EventSentry Reviews

First days of you I felt a little lost, then I use the help center and the videos that the company has and start working with it perfectly. They have an AWESOME customer care. They will reply your questions at their forum real quick.

EventSentry is used here to collate event logs, spot errors and trends in our network and security issues that need to be re-mediated. we've found it to be very useful in root cause analysis and troubleshooting network issues. the support staff are amazing and cannot be recommended enough!

The company our IT department is working for, is a small to mid size company (~550 users). Our team consists of two system engineers, which makes it challenging to always keep track of changes and events on our Windows servers. We invested some time in searching for a suitable SIEM product for Microsoft Windows eventlog consolidation and event notification. After we found other solutions to be...

Did a WebEx with my supervisor to demo EventSentry and show how I’m using it here in our East Coast office. Whenever my boss asked a question, I could display info and immediately provide an answer with just a few mouse clicks. Simple, fast, and on-point. He was very impressed. Installation of upgrades has been smooth and easy. I don't worry that an upgrade will cause loss of my event log data. Excellent documentation of EventSentry installation procedures, use of features, and troubleshooing methods. My company is starting to purchase more licenses and expand use of EventSentry to more of our systems. It's exactly what we need for event log consolidation, auditing, and system management.

I've worked in SMBs and Enterprise IT for over 10 years and have yet to find a monitoring solution that compares with EventSentry in the areas of event management, perfmon reporting, alert capability, and ease of use. On top of all of these qualities, the support staff is outstanding and the cost/value ratio is heavily stacked in the clients favor. PROS - Comprehensive and Customizable Event...

What a Fantastic product!!!! The installation and configuration was far more intuitive and even quicker than the previous version that we tried. Configuring how and when to send emails (and even shutting them off completely) was just in-your-face simple, and the amount of time it took us to go from download to getting value was significantly less than we had been expecting for a product of this magnitude....

We built a monitoring console to accompany the dashboard and the console at is what we use 98% of the time. We have built dozens of plugins and applications to use with and manage EventSentry, and turned the result into state of the art predictive monitoring.

I had been away from EventSentry at different jobs that didn't use this product for log consolidation. Coming back to the product after just a couple of years, I was shocked at the number of new features that have been added. In addition, the web interface is quite slick now. The backend performance (I'm using SQL Server) is fantastic and the site is very responsive. We are using the product for HIPPA reports, SOX Compliance, Performance Monitoring, Syslog and of course Consolidated Event Logs.

Someone else in the department spent some time setting up monitoring software from a more popular vendor to monitor the workstations in our environment. He found the task to be difficult and unintuitive. And we found the licensing for servers to bit a bit expensive. That's when we found EventSentry, and it was the exact opposite of what we had previously experienced. The pricing was reasonable...

EventSentry is an Amazing Tool and Very Cost Effective for us. Netikus developed the whole `Package' that included all the event log tracking required by the FBI for our accountability to the Criminal Justice System. Nothing short of Excellent in my opinion. Every time that I have had a question or tech support concern with EventSentry I have gotten immediate assistance. Netikus staff have...

My organization wouldn't be caught dead without EventSentry because it takes so much of the manual burden off managing servers and other critical applications. What you will find is easy setup and network discovery, great feature set and many notification options, including via email and SMS. Also detailed and customizable reporting which supports custom date ranges, granular filtering, etc. New...

We've been using EventSentry for several years to store Windows event logs, monitor performance and usage statistics, and keep a handle on compliance requirements. It's ease-of-use and alerting capabilities are exactly what we've needed to keep from being buried in Windows event log hell. I would recommend EventSentry to anyone looking for a log monitoring solution that's ready to go in just a few hours. Pros -Consolidate Windows event logs -Server uptime, performance, and usage monitoring -Customizable alerting options -Compliance reporting -Price! Cons -It doesn't answer the phone

EventSenty offers many great features at a great price point. It is very flexible and we have leveraged it throughout our environment on many different platforms. The reporting, alerting, and dashboards that are included are very nice and allow you to be proactive and spot issues before they become problem.

EventSentry is "Must Have" for every administrator. We had the free version before, now we are using full licensed version of the software and so far it was the best investment we did in monitoring software. Great Job NETIKUS!
