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.

Decreases the false positives but storage model complexity hampers efficiency
I recommend it to my customers, but I'm a salesman. I am not implementing it myself It decreases the false positives, so it will decrease the time consumed by the operation team to work on Splunk. The most effective one is the integration with other vendors. This is the most attractive one.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 solution is easy to implement."
"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."
"The correlation engine is good."
"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."
"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."
"This is a good security product."
"It is a solution that helps test and measure customer satisfaction."
"The most effective one is the integration with other vendors."
"The solution is definitely scalable."
"Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried."
"The solution is extremely scalable. Our customers are regularly scaling up after installing Splunk."
"The product is at the forefront of auto-remediation networking. It's great."
 

Cons

"It needs more user analytics and aggregation user queries. And it's slow. When you query over ArcSight, it is very slow."
"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."
"I would like to see orchestration."
"There is a GUI, but it is not complete and lacks functionality that needs to be performed using the console."
"ArcSight is not a user-friendly solution and the interface needs to be improved."
"Currently, there are no compatible connectors for this solution, which means we have to depend on FlexConnectors."
"I would like to see integration with automation products, such as Phantom Automation."
"The price of Splunk UBA is too high."
"I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions."
"I'm not aware of any lacking features."
"It would be good if the solution had an analytics tool that allowed us to analyze the data without writing specific queries."
"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."
"If the price was lowered and the setup process was less complex, I would consider rating it higher."
"The solution is much more expensive than relative competitors like ArcSight or LogRhythm. It makes it hard to sell to customers sometimes."
"It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It can range between $30,000 and $40,000 USD, and can go up to $500,000 and $600,000 USD."
"The monthly licensing fee is around $20,000. There aren't any costs in addition to the standard licensing fee."
"My customers pay a yearly licensing fee for ArcSight Analytics."
"In addition to the costs of standard licensing fees, there is the cost of labor for maintenance."
"This solution is expensive."
"ArcSight Analytics is a bit expensive compared with other tools in terms of licensing costs, training, hardware implementation, and support."
"The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
"There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
"Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
"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."
"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."
"I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
