture and Integration
- Reliability and Scalability
- Configuration and Flexibility
- Administrator and Reporting
- Market Presence
- Cost
These criteria are very similar to what we have talked about previously for the BI product evaluation.
Unfortunately, unless you have paid Forrester a ton of cash, you will not be reading them. But these are useful if you are considering a log solution and your marketing department happens to have paid Forrester.
By the way, Forrester has a RSS feed for all of their research summaries if you are interested. I think it’s a great way to get updated about their latest research.
