The best managed SEIM out there

PROS

We use the managed version of Event Tracker for several clients. A central portal has all of the info we need for compliance and security of our client's business.

CONS

Setup can be a bit of a challenge as an agent has to be deployed at every endpoint. Syslogs also need to setup to be collected which needs to be done on each device.

Vendor Response

We have had a great experience with EventTracker. We could not manage our Risks without them.

Staff augmentation, real time alerts, log correlation, centralized log management, visibility into security threats

PROS

The fact that they are able to manage our risks which effectively is staff augmentation for us. Our Information Security Department is one person (me) and without EventTracker monitoring the environment, sending weekly reports, proactively calling me when they see something unusual and holding quarterly collaboration meetings we would not be able to accomplish what we have been able to accomplish.

CONS

Tech Support is based out of India. It can be difficult to get same day turn around. With that being said, though, if it is an urgent matter I normally will hear back from them in a few hours.

Vendor Response

John, Thank you so much for taking the time to review our services and technologies. We take each review to heart and will relay it back within the organization to further improve the value we deliver.

EventTracker good for small MSPs with 2-5 employees

It's hard to get a SOC engineer who knows security. They are more of a support. you can't reach SOC directly and get assistance. It might be that they are overseas.

PROS

It adds more resources to the CPU. The agents failing to send an alert to our support .

CONS

It's not a true multi-tenant and can't be white-labeled. The price is attractive at first but then it adds up. We failed compliance and audit because their log storage can't retrieve log files.

Reason for choosing Netsurion

EventTracker had a very good sales team to sell the product but the service delivery and support was very inadequate.

Reasons for switching to Netsurion

Stratozen is basically a fortisiem product by Fortinet. Not of a lot of value in their service offering. Arcticwolf sells to our customers directly and we are not happy with blackstratus.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your review, Rob. Netsurion takes feedback seriously and is always seeking ways to improve our managed security solutions. We will certainly make sure these issues have been addressed. Our Managed Threat Protection solution has two versions, one is tailored to fit most MSPs' and SMBs' needs and budget, while the other is an enterprise-level co-managed solution that delivers more robust features and flexible services that may directly address any shortcomings you experienced. Granted, some security practitioners prefer a software-only solution for which we may not be the ideal fit. If it's not too late to earn your trust back, please reach out to our team via our contact form on Netsurion.com, so we can better understand your experience and see if we can be of service.

EventTracker is a great asset in our security toolbox...

Endpoint security and an awareness what is going on with users' machine is key. -We can see what new Windows processes are running (good or unwanted), connections to risky IP addresses. -Preventative alerts for low disk space on servers has prevented unwanted down-time. -DHCP alerts when new machines attempt to plug into our network -File Integrity Monitoring for PCI compliance -Audit support during PCI on-site assessments -Insightful dashboards for NOC TV/monitoring

PROS

The integrations from 3rd party systems helps show us the full picture of our security footprint, on-prem to Office 365. Support is very responsive to developing new integrations, if necessary.

CONS

None come to mind. Most anything we've had an issue with has been corrected in a timely manner.

Vendor Response

Hi Scott, Thank you for taking the time to review EventTracker SIEM. Your feedback is very important to us. We look forward to continuing delivering security and compliance value to NCMIC Group.

Good product but difficult to set up

PROS

Very flexible and accurate. It provides visibility and insight into what is going on with all our systems and network devices.

CONS

It is complicated to set up and non-intuitive. It lacks the modern approach to data analysis, such as machine learning.

Product designed to run internally, badly adapted for the cloud

We had not a very good experience at all and are in process of moving our last customers and servers off it to different products. Support was not very great when we engaged them and when we discovered some serious security flaws (like being able to see other customers data and usernames/passwords) promises were made about fixes and responsible disclosures that were not kept.

PROS

It does the job of logging events from your windows servers and syslog decently

CONS

It is difficult to search and generate reports. Adding extra alerts is difficult or not possible. The cloud version of the software has lots of security holes as it is just the local software that was quickly adapted for multi-tenancy

Vendor Response

Feedback from our customers and partners has been central to the continual evolution of our platform and service. We take every review very seriously. To be fair, there are a couple critical issues to address in your review. First, the security vulnerability mentioned was certainly of utmost importance. It occurred in 2018 and was fixed immediately and has never recurred, and has been third-party tested at least yearly. Second, you must be transparent that you were working with a very limited, white-labeled version of our solution configured for and delivered by your MSP platform provider. The SOC experience mentioned was not our SOC. Third, let's note that your MSP platform provider has recently invested in a competing solution that you are moving to. We have hundreds of MSPs working directly, and successfully, with us to receive our full capabilities of end-to-end threat prediction, prevention, detection, and response. We wish you the best in the future.

Left a lot to be desired

Terrible - would not use them again. They have their own security vulnerabilities we discovered in our own research (such as not encrypting users passwords in Eventtracker database, fixed in newer versions after our recommendation)

PROS

The ease of set up and the ability to pick and chose what devices you could monitor vs all in was a highlight

CONS

I did not like the tacked on SOC, it left a lot to be desired and when searching for other products comparable, Netsurion definitely was left in the rear view

Vendor Response

Thank you for taking the time to write a review, as we take reviews very seriously. The vulnerability referenced occurred back in 2018, was immediately remediated and there has never been a recurrence. While the vulnerability referenced was clearly an issue for you in 2018, your organization has remained a customer for the past several years without incident, so you have been comfortable with our remedy. We understand that your MSP platform organization has chosen to invest in a competing solution and become a competitor, which may explain this review two years after the fact. In relation to the "con" you listed as our SOC, your service was for our EventTracker Essentials solution through your partnership with an MSP platform organization, which also provided your SOC services. You did not interact with or use our EventTracker SOC. This understanding is apparent because you properly noted that you did not use our SOC in another review posted on this site the same day.

PROS

The ability to gather all the logs from windows computers in real time. Ability to filter events at the sending server side so extra events are not using network bandwidth Very easy to see and use GUI. Ability to alert on events and recieve notifications Very robust and stable platform.

CONS

Upgrading agents can be a little troublesome but that is because we don't use a decent software distribution platform.

EventTracker8 is a good all round product that assists our organization with our internal auditing

PROS

The user interface is very easy to use, and the customer support is excellent. The software is web-based so our administrators can open it via a browser from different locations.

CONS

It can be a little slow at times and the search/reporting functions sometimes timeout/expire during particularly large event searches.

PROS

Real time alerts for network activity such as failed logons, Administrator changes, software install/uninstalls, etc.. Reporting that satisfies regulator requirements (FFIEC and GLBA) plus comprehensive log search.

CONS

The user dashboard for v8 is a bit clunky and search can be difficult to use and slow. However I have seen the new v9 interface and the redesign seems to have addressed these issues and the search speed.

We like their managed event analysis and reporting, which helps with PCI requirements

We need it to meet business requirements. Consequently it is important to us that it does what it is supposed to do.

PROS

Support people are easy to work with and have been good at customizing to our needs. We rely on them to create reports and alerts for us. We have monthly reviews to go over what has been happening in the past month. These are good, to follow up on questions and make changes. Balaji and company are great to work with and responsive to our needs.

CONS

I don't use the software much my self but do use the generated reports. With most support being based in India, it can sometimes takes almost a full day to get questions answered if we ask them in the afternoon, our time (CST). That said, their support people are good and easy to work with. Our weekly vulnerability scan reports are not really configured in a way to make them very useful. They show vulnerabilities, but it is hard to get information on the machines affected.

Vendor Response

Thanks Tim for your feedback. I will have our Product and Support teams reach out to see if your reports can be better customized for your business needs.

The software provides good functionality, sometimes hard to configure.

It provides ease of information for auditing and alerting purposes, allowing us to bring up this info quickly and efficiently.

EventTracker has helped us log and track critical history on proprietary machines for several years

We derive compliance to most agency's requirements for remote hosting. We receive timely notices when servers are touched or error in any way.

PROS

Its thoroughness is a primary asset. Its usefulness as a security compliance tool makes it a necessary part of our hosting suite.

CONS

Setup (not installation but configuration) is tedious and requires both user and support intervention to get it up into a useable state.
