    Chose RackFoundry Total Security Management (discontinued)
    We choose Rackfoundry because it was supposed to be a budget friendly solution that punched above its weight class. Instead what we got was a virtual appliance that powers a web app that does not work.

    There are a few reasons we chose Rack Foundry:

    1. At the end of the day cost is a huge concern for a small company. With that being said we had a great sales person who walked us through all the offerings and basically worked with us to get us to be in a position where we can …

    RackFoundry Total Security Management (TSM) is suited for most companies that have the same challenge as my team had. If you are looking to purchase one security tool and spend most of your allocated budget then I would not recommend this for you. However, if you are looking for something close to a single pane of glass, (granted there is no such thing) this solution does come close as they have the main components built in such as their FW/IPS/IDS/SIEM. Before selecting RackFoundry we had two options which were: 1) Upgrade our current solution and spend an overbearing amount 2) Search for new vendors and maybe procure 1-3 devices and then manually integrate them. Because this was a unified console and integration between devices was simple, we were able to obtain 4-6 security functions and we even had some sense of security visibility via the SIEM. It's not as powerful as Splunk or LogRhythm, but it definitely does the job

    Well I have experience with the big names: SecureWorks, IBM and Splunk. Individually their logging tools are much better than RackFoundry's Total Security Management. This is great for large corporations and urban cities, however not so great for municipalities, mid size businesses and companies who fluctuate between 1-7 members on their IT staff. Why? Because it takes too much of their resources and integration with other products gets a little rough as you will need to configure your preferences to theirs. When a company has stability it is great to have a name brand product, however renewals and upgrade costs can be taxing to an organization.

    • Overall the product has had a negative impact. Not necessarily on our environment but in the amount of time it has taken to deploy.
