The recently published Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) Emotional Footprint Report from Info-Tech Research Group highlights the leading SIEM solutions that strengthen threat detection, improve incident response, and support security team collaboration. The findings are based on user feedback and data from the firm’s SoftwareReviews platform.

TORONTO, May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – Info-Tech Research Group has released its 2025 Emotional Footprint Report on Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions, highlighting the top five providers as Champions in the category. Based on user data from SoftwareReviews, a division of the global research and advisory firm and a leading source for insights on the software provider landscape, the report illustrates how leading SIEM vendors support security teams and align with broader organizational objectives.

SIEM software allows for real-time analysis of log and event data, which enables threat detection, event correlation, and incident response. SIEM combines these capabilities with security information management for comprehensive insights into security events across organizational infrastructure.

Info-Tech’s Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment by aggregating emotional response ratings across 25 proactive questions. The result is a powerful indicator of overall user experience toward both the provider and the product.

Data from 944 end-user reviews collected on Info-Tech’s SoftwareReviews platform was used to identify the top SIEM software providers for the 2025 SIEM Emotional Footprint Report. The report is designed to help organizations select SIEM solutions that enhance threat detection, improve incident response, and strengthen collaboration across security teams.

The Net Emotional Footprint (NEF) of each software provider is a result of aggregated emotional response ratings across the areas of service, negotiation, product impact, conflict resolution, strategy, and innovation. The NEF is a powerful indicator of overall user sentiment toward the provider and its product from the software user’s point of view.

The 2025 Security Information and Event Management – Enterprise Champions are as follows: 

Trellix Enterprise Security Manager, +89 NEF, ranked high for its client-friendly policies.Microsoft Sentinel, +83 NEF, ranked high for security features.Fortinet FortiSIEM, +87 NEF, ranked high for reliability.Splunk Enterprise Security, + 87 NEF, ranked high for being efficient.Sumo Logic Cloud SIEM, +90 NEF, ranked high for integrity.

Analyst Insight:
“The SIEM platform is the backbone of an organization’s cybersecurity operation center,” says Fred Chagnon, principal research director at Info-Tech Research Group. “It serves as the central hub for aggregating all security data and intelligence across the environment. A SIEM is vital not only for real-time threat detection and incident response but also for post-incident investigation and root cause analysis. Unless these responsibilities are fully outsourced to a security provider, having an in-house SIEM is essential for enabling security teams to effectively protect against, detect, respond to, and prevent cyberattacks targeting the organization.”

User assessments of software categories on SoftwareReviews provide an accurate and detailed view of the ever-evolving market. Info-Tech’s reports are informed by the data from users and IT professionals who have direct experience with the software throughout the procurement, implementation, and maintenance processes.

100+ digital merchandising leaders averaged a failing 49.6/100 when asked to spot AI-generated product imagery, proving photorealistic CGI has reached parity with studio shots.

AUSTIN, Texas, May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Imagine.io, the AI-powered 3D content platform, today released results of a visual–accuracy quiz completed by more than 100 eCommerce professionals during the Digital Shelf Summit. Participants were shown ten product images—an even split of computer-generated (CGI) renders and live-studio photos—and asked to sort each one into “real” or “render.” The average score was just 49.6 out of 100, indicating most experts could not consistently tell the difference.

“When seasoned eCommerce and merchandising experts can’t spot which images are rendered and which were taken in a studio, it’s clear the technology has arrived,” said Preet Singh, CEO & Founder of Imagine.io. “This isn’t about replacing photography—it’s about empowering brands to create more visuals, faster and more affordably, by adding high-quality CGI and AI tools to their content stack.”

Facing tariff pressures, shrinking budgets, and soaring demand for personalization, leading brands are turning to CGI to accelerate content pipelines. Imagine.io’s platform enables teams to generate lifestyle scenes, silo shots, dimensional imagery, and even augmented-reality assets from a single 3D model—cutting production costs by up to 90 percent and compressing timelines from weeks to hours.

Survey Methodology

A library of verified studio photographs and photorealistic renders was uploaded to the survey engine. Each respondent received ten randomly selected images—five CGI, five real—spanning multiple product categories and camera angles. Participants swiped right or left to classify each asset, then submitted their results for an immediate score.

Key Findings of Survey

Indistinguishable Quality of Real vs. CGI Imagery: Average accuracy of 49.6 % proves parity between cutting-edge CGI and traditional photography.Cross-Category Parity: Furniture, housewares, and consumer-electronics renders scored nearly identical misidentification rates.Scalability Advantage: Respondents cited cost, speed, and versioning flexibility as top reasons to trial CGI in 2025.
