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 ability to customize the solution in great detail is its most valuable features.

"It is a highly stable solution...It is a highly scalable solution.""The virtualization solution supports data center virtualization, network and security.""One of the things I like about it is its interface. When it comes to generating reports on VMs and stuff, it's very quick. This is very handy for the technical team, who need to generate reports quickly. So that's really good.""The root cause analysis feature is very valuable.""It gives the customer a quick overview, so they don't have to dig. There's a clear dashboard with many sensors in a single space. He gets a helicopter view of his environment, but he can investigate further if there are serious issues.

Cons
"The next release should have AI capabilities.""The solution should make it possible to integrate network analysis features.""I would rate the technical support only 5 out of 10. The technical support is not satisfactory.""I would like to see better scheduling in the next release of this solution.""Using the ArcSight Logger dashboard is not particularly intuitive or efficient, so it is important to be trained in its use.""You have limited reporting capabilities and I wouldn't choose ArcSight Logger for this purpose.""I think the ArcSight team should try to simplify legacy products for the customers, because that product is not easy to use or to work with. It needs more more competency or appeal to use. We hope Micro Focus is trying to resolve this.""The product's connectors should work better and the user manuals need an update."

More ArcSight Logger Cons →

"The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring.""The solution isn't user-friendly for admins.""The solution should be more user-friendly. The user interface and dashboard could be simplified.""I think that it should be able to integrate with other third-party backup and recovery solutions, more that it does now.""In vRealize login files, we have limitations regarding log partitions.""Log retention should have more options for user control.""Technical support should be improved.""I don't use the solution on a day to day basis, so I'm not sure what specifically can be improved."

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."
