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.
Abdullah Secca - PeerSpot reviewer
Valuable monitoring and integration features boost compliance
They are not in the US market, and the quality of support has declined. They migrated operations from Boston to Denmark, and we cannot use a tool hosted outside the country. Additionally, dealing with foreign entities for support was a challenge, leading us to switch providers due to lack of adequate support.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One of the most valuable features is the alerts."
"This solution allows us to identify connections for all users."
"The most valuable features are that you get lots of connectors, which make it easy to log in to my ASM, and lots of prebuilt roles from the company."
"This solution makes it easy to create use cases, and it is easy to move queries from use cases to the report to the dashboard."
"The data collection and the integration with different products are valuable features."
"ArcSight Analytics has improved our system and network policy monitoring."
"The correlation engine is good."
"Allows multiple integrations with multiple systems in a stable and flexible fashion."
"The integration is very user-friendly. There are not many CLI commands. Everything is directly accessible from the web interface."
"The UEBA component, as well as the SOAR component, are some of the most valuable features of Logpoint."
"It is an AI technology because it is using machine learning technology. So far, there is nothing better out there for UEBA in terms of monitoring endpoints and user activity. It is using machine learning language, so it is right at the top. It provides that capability and monitors all the activities. It devises a baseline and monitors if there is any deviation from the baseline."
"The flexibility of the search feature and the solution's analytics features are the most valuable parts of the solution."
"The most valuable feature of LogPoint is that they have the SIEM and SOAR combined in one solution. They are not on a separate platform."
"Technical support is responsive and very friendly."
"The most valuable features are the ones that we use the most, which are the search and report facilities."
"The product is easy to use."
 

Cons

"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 customer service could be improved, and additional integrations with other APIs could be added."
"There is a GUI, but it is not complete and lacks functionality that needs to be performed using the console."
"ArcSight's features that can be improved include anything related to its visualization capabilities and user friendliness."
"I would like to see orchestration."
"I would like to see integration with automation products, such as Phantom Automation."
"[There is] complexity in maintaining it and managing it. It's not easy to use. It requires a lot of training."
"I faced stability issues with Windows Operating System. The installed connectors hang if they remain idle for a long period of time."
"The thing that makes it a little bit challenging is when you run into a situation where you have logs that are not easily parsable. If a log has a very specific structure, it is very easy to parse and create a parser for it, but if a log has a free form, meaning that it is of any length or it can change at any time, handling such a log is very challenging, not just in LogPoint but also in everything else. Everybody struggles with that scenario, and LogPoint is also in the same boat. One-third of logs are of free form or not of a specific length, and you can run into situations where it is almost impossible to parse the log, even if they try to help you. It is just the nature of the beast."
"I know that they have user behavior analytics, but it's an extra cost for this feature. It would be nice if it was in with the standard products."
"Dashboards could be developed further."
"LogPoint can improve its dashboards. We are not able to customize the dashboard when creating them. They only have preset dashboards which do not have exactly what we are looking for."
"In terms of functionality, it is very good. The only issue is the documentation. Its documentation should be improved."
"The solution should offer more integrations and third-party solutions like incident response platforms or allow access to third-party big data"
"The interface needs things like wizards that will assist with creating complex correlation rules."
"The documentation part is something that needs to be improved, as well as the threat intelligence investigation part."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ArcSight Analytics is a bit expensive compared with other tools in terms of licensing costs, training, hardware implementation, and support."
"It can range between $30,000 and $40,000 USD, and can go up to $500,000 and $600,000 USD."
"My customers pay a yearly licensing fee for ArcSight Analytics."
"This solution is expensive."
"In addition to the costs of standard licensing fees, there is the cost of labor for maintenance."
"The monthly licensing fee is around $20,000. There aren't any costs in addition to the standard licensing fee."
"My company used to pay for LogPoint costs annually. It's a cost-effective solution. I'm not part of the Finance team, though, so I'm not sure exactly what the licensing fee is or what license my company had."
"It was on a yearly basis at about $100K. It was not a huge environment. We were running it on our own virtual server environment, which, of course, had a cost. There was hardware and some energy cost, and then there were Microsoft Windows licenses for servers. That's all, but there was nothing in comparison to the licensing costs."
"Our licensing fees are about $10,000 USD per month, which I think is fair."
"For a hundred user deployment the cost is about $10,000. The next year it would be the same because it's a subscription-based license. There are separate costs as well, for example, if a customer asks for training for their staff."
"LogPoint seemed like it was a good product, but it was expensive and there wasn't any room to move the pricing when customers needed a lower-costing solution."
"It's getting more expensive, which is one of the reasons we're looking around just to see if there's anything better value."
"It has a fixed price, which is what I like about LogPoint. I bought the system and paid for it, and I pay maintenance. It is not a consumption model. Most SIEMs or most of the log management systems are consumption-based, which means that you pay for how many logs you have in the system. That's a real problem because logs can grow very quickly in different circumstances, and when you have a variable price model, you never know what you're going to pay. Splunk is notoriously expensive for that reason. If you use Splunk or QRadar, it becomes expensive because there are not just the logs; you also have to parse the logs and create indexes. Those indexes can be very expensive in terms of space. Therefore, if they charge you by this space, you can end up paying a significant amount of money. It can be more than what you expect to pay. I like the fact that LogPoint has a fixed cost. I know what I'm going to pay on a yearly basis. I pay that, and I pay the maintenance, and I just make it work."
"Logpoint's pricing is mid-ranged and depends on the number of devices."
