Nagendra Nekkala - PeerSpot reviewer
A user-friendly solution that can be used to integrate the logs properly with different connectors
ArcSight Intelligence is easy to maintain; one person is enough for the solution's maintenance. The maintenance person will add new features or devices, make policy changes or configurations, and learn and guide other engineers about new threats. ArcSight Intelligence is a user-friendly solution, and users should buy it if their company can afford its cost. Overall, I rate ArcSight Intelligence a nine out of ten.
Muzzamil Hussain - PeerSpot reviewer
Is easy to integrate and doesn't require maintenance
One major drawback we are facing is in the area of IBM Security QRadar integration with flat file databases. IBM Security QRadar does not support flat file database integration. We are currently facing an issue with respect to the database, which you normally call a NoSQL database. There is no direct integration mechanism available with IBM Security QRadar. We have to approach IBM and generate a ticket so that they can develop a custom method for the integration. In database integration, we are facing issues with IBM Security QRadar. The solution does not support the integration of flat file databases. Certain organizations have flat file databases. IBM does not support direct integration with some databases. We had to create a plug, and we requested IBM to develop a parser, but it is taking IBM a couple of months to develop it. I think a flat-file database should be supported directly instead of developing a parser plugin. There should be a more refined threat intelligence platform, and cross-integration should be possible with locally available threat intelligence platforms.
