Greg, for strictly log management I would recommend Splunk. We put our Splunk deployment in place last year. The goal wasn't event correlation, it was log management so we weren't really looking at a SIEM, such as QRadar, Nitro, ArcSight, etc. I put together a log management policy and matrix before I started looking at products. It helped narrow down the products before we started getting bids. I can email it to you if you are interested.

We are a mix of Windows (AD), HP Unix, and Linux servers with Exchange and Oracle. Please let me know if you are able to recommend any product or solution for monitoring logs and providing various reporting and alerting. At the recent Educause Security Professionals Conference several individuals had recommended QRadar. Any thoughts or feedback on these products and/or any others would be greatly appreciated. - QRadar (Q1Labs) - What's Up Log Management Suite (IPswitch) - GFI Events Manager (GFI) - Event Log Analyzer (ManageEngine) - StealthWatch (Lancope) - Others Thanks for any and all feedback!
