SolarWinds Security Event Manager vs. OpenText ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM)

Security Event Manager (SEM) is a powerful, real-time Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution designed to act as a virtual Security Operations Center (SOC). It provides active monitoring and automated threat detection across multi-vendor network devices, servers, workstations, and applications. SEM is delivered as a downloadable virtual appliance for rapid deployment, and allows IT teams to centralize log data and enable real-time event correlation right out of the box. SEM goes beyond simple alerting by offering automated remediation actions.

ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) is a comprehensive threat detection, analysis, triage, and compliance management SIEM platform that dramatically reduces the time to mitigate cyber-security threats.
