It's more user-friendly than other solutions we tried, but it could use more features like process mining and automation

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easy to implement."

"ArcSight Analytics has improved our system and network policy monitoring."
"Allows multiple integrations with multiple systems in a stable and flexible fashion."
"ArcSight Analytics is used to get a deeper insight and threat analysis about the network."
"The most valuable feature is the log monitoring."
"The features I have found most valuable are it capabilities for behavioral analytics and anomaly detection."
"This solution allows us to identify connections for all users."
"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."
"Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried."
"The solution is fast, flexible, and easy to use."
"It's easily scalable."
"The solution's most valuable feature is Splunk queries, which allow us to query the logs and analyze the attack vectors."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to search through a large amount of data."
"The most valuable features are its data aggregation and the ability to automatically identify a number of threats, then suggest recommended actions upon them."
"It is a solution that helps test and measure customer satisfaction."
 

Cons

"It's a difficult product to navigate, it's complex."
"Their support team could be better."
"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."
"I would like to see orchestration."
"I faced stability issues with Windows Operating System. The installed connectors hang if they remain idle for a long period of time."
"Inactive connections from servers, which are upgraded or downgraded within a VM, should be automatically revoked."
"ArcSight is not a user-friendly solution and the interface needs to be improved."
"The GUI interface is not always intuitive and easy for non-technical users to work with."
"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 correlation engine should have persistent and definable rules."
"The price of Splunk UBA is too high."
"The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need."
"The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization."
"It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud."
"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."
"There are occasional bugs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In addition to the costs of standard licensing fees, there is the cost of labor for maintenance."
"My customers pay a yearly licensing fee for ArcSight Analytics."
"ArcSight Analytics is a bit expensive compared with other tools in terms of licensing costs, training, hardware implementation, and support."

"This solution 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 am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
"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."
