Re: SIM Suggestions

["ॐ aditya mukadam ॐ" <aditya.mukadam () gmail com>]

We are using Netforensics and we had good experience with it so far.
It has great reporting capablities.

Chosing the right SIm solutions would need some below questions
answered by you/your internal team ( answers would help you to decide
or atleast give some idea):
1) How many devices are you planning to integrate to SIM ? Its not
worth to buy it for less than 50 devices for its cost.
2) Are you planning to integrate all your network devices ? Its a good
idea to integrate all your devices including windows AD if at all.
3) What is the expectation from the SIM ? This is absolutely important.
4) Are you planning to use this to write new Co-relation rules or use
the inbuilt default rules ?
5) Do you have dedicated person/people to work on SIM ? This is
absolutely important as SIM solutions can get difficult to scale up as
you increase your understanding and fully utilize its potential.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
