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.
Sharath Chander - PeerSpot reviewer
It's more user-friendly than other solutions we tried, but it could use more features like process mining and automation
We want to have an automated system for bot hunting that enables us to detect anomalies predictively based on historical data. It would be helpful if Splunk included process mining as an alternative option. We have a threat workflow, but it would be useful if we could supplement that with some process mining capabilities over time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to correlate different logs is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the log monitoring."
"This solution allows us to identify connections for all users."
"One of the most valuable features is the alerts."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"The data collection and the integration with different products are valuable features."
"The correlation engine is good."
"Allows multiple integrations with multiple systems in a stable and flexible fashion."
"The solution appears to be stable, although we haven't used it heavily."
"The solution is definitely scalable."
"It's straightforward in terms of configuration and troubleshooting and log management and monitoring as well. These are the edge points in addition to it being a modular solution where you can capitalize on your current licenses with extra licensing models, which can match the customer's business requirement and it can help the customer to design or to actually plan for their own roadmap."
"The most valuable feature is being able to take data and put it into other systems so that we could see the output, and to see where we need to apply our focus."
"It is a solution that helps test and measure customer satisfaction."
"The solution is fast, flexible, and easy to use."
"The most valuable features are its data aggregation and the ability to automatically identify a number of threats, then suggest recommended actions upon them."
"The solution is extremely scalable. Our customers are regularly scaling up after installing Splunk."
 

Cons

"It needs more user analytics and aggregation user queries. And it's slow. When you query over ArcSight, it is very slow."
"I would like to see orchestration."
"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."
"It's a difficult product to navigate, it's complex."
"ArcSight is not a user-friendly solution and the interface needs to be improved."
"[There is] complexity in maintaining it and managing it. It's not easy to use. It requires a lot of training."
"There is a GUI, but it is not complete and lacks functionality that needs to be performed using the console."
"The solution is much more expensive than relative competitors like ArcSight or LogRhythm. It makes it hard to sell to customers sometimes."
"It would be good if the solution had an analytics tool that allowed us to analyze the data without writing specific queries."
"It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud."
"The correlation engine should have persistent and definable rules."
"Currently, a lot of network operations need improvement. We still need people to handle incidents. Our vision is to leverage status and convert it directly from the network devices. It would be ideal if we could take action using APIs and API code and remove manual processes."
"The price of Splunk UBA is too high."
"The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization."
"I'm not aware of any lacking features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The monthly licensing fee is around $20,000. There aren't any costs in addition to the standard licensing fee."
"ArcSight Analytics is a bit expensive compared with other tools in terms of licensing costs, training, hardware implementation, and support."
"My customers pay a yearly licensing fee for ArcSight Analytics."
"This solution is expensive."
"It can range between $30,000 and $40,000 USD, and can go up to $500,000 and $600,000 USD."
"In addition to the costs of standard licensing fees, there is the cost of labor for maintenance."
"I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
"The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
"Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
"My biggest complaint is the way they do pricing... You can never know the pricing for next year. Every single time you adjust to something new, the price goes up. It's impossible to truly budget for it. It goes up constantly."
"There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
"I hope we can increase the free license to be more than 5 gig a day. This would help people who want to introduce a POC or a demo license for the solution."
