A lot of it for me was the way I was a SolarWinds customer already. There is that familiarity, integration, etc. Also its more affordable than Splunk and offers a similar experience.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The proactive approach it takes to threats.

Like everything in Security, you do need someone to be dedicated to it to get the most out of it. Splitting duty in a smaller shop might not be the best approach. You might consider an MSP if you do not have the staff.

Download a trial, take the time to fully evaluate it, you will see the benefit.
