Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The log digestion features from threat intelligence platforms like Recorded Future or Talos are valuable.""It is one of the best products available in the market.""We check a lot of logs in ArcSight Logger because we're running a massive database platform.""The ESM use cases are the most valuable. It enables us to use the big data collection inside our company. We are able to create use cases for whatever it suits and I find that the most interesting part of any SIEM solution.""The solution provides information about the risk factors.""It's a brilliant log collection tool, and it can handle hundreds of thousands of servers in a single shot to ingest the data.""ArcSight provides the basic information that we want."

"The system's management and its alerts are the most valuable aspects of the solution.""It is very scalable and can handle a large workload.""I like the interface.""The events are notably more descriptive, aiding in security and event analysis. We've also integrated Sky Collector, providing valuable insights and solutions for troubleshooting.""The virtualization solution supports data center virtualization, network and security.""The trace log is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very helpful in troubleshooting problems.""The root cause analysis feature is very valuable.""What I like is that you can have different storage locations for different applications."

Cons
"I had some latency issues for two months. I had to increase our storage capacity significantly to reduce the latency.""The next release should have AI capabilities.""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.""We have had problems with archiving.""The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost.""The solution could be improved in maintenance settings.""It would be better if the product is cheaper.""You have limited reporting capabilities and I wouldn't choose ArcSight Logger for this purpose."

More ArcSight Logger Cons →

"The solution should be more user-friendly. The user interface and dashboard could be simplified.""Technical support should be improved.""The solution is a very good tool, but it has a lot of limitations. One of the main issues is around how you define your retention policy, for instance, in Log Insight. It doesn't have it. You can't define a log retention policy. You also can't define the destination or location for your logs. All of the logs are in one index or one bucket.""The product's price falls on the higher end of the spectrum, making it an area of concern.""I don't use the solution on a day to day basis, so I'm not sure what specifically can be improved.""It's great for VMware, but it would be good if they had third-party logins.""It needs better integration with third-party analytics tools.""I would like to see more tutorials or at least an introduction video from the supplier, so you can become proficient and get the most out of the solution. You might not get the full benefit from a logging or reporting solution because you might not have a particular tool enabled. You could leave something out of your analysis because you aren't aware of it or you don't know how to set it up."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "ArcSight Logger is very expensive compared to their competitors, but when we talk to the customer and explain what the features are and how we can scale, they understand. Still, ArcSight is more expensive than the competition."
  • "The pricing is quite harsh."
  • "It's not cheap at all as it's a big product and has been in the market for quite some time now."
  • "ArcSight is an expensive solution."
  • "I would rate the product a seven out of ten since it's an enterprise product."
  • "I rate the product’s pricing a seven out of ten, where one is inexpensive, and ten is expensive."
  • "Pricing is reasonable compared to similar tools on the market. They offer perpetual licenses."
  • "We have a lifetime license, so we don't pay a monthly fee."
  • More ArcSight Logger Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing could always be lower. If it were free, I would be more satisfied."
  • "The license cost for any other monitoring tool is too high compared to this product."
  • "Pricing is good because it is part of the suite package. It comes in a bundle for us."
  • "The licensing cost for vRealize Log Insight is a little higher, so in terms of cost, it all depends upon what kind of environment you have. If you have a complete virtualized environment, or at least you're using a ninety-five percent virtualized environment, then vRealize Log Insight will play a very good role because it is a VMware component, so it has very tight integration with other VMware components and systems. This means you don't have to procure any other monitoring and management tool, and you don't need a separate automation tool. vRealize Log Insight will have an upper hand if your environment is purely virtualized on VMware. If you're using a mix of physical and virtual components, for example, a 50:50 ratio, then you need to have a third-party component to manage overall monitoring."
  • "I am not sure what the exact cost is. However, I believe the vRealize suite costs $2,500.00 per year."
  • "I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
  • "I think it is a reasonably priced product."
  • "The pricing has been updated recently."

    Questions from the Community
