Cons
"Using the ArcSight Logger dashboard is not particularly intuitive or efficient, so it is important to be trained in its use.""I would like to see better scheduling in the next release of this solution.""The solution could be improved in maintenance settings.""You have limited reporting capabilities and I wouldn't choose ArcSight Logger for this purpose.""I had some latency issues for two months. I had to increase our storage capacity significantly to reduce the latency.""The integration with other systems could be improved.""The solution should make it possible to integrate network analysis features.""The product's connectors should work better and the user manuals need an update."

More ArcSight Logger Cons →

"Email notification should be done the same way as Logentries does it.""The Integration module could be improved. It is a pain to build integration with any product. We have to do parking and so on. It's not like other commercial solutions that use profile integration. I would also see more detection features on the SIEM side.""The training that is offered for Elastic is in need of improvement because there is no depth to it.""If the documentation were improved and made more clear for beginners, or even professionals, then we would be more attracted to this solution.""We had issues with scalability. Logstash was not scaling and aggregation was getting delayed. We moved to Fluentd making our stack from ELK to EFK.""We'd like better premium support.""The tool should improve its scalability.""The solution does not have a UI and this is one of the reasons we are looking for another solution."
