SMB Security Event Management Tool

When I initially wrote the Dragon IDS, I had a lot of customers tell
me about how much they hated to have to fire up MS-SQL or some other
database that was outside a product they were using, especially if
it was a security product.

For the Tenable Security Center and Log Correlation Engine, there are
no traditional databases involved. Everything is written to the disk
and indexed for performance. If you loose power, you have minimal
corruption and it works real well in a VM type of environment.

Q1 also uses ariel in its QRadar product (not sure about the free version).

Has anyone tried Juniper's STRM set of products?
I had a pitch by them the other day touting their use of a proprietary
database called Ariel (yeah... under the sea. I know) which solves not only
your alerting, reporting and forensics issues but also world hunger and
peace in the Middle East.

After having used MySQL back ends before, I'm a little less than thrilled by
products that incorporate that as a repository for XXX log items per second.

I would recommend at looking at: Splunk and Snare. Both tools combined
give
you great flexibility, not audit nirvana but close.

I'm looking for a security event management tool (log correlation,
auditing, etc.) that would be suitable for small/medium size business
environment.  The environments in which it would be deployed into are
primarily MS Windows with a smattering of Linux.

It doesn't need a lot of bells and whistles and it needs to be fairly
easy to set up and operate (the people doing the work are primarily
physical security types with the average user's knowledge).  Ideally it
needs to trigger on Windows event manager and security manager codes for
things like failed logins, etc.
