We performed a comparison between ArcSight Logger and Check Point Security Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."ArcSight's robustness is its most valuable feature."
"We check a lot of logs in ArcSight Logger because we're running a massive database platform."
"In our country we are a little bit private in terms of solutions, so we are just starting to use the basic data capture. Now some users can start to use additional features that come with Micro Focus ArcSight like user behavior analytics for investigating."
"The log digestion features from threat intelligence platforms like Recorded Future or Talos are valuable."
"Our return on investment for implementing ArcSight Logger over the past 12 months has been positive."
"It's an efficient solution."
"We have a trigger. So, Logger automatically blocks these IP addresses. We could have Logger put them on a blacklist."
"The solution provides information about the risk factors."
"Regarding the tool's valuable features, I would say that Check Point is a very accessible and fast tool, especially when dealing with logs for the first time."
"The management API is the best new feature for me. It allows us to further automate our customers' automated server ordering."
"The unique management using Smart Console for all firewalls is very useful."
"The compliance is great."
"It has brought significant improvements, including features like spam and anti-spam measures, intrusion prevention (IPS), and advanced filtering."
"We can track logs of each firewall which is very helpful."
"The cluster solution made our job easier any fault to the device will not halt entire internet connectivity."
"As the security administrator, who is responsible for the day-to-day tasks (e.g. creating new firewall rules, monitoring the security alerts and incidents etc.) and the maintenance (e.g. installing the new Jumbo Hotfixes), I find the Check Point Security Management R80.10 to be the great solution."
"I had some latency issues for two months. I had to increase our storage capacity significantly to reduce the latency."
"It would be better if the product is cheaper."
"The product's connectors should work better and the user manuals need an update."
"The solution could be improved in maintenance settings."
"The console in older versions is not user-friendly."
"The speed of Logger indexing and searching for certain bugs for some queries that we provide could be improved. It can handle a huge number of logs but it can be improved."
"ArcSight has been sold two or three times, and the quality has decreased."
"The solution must provide readymade connectors for different applications."
"Check Point Security Management lacks some of the competitor features."
"Support is the main area that they need to improve. Our support experience is not very smooth. We are based in Africa, and we don't know whether it is because of our region. I would like a feature where there is a workflow to provide authorization to some users before they're able to create and apply rules. Such a feature should be integrated with the management. It should not be in the box that comes with it."
"We would like to improve the upgrade process in order to do mass upgrades to firewalls and to be able to upgrade target firewalls at the same time."
"While the console and administration work well, they have to work on performance since it consumes a lot of CPU and memory."
"The tracking of new threats could be improved."
"If the SmartView monitor can be integrated in the R80.40 and R81 versions, that would be ideal in understanding the trends and graphs of how traffic is observed hitting the different Check Point Firewall Gateways that the Security Management controls."
"For those not familiar with the Command Line interface, there should be an option in the GUI for operating backups."
"I've found the solution was a bit unstable."
