SolarWinds Engineer's Toolset vs. ThreatCure® ShieldOps Platform

[SolarWinds Engineer's Toolset is] a great tool for monitoring database servers, highly recommended. The very good thing is that it keeps the history for two weeks, and you can see the time slice for all the server activities. Helps a lot to identify the memory and CPU bottlenecks, research blocking issues and kill the sessions, if necessary.

ThreatCure Guardian Care services enable us to block C&C connections from some of our infrastructure systems. They told us that they had seen lateral movements in the early stages, which may indicate a ransom attack. They later provided us with a comprehensive report detailing the threat actors who were utilizing an insider threat in this.

• Indepth knowledge of our infrastructure
• Complete Threat Landscape view
• Early detection of threats

• The unifying component that is intended to be the initial interface to the tools seems clunky. I prefer to start the tools individually rather than using it.
• The port scanner could use some improvements to make it easier to use.

• Would suggest ThreatCure red-teaming services.

Very easy to use and intuitive. Just be careful with the WAN Killer...it does what it says.

These tools complement the Engineer's Toolset. They are excellent at detecting most issues and at keeping the network monitored and protected. However, when it comes time to dig into an issue, especially a hard to fix intermittent issue, these products lack the granularity of monitoring needed for these types of issues. Having said that the toolset is not made to do full time enterprise level monitoring. With these tools and the toolset I am able to have a more complete view of the network and deliver higher levels of service and quicker responses to issues.

While some items offer perfect sight, others fall short in other respects. The ThreatCure ShieldOps platform provides our management and incident response team with a 360-degree perspective. This facilitates quicker decision-making for the future. Furthermore, ThreatCure has an opex model, but other suppliers require significant Capex investments, which is an added advantage of SMB organization like us.
