"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."
"We check a lot of logs in ArcSight Logger because we're running a massive database platform."
"ArcSight provides the basic information that we want."
"The technical support team is good...It is a scalable solution."
"It provides in-depth information on business activities once we log into the system."
"ArcSight's robustness is its most valuable feature."
"Our return on investment for implementing ArcSight Logger over the past 12 months has been positive."
"Special notifications about compromised phones are valuable because we have some guest networks, and sometimes, people are connecting phones that are connected to compromised websites. We want to be informed about it. We sometimes have some cases where we want to analyze the connection from inside to outside ports. So, it helps with a lot of things. It depends on our needs."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is reporting."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since, in our company, we have never experienced the solution crashing or having any other issues."
"What I like the most is the monitoring system."
"Overall we are satisfied with all the features the solution provides."
"It's a very stable product."
"We use this functionality every day, and obtain reports on things like how many people are using the VPN, which websites are being accessed, and whether hackers are trying to penetrate into our network."
"The solution is easy to use and easy to integrate."
"The product's connectors should work better and the user manuals need an update."
"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."
"It is really difficult to work in ArcSight Logger, as it is very slow."
"I had some latency issues for two months. I had to increase our storage capacity significantly to reduce the latency."
"The solution must provide readymade connectors for different applications."
"ArcSight has been sold two or three times, and the quality has decreased."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer needs to have more out-of-the-box connectors for integration with other solutions."
"It doesn't easily integrate with other solutions."
"The integration between specific tenants and FortiAnalyzer can be simplified when utilizing a multi-tenant EMS for our FortiClient."
"The cloud version can be expensive. If the customers could get the resources to store the logs on-premises, it would be much better."
"Their pricing model is not the best and needs work."
"The FortiAnalyzer is not good at managing multi-version environments. If all your FortiGate are at different versions in the field, that's difficult. The one thing we didn't like is the fact you have to have 100% of your environment at the same release, which is not pleasant, to have it fully functional. You can have a different release, but to have it fully functional 100% of your environment has to be the same release."
"The following could be better: operation and maintenance, high-availability architecture, and management link embedded in the transmission link."
"The only issue that I can see is with the cost. For example, if you buy support for one year, you are messed up next year. It's better to buy another gateway."
