Hi,
Curious to know if other Universities have deployed or compared RSA Envision to Nitro or other SIEM solutions.
Thanks,
Anand

Hi Charles,
        We use the NitroSecurity SIEM. We recently purchased and have been using it for a few short months now.   I had 
the same impression as you did from the demo and after a vigorous eval we decided it was the best system for our needs. 
 Those needs centered around the following:  analysis capabilities, 3rd party platform logging support, scalabillity, 
performance, technical support, storage, short-term value ($$$) and long-term dollar cost, management overhead, and 
possible integration with other tools we have or might be looking to in the future .  We evaluated a few other products 
all of which had their strenghths, weaknesses, but NitroSecurity came out on top for us.  If you'd like details I feel 
free to contact me off-list.

Thanks,

Does anyone on this list use the NitroSecurity SIEM platform who would care to share their experiences? We saw a demo 
of it yesterday, and to say the least, I was impressed. It appears to be far beyond what our current solution is 
capable of in terms of speed and functionality, but of course the proof is in the pudding, so to speak.

Thanks,

Charlie
