SIEM Plus: AccelOps 2.1 – SIEM and Operations Data in the Same Package
Network Computing: Greg Shipley, Dec 1, 2010
"AccelOps, a relatively new entrant in the security information and event management market, combines SIEM functions with performance and availability monitoring features typically found only in network operations tools. The result is a platform that provides visibility for both security and network operations centers (NOCs). We tested AccelOps 2.1 and found it offers surprisingly rich functionality and usability while remaining cost competitive… the Flash-based UI is polished, responsive, makes good use of data visualization tools, and is downright slick compared with the "ho-hum" interfaces… an impressive array of features… we recommend taking a look at AccelOps… a dream for companies that are looking to affordably improve their security and network operations centers, and a contender for small and large SIEM deployments alike."
