If we want to start comparing enterprise products, you need to add RSA enVision 
to the list.  The system is completely scalable in terms of how many events per 
second it can handle.  We have an older HA series appliance, which can handle 
7500 events per second sustained, with burst up to 9750.  Newer enterprise 
level appliances from RSA enVision are simply limited by the number of 
collectors you purchase, with each collector capable of 10,000 sustained events 
per second.  Can you tell I am biased?  I love the features it has - enterprise 
reporting, alerting, ability to collect from windows, syslog, IIS, SQL, Oracle, 
and lots others.  We haven't even tapped the potential of our system and we are 
loving what we can do with it.  Of course, once you get into these products, 
you are talking about several hundred thousand dollars.  Not for your average 
Small-medium sized business.

Check out Loglogic  http://www.loglogic.com

It will handle up to 4000 mps sustained and can handle spikes up to 30000 mps.

IMHO, you get what you pay for.  

Are you referring to this product?  
http://sourceforge.net/projects/eventlogmonitor/ 

If so, it looks like it can only deal with windows logs.  That is not going to 
get you very far.  If you want to know what is going on within your network, 
you really need something that can handle syslog messages as well (routers, 
firewalls, etc.).

Although not pertinent to the product you mentioned, I remembered reading on 
GFI's website about their event log management product.  They were *boasting* 
that their collector could handle up to 6 million events per hour.  That boils 
down to a paltry 1667 events per second, which is absolutely pathetic.  A 
couple of core routers/firewalls could easily overwhelm this.

Is there someone who already tried the product SB Eventlog Monitor?

I´m thinking about starting some tests in my network (all windows, 2000 
machines) centralizing all the logs in one server, but I would like to hear 
from you any kind of experience with this product.

I would like to know how the product behaves concerning network traffic, 
manageability and event correlation.
