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.

"ArcSight Analytics is used to get a deeper insight and threat analysis about the network."

"The features I have found most valuable are it capabilities for behavioral analytics and anomaly detection."
"The ability to correlate different logs is the solution's most valuable feature."
More ArcSight Analytics pros
"It is one of the best products available in the market."
"The ESM use cases are the most valuable. It enables us to use the big data collection inside our company. We are able to create use cases for whatever it suits and I find that the most interesting part of any SIEM solution."
"We have a trigger. So, Logger automatically blocks these IP addresses. We could have Logger put them on a blacklist."
"The machine learning is a good feature."
"It's an efficient solution."
"In terms of ArcSight Logger's most valuable feature, it is their scalability. ArcSight's real advantage is its scalability because they have two layers, including the logger layer."

More ArcSight Logger pros
 

Cons

"I faced stability issues with Windows Operating System. The installed connectors hang if they remain idle for a long period of time."
"It's a difficult product to navigate, it's complex."
"Their support team could be better."
"The customer service could be improved, and additional integrations with other APIs could be added."
"It needs more user analytics and aggregation user queries. And it's slow. When you query over ArcSight, it is very slow."
"Inactive connections from servers, which are upgraded or downgraded within a VM, should be automatically revoked."
"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."
"The reporting and the way it is worded needs to be improved in future releases. The dashboards are quite poorly designed."
More ArcSight Analytics cons
"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 would like to see better scheduling in the next release of this solution."
"I would rate the technical support only 5 out of 10. The technical support is not satisfactory."
"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 integration with other systems could be improved."
"The solution could be improved in maintenance settings."
"We find that the search and access functionality is quite slow."
"The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost."
