For log aggregation and alerting, wouldn't a syslogger do it?

Three physical locations, hundreds of devices and I don't know how many 
different types of sources, but a lot. Web servers, app servers, DB's, routers, 
switches, etc.

Thanks,
Dave

How big is the environment? What is the scope of devices?

SEIMs are designed to take logs from multiple sources, do log 
collection/analysis, event correlation/alerting. Something like SCOM isn't 
designed for that, and ACS does Windows only (AFAIK). How about your firewalls, 
AV, HIPS/NIPS, proxies servers etc. Unless they are all Microsoft, I don't see 
how ACS can help OP. I wasn't aware that Quest had a product in this market.

Arcsight (now part of HP) is the #1 vendor that I'm aware of. Symantec also has 
a product (SSIM), but I'm not sure I recommend it due to previous experience

Cheers
Ken

System Center Operations Manager with Audit Collection Services can do all this 
and more, if I am getting the gist of your requirements correctly

For me, it's simply log aggregation and alerting. The bigger goal is a stuff 
way out of my scope as it's being driven from our product side (I am 
employee-facing, not product facing). I've been included on this project just 
for my technical input and am much more a passenger than a driver on this 
project.

The vendor list I sent out was narrowed down from a bigger selection. I was 
simply looking for anyone who has deployed or evaluated SIEM products from the 
listed vendors is all.

What is the goal?

On the low end, you are leaving out NetWrix, in the middle you are leaving out 
ConfigMgr, and on the upper end you are leaving out various Quest solutions.

But it all depends on what you are trying to do.
