yes, we're already using it for viewing our routers'/switches'(cisco/juniper) 
log files being collected by syslog-ng. Someone here have recommended splunk, 
I wonder how can it be compared to it?

Can you please give me a very little insight on how it does when compared to 
sawmill and/or manage engine.. We will use both for our sonicwall and 
fortigate firewalls and soon probably for pix and other firewall products.
I've seen the flash demo presentation and I guess the thing has been designed 
absolutely for log management, consolidation, correlation and reporting.

Do you happen to know any reseller here in the Philippines?

Can it meet the requirements below?

Requirements:
=======================================
* Availability of technical support (ex: 24x7, email, phone, chat, etc.)

* Patch or updating of software is this included or an additonal expense?

* List of Managed Security Service Providers using the software

* Sizing guidelines - what server specs for X number of clients

* For contingency or redundancy purposes can we mirror the data on another 
server and would this entail additional cost?

* Are there steps to backup and resotore data in case of a system crash?

* Would it have a capability to have views for different clients

* Can the reports be exported to a file, if so what formats? PDF, DOC, 
etc?

* What reports can be generated:
- # of blocked IPs/Ports
- Source/Dest IP
- IPs, AV, AS report from Fortigate?
- Top Users
- Weekly, Montly, Daily, historical, etc.
- Others PLEASE EXPLORE

* Would the built-in syslog have an ACL facility to avoid being probed 
from the
public Internet.

* Would it support different logging from various firewall vendor on a 
single machine.

* Please list down features outside the above
