Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's a brilliant log collection tool, and it can handle hundreds of thousands of servers in a single shot to ingest the data.""The machine learning is a good feature.""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.""It provides in-depth information on business activities once we log into the system.""We have a trigger. So, Logger automatically blocks these IP addresses. We could have Logger put them on a blacklist.""In terms of ArcSight Logger's most valuable feature, it is their scalability. ArcSight's real advantage is its scalability because they have two layers, including the logger layer.""ArcSight provides the basic information that we want.""The log digestion features from threat intelligence platforms like Recorded Future or Talos are valuable."

Cons
"It's not a new product and is a bit complex. So, it requires a person dedicated to working on it and to know about it in and out. It is a huge product, and the search operation is a bit complicated for a new user or someone who has not used it for long. So for that person, it becomes a bit difficult.""We have had problems with archiving.""The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost.""ArcSight has been sold two or three times, and the quality has decreased.""The initial setup was a little bit complex.""I would rate the technical support only 5 out of 10. The technical support is not satisfactory.""The integration with other systems could be improved.""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."

More ArcSight Logger Cons →

"SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server could improve by reducing the price.""I would like to see a more user-friendly and customizable dashboard.""Technical support could definitely be better.""I would like to have email notifications for emergency logs.""I would like to see better search functions and better filters in the next release."
