NetIQ Security Manager

All the products tested will enhance your view of your IT infrastructure and provide valuable security information. And their effectiveness will increase both with familiarity and more detailed configuration. On this occasion, our Best Buy is the Trigeo Security Information Manager, a highly capable and comprehensive tool that is nonetheless straightforward in its implementation and well supported by the supplier. The Applied Watch Command Center gains our Recommended award for its slick integration of existing tools in the open-source space, coupled to flexibility of deployment via a well-considered product offering.

Our Best Buy goes to TriGeo SIM. It is one of the few products we’ve tested over the years that actually lives up to its hype. We loved the quick implementation and collection of stock reports, but the ability to customise for various environments was a big plus. We award TriGeo our Best Buy for power, flexibility and innovation with such features as the USB Defender at a reasonable price.

Our Recommended awards go to High Tower’s SEM3210 for its range of features and easy deployment, and Enterprise Security Analyzer from elQnetworks for its easy-to-use functionality and integration with any Windows server.
