SolarWinds LEM is a comprehensive security information and event management (SIEM) solution that delivers powerful, real-time log collection and analysis for immediate, actionable threat intelligence to help thwart attacks, contain breaches, and maintain continuous compliance in an ever-evolving threat landscape.
What is log management?
Log management involves the aggregation, parsing, and indexing of log files from a variety of sources including network devices, security devices, applications, operating systems, and more. The primary drivers of the collection and analysis of logs are IT security, improving IT and networking efficiency, and meeting and maintaining regulatory IT compliance.

Most importantly, SolarWinds listens to the IT professional community to continually improve and update solutions based on user feedback and real-world needs.
SolarWinds’ online user community, THWACK®, features a forum in which IT pros can request and vote on new features and thus directly influence product updates.

SolarWinds software is built to scale and can support an IT environment of any size, small business IT shops and large enterprises alike, and is used by nearly every U.S. federal civilian agency, DoD branch and intelligence agency.
