We performed a comparison between ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) and Sentinel based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I am satisfied with the solution's stability."
"Some of the benefits of using this solution are rapid correlation and near-time response on alerts."
"Very good real-time reporting with a good dashboard."
"The user interfaces are quite good and speedy."
"Customization. ArcSight gives you a platform to on-board out-of-the-box devices with a more accurate way of collecting desired logs/events."
"I really like the correlation part and the way the logs are correlated. I have never faced issues with parsing in this product. I like the way it parses, and everything is so clear to me."
"The most useful features are directories, price, and live reporting."
"ArcSight gives us better visibility into threats that were unknown earlier."
"The solution's Kusto Query Language (KQL) execution time is pretty good."
"The native integration with out-of-the box format is hassle free and allows data to be used advantageously."
"It makes everything easier by automating some tasks and growing with our needs."
"The tool is simple to use."
"Sentinel gave us logs to tell us what's going right and wrong in your environment so we could secure the network."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides a central locking system for many event sources."
"The solution lets us get all the logs properly and regularly monitor customer infrastructure."
"One of the most valuable features is the business intelligence engine. It's very important because it keeps track of everything that's happening and alerts us if something is different than expected. The first time I used it, I was shocked at how well it performed. Another valuable feature that I think makes this product worth the price you pay for it is that it connects to basically every system that provides some form of logging, and it's very easy to set up what triggers this."
"In other products, I have found that they use some kind of GUI that is drag and drop. While in ArcSight they use still scripting. They should keep scripting because some people prefer scripting but they should have the option for those who prefer using drag and drop."
"I am having issues with report generation with older versions. I don't know if this is because of compatibility issues, but report generation has been a little bit difficult in older versions. It is not similar to the newer and current versions. We are looking at moving to the cloud. It would be good if ArcSight ESM can move to the cloud. They already seem to be working on this. It would also be very helpful and great if we can integrate external threat intelligence, machine learning, and AI into this solution. It has good dashboards, but they can always be better. Its stability can also be improved."
"Administration of ArcSight is not an easy job. The admin needs to be well experienced in it to identify the root cause and fix it."
"Micro Focus does not have a physical presence here in Pakistan, although IBM does."
"ArcSight ESM's UI is a little cumbersome and complex, especially for first-time and occasional users using the console manager."
"The product should include a lot more predefined scenarios so the adopted company will have knowledge and a broader skill set in security and network."
"The visualization is not very good compared to Splunk."
"It is quite complex and could use a better UI. So the improvement would be a simplification. It is pretty complicated to use. The architecture is not complex but the setup and use are."
"I would like to see a better reporting work structure on the dashboard."
"The solution does not allow outsourced authorizations."
"This product's connection to certain types of cloud systems could be improved. We can do Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, but there are a lot of other things happening in the cloud that we do not connect well enough to. This product could be improved with better connection to cloud-based solutions."
"The dashboard and customer view should be improved"
"There is a need for more flexibility in customization, especially when working with different vendors and platforms."
"Creating a drag-and-drop dashboard or workbook in Sentinel is a little more complex compared to other tools like LogRhythm and IBM QRadar."
"It is an ancient product."
"There is no integration in the web-side of the tool."
