Syed Ubaid Ali Jafri - PeerSpot reviewer
It has improved our system and network policy monitoring
They should improve on the following: * Timely resolution of issues and proper support once a ticket has been generated. * Systems appearing on the network which are not part of the domain controller. These should be monitored. * Inactive connections from servers, which are upgraded or downgraded within a VM, should be automatically revoked. * Logger monitoring should be separated from ESM monitoring. * Ability to integrate with cloud-based applications and monitor cloud-based events. * Ability to log and notify tailored rules via SMS/email. * Provide more ArcSight training and workshops.

Geraldo Freitas - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhances our security incident investigation but not good for correlation
Investigation is good when you know what you want to search for in Logger. The most difficult part is parsing the logs and configuring the parsers. For investigation, it's good. For correlation, it's not good. We use Sentinel, and Sentinel has pre-built use cases that are much easier to configure. So, it enhances our security incident investigation. We have inbound integration, but configuring the parsers is sometimes very difficult. We only have two use cases where we have a correlation set up. We send the information to Check Point to block IP addresses when we see a lot of blocks from the same source. We have a trigger. So, Logger automatically blocks these IP addresses. We could have Logger put them on a blacklist. So, it offers the ease of integration.

Cons

"I faced stability issues with Windows Operating System. The installed connectors hang if they remain idle for a long period of time."
"[There is] complexity in maintaining it and managing it. It's not easy to use. It requires a lot of training."
"The reporting and the way it is worded needs to be improved in future releases. The dashboards are quite poorly designed."
"The interactive dashboard is complicated and you need to have training in order to use it, so I think that it could be made easier to use."
"ArcSight's features that can be improved include anything related to its visualization capabilities and user friendliness."
"ArcSight is not a user-friendly solution and the interface needs to be improved."
"Inactive connections from servers, which are upgraded or downgraded within a VM, should be automatically revoked."
"Network integration is very crucial, and you need to have the knowledge to get it done."
More ArcSight Analytics cons
"ArcSight has been sold two or three times, and the quality has decreased."
"The product's connectors should work better and the user manuals need an update."
"It would be better if the product is cheaper."
"It's not a new product and is a bit complex. So, it requires a person dedicated to working on it and to know about it in and out. It is a huge product, and the search operation is a bit complicated for a new user or someone who has not used it for long. So for that person, it becomes a bit difficult."
"I think the ArcSight team should try to simplify legacy products for the customers, because that product is not easy to use or to work with. It needs more more competency or appeal to use. We hope Micro Focus is trying to resolve this."
"The speed of Logger indexing and searching for certain bugs for some queries that we provide could be improved. It can handle a huge number of logs but it can be improved."
"The solution could be improved in maintenance settings."
"It is really difficult to work in ArcSight Logger, as it is very slow."
