Top SIEM Platforms Named 2026 Champions in Info-Tech Research Group’s Emotional Footprint Report

Published

on

The 2026 Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) Emotional Footprint Report from Info-Tech Research Group identifies the leading SIEM solutions that excel in both technology and customer relationships. Based on verified end-user reviews from the firm’s SoftwareReviews platform, the report highlights top vendors that help organizations improve threat detection, visibility, and incident response while delivering a positive customer experience.

ARLINGTON, Va., May 14, 2026 /CNW/ – Enterprise investment in security information and event management (SIEM) solutions is accelerating as security teams prioritize faster threat detection, deeper visibility, and more coordinated incident response across complex IT environments. Modern SIEM platforms are essential for collecting and correlating security data, helping organizations identify and respond to risks with greater speed and accuracy. The 2026 SIEM Emotional Footprint Report from Info-Tech Research Group identifies the top-performing solutions in the category, recognizing vendors that stand out for user trust, satisfaction, and overall customer experience based on verified feedback from the firm’s SoftwareReviews platform.

SIEM solutions provide a centralized approach to monitoring and analyzing security data across an organization’s technology landscape. By ingesting logs and events from multiple sources, these platforms help security teams identify suspicious activity, prioritize alerts, and respond to incidents with greater speed and context. Core capabilities often include event correlation, real-time alerting, compliance reporting, and integration with broader security ecosystems, enabling more informed decision-making and consistent oversight across complex, distributed environments.

Info-Tech’s Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment by aggregating responses across 25 questions, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product. The result is the Net Emotional Footprint (NEF), a composite score that reflects the overall emotional tone of user feedback.

Based on 1,010 end-user reviews from the firm’s SoftwareReviews platform, the 2026 SIEM Emotional Footprint Report recognizes the top-rated solutions in the market. These insights provide organizations with a clear, data-driven view of leading vendors, helping them select solutions that enhance visibility, strengthen threat detection, and improve incident response across their environments.

The 2026 Security Information and Event Management Champions are as follows:

Trellix Enterprise Security Manager, +89 NEF, recognized for client-friendly policies.Splunk Enterprise Security, +87 NEF, ranked highly for efficiency.Sumo Logic Cloud SIEM, +90 NEF, rated highly for continual improvement.Microsoft Sentinel, +85 NEF, ranked highly for unique features.

“User sentiment toward SIEM solutions remains strong, but organizations are changing how they approach security operations,” says Fred Chagnon, principal research director at Info-Tech Research Group. “Security teams are rethinking the role of SIEM, shifting it from a traditional monitoring tool to a data-centric platform that supports more advanced, automated SOC capabilities. At the same time, ingestion-based pricing models are creating friction with this transition, prompting some organizations to explore alternative architectures. Vendors that adapt their offerings and pricing models to support these evolving data strategies will be best positioned for long-term success.”

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

Popular AI planner Voiset launches version 2.0 and enters MENA at LEAP 2026 with full Arabic support

Published

on

By

The AI personal planner that builds your day by voice returns to LEAP 2026 in Riyadh with a fully refreshed design and a connection to Claude, one of the world’s leading AI assistants.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Voiset, the AI personal planner, today announced the launch of its next generation product: Voiset 2.0, an almost completely rebuilt version of its planning solution. At the same time, the company enters the MENA market. Voiset will show the new version at LEAP 2026 in Riyadh, August 31 to September 3.

Voiset 2.0 is built around one simple idea: planning your day should be as easy as pressing one button. It is not another CRM or to-do list. Voiset works as a personal assistant for productivity. You connect your calendar, say your plans out loud or type them, and get a fully planned day. The AI understands natural language. It builds a realistic schedule around your calendar, priorities and deadlines, and replans automatically when things change. Voiset also connects to leading AI assistants: it is one of the first planners that you can control by talking to Claude, Anthropic’s AI assistant.

Arabic voice input was part of Voiset from the start. But full right-to-left interface support was the most requested feature from the company’s first users in the MENA region. Voiset 2.0 delivers it: the full interface now works in RTL Arabic, and voice input understands Arabic and English at the same time.

Mobile stays at the core of the product: everyone should be able to add tasks on the go and record thoughts without typing or difficult settings. Voiset 2.0 works on iOS, Android and the web, with instant sync between them.

Voiset is built for people with busy days: entrepreneurs, small business owners, real estate agents, consultants, students and anyone always on the go. It is for people who need to remember every detail and cannot afford to miss something important, but have no time to organize a task list by hand.

The redesign is based on feedback from Voiset’s current users, mostly in the United States and Europe, where the product has built its core audience.

The MENA market is a key opportunity for productivity tools. The US market is crowded, but MENA is still not well covered by major players, and few tools offer real Arabic support. At the same time, the region is growing fast: under Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, small businesses and public sectors such as health, education, infrastructure, recreation and tourism are expanding, creating strong demand for productivity solutions.

As part of its MENA expansion, the company is looking for local partners to grow its presence in the region and serve the needs of local businesses.

Revenue Optics Launches Pricing and Revenue Growth Management Practice, Names Shafohi Alamgir Vice President

Published

on

By

The firm’s first vice-president-level operator will build the practice that stops private-equity-backed distributors from giving coverage gains back at the counter, where industry research puts 3 to 5 points of recoverable margin at many mid-market distributors

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Revenue Optics, the commercial growth firm for private-equity-backed B2B distributors and industrial companies, today announced the launch of its Pricing and Revenue Growth Management practice and the appointment of Shafohi Alamgir as Vice President, Pricing and Revenue Growth Management. Alamgir began in the role on August 24 and reports to Founder and Chief Executive Officer Ali Hasham.

The appointment is the firm’s first vice-president-level operator hire and establishes pricing as the fourth line of the Revenue Optics commercial growth platform, alongside sales transformation, talent solutions, and AI and automation.

The practice was built in response to client demand. Revenue Optics builds inside sales engines that put proactive ownership around profitable accounts an outside-sales-centered model cannot economically reach, what the firm calls the distribution coverage gap. Those programs reactivate dormant accounts, increase share of wallet, and grow gross profit.

They also create thousands of new pricing decisions, often exposing a second problem: limited governance around how prices are set, exceptions are handled, and margin is protected.

“Many of our clients asked us a version of the same question this year: you fixed how we cover our accounts, can you do the same for how we price them,” said Ali Hasham, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Revenue Optics. “They were not asking us for another model. They wanted a system that could be installed and sustained. Shafohi and I came up inside WESCO at the same time, in the same office, on opposite sides of the same problem. Coverage decides whether you get the order. Pricing decides whether it was worth winning. Now we are putting the two together inside one firm.”

Pricing carries significant leverage in distribution. For a distributor operating at high-teens to low-twenties gross margin and mid-single-digit EBITDA, a 1 percent realized price improvement can translate into roughly a 22 percent increase in EBITDA because little incremental cost is required to capture it.

Alamgir brings more than 20 years of pricing and revenue growth management leadership across distribution and industrial manufacturing, supporting businesses ranging from $1.5 billion to more than $6 billion in revenue. Her work has generated more than $100 million in gross margin and EBITDA improvement, including repeated margin expansion of 200 to 300 basis points.

Her experience spans pricing architecture, customer segmentation, deal and discount governance, trade and promotional effectiveness, and commercial operating model redesign.

Alamgir has held enterprise pricing leadership roles at AG Growth International and Molex and previously worked in pricing roles at WESCO Distribution and GEXPRO, part of Rexel, after beginning her career at General Electric. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Distribution Management from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, is a Certified Pricing Professional through the Professional Pricing Society, and is Prosci certified in change management.

“Most distributors are not under-earning. They are leaking,” said Alamgir. “The margin is already in the business. It goes out through pricing by gut feel, slow cost pass-through, discount drift, and exception chaos. Those are governance problems before they are math problems. What convinced me about Revenue Optics is that they already understand the hard part: getting a sales organization to adopt something new and making it hold.”

The practice serves private-equity-backed distributors and industrial manufacturers. It begins with a fixed-scope pricing diagnostic designed to quantify recoverable margin across price variance, cost pass-through latency, discount leakage, and governance gaps.

Revenue Optics then builds the operating system required to capture that value, including key value item and price sensitivity analysis, pricing guardrails and floors, price-change governance, and seller enablement.

Revenue Optics is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee.

Clairvoyance Adds Multiplayer AI, Letting Multiple People Work Inside One Live AI Session, Running on Your Own Machine

Clairvoyance 0.85 also adds seamless access to AI sessions across all of a user’s machines, plus a new iPhone app

PLYMOUTH, Mich., Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stardock Software today released Clairvoyance 0.85, introducing Multiplayer AI, live AI agent sessions that multiple people can join and work in together, in real time. The work itself stays on the host’s computer, rather than in the cloud.

Clairvoyance is a local-first desktop application that gives users a staff of persistent AI agents. Because it runs on the user’s own machine, those agents work directly with the user’s local applications, files, and data, whether the intelligence behind them comes from cloud models such as Claude, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, and Grok, from local models running on the user’s own hardware, or from Clairvoyance’s built-in AI. Agents keep memory of the projects they support, communicate with one another, and deliver finished work including presentations, reports, dashboards, and interactive tools, all stored on the user’s machine.

With Multiplayer AI, a second person can now step into that work. A user building a data dashboard with their AI staff may find the numbers they need are owned by another colleague. They invite the colleague into the live session, and the colleague talks to the same agents and supplies the data directly, while the session and everything in it stays on the host’s machine. The same mechanism can also accelerate training, as working with AI agents is a genuine shift in how people work, and the fastest way to learn it is to sit inside a live session with an expert.

“Everyone understood Google Docs the first time they saw two cursors in one document,” said Brad Wardell, CEO of Stardock Software. “Multiplayer AI is that moment for AI agents but the difference is where it happens. With Clairvoyance, multiple team members are working with an agent on one person’s machine, rather than team members watching an agent work in a channel.”

The same infrastructure now connects a user’s own machines. Clairvoyance 0.85 lets users jump into any of their AI sessions from any of their computers, whether Windows, Mac, or Linux. Start a research task on a desktop before leaving the house, and the same staff, the same memory, and the same in-progress work are waiting on a laptop an hour later, with no reconfiguring and no re-explaining context.

A new iPhone app extends that reach to the phone as a user’s AI staff runs on their actual computers, with their actual applications and files, the app can direct real work from anywhere. Users can kick off a build, check in code, have Photoshop batch-process a folder of images, then collect the finished output back at the desk. The phone directs the work; the user’s own machines do it.

Clairvoyance 0.85 is available today as a free download at clairvoyanceai.com for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The full application is free, with Pro adding cloud sync, team features, and included AI tokens for $20 per month.
