We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It makes maintenance very easy.""We use ArcSight ESM for log analysis and security alerts. It warns us of threats and then helps us conduct a forensic investigation of a cyber attack or internal incident after it happens.""The product is quite mature. It's been around for a long time.""The most valuable feature of ArcSight ESM is its ease of use.""The most useful features are directories, price, and live reporting.""The most important feature is ArcSight's event correlation capabilities. It's powerful and easy. I also like the flex connector capability. It's easy to develop a new connector that isn't fully supported out of the box. For example, say you created a solution internally that's completely different, and it's not unsupported by the solution. You can write your own connector using the flex connector.""ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) works perfectly. It's a stable and scalable product.""This process has helped to improve our organization because we have centralized the intra-group security equipment logs."

"The solution is efficient.""The interface is user-friendly.""The most valuable feature is the capability of the command used by the machine so that we see the kind of performance that is running.""They do a very good job of providing multi-stage visualizations of malicious operations that immediately show all attack details across all devices and users. Since it is MalOp-centric model, you can see if there has been a similar operation across multiple machines. If it is the same thing appearing on multiple machines, you see all the machines and users affected in one screen.""What I like most about Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response is the support because the support is good. The solution is also easy to use, and it has a dashboard. Everything is good, and there's no problem with it.""The initial setup was easy and straightforward.""The initial setup is not overly complicated.""The initial setup process is straightforward."

Cons
"The tool should improve its UI. It also should make data more searchable.""They also could improve the product by integrating user and identity behavior analytics.""When we need to consume old events, we have to wait for a long time. ArcSight should improve the database capability to reply to queries faster. It would also be interesting if they implemented network visibility. For example, they could add a feature like NetWitness with a model just for looking through the packets.""The weakness in this system comes about because, with so many different logs, it is possible that the security analyst will lose information.""The stability isn't quite perfect. We occasionally run into problems.""It is quite complex and could use a better UI. So the improvement would be a simplification. It is pretty complicated to use. The architecture is not complex but the setup and use are.""We would like the ability to easily identify either unused resources or those that are being used sub-optimally.""There could be more API features for extracting logs on different devices included in the product."

More ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) Cons →

"The deployment on individual endpoints is more geared toward larger organizations. It might prove to be a bit too complicated for a smaller organization. You need to know what you're doing when you're deploying the sensor.""They need to improve their technical support services.""Its Microsoft PowerShell protections still need some compatibility improvements. We have run across just a few. It is compatible with 90% of what we have in our network, but there is that 10% that we are still struggling with as far as compatibility with the type of PowerShell scripts needed to run our day-to-day business.""It should be more stable, and the sensor needs improvement in terms of connectivity.""There can be problems with the EDI.""While the product is very good, there are still some areas for improvement. The initial triage area could be a bit simpler. They get into the weeds real fast; it gets very detailed very fast. I am still looking for an easier triage layer on top with the ability to dig deeper.""The integration with Microsoft solutions and Microsoft capabilities needs to be improved.""Compared to our previous endpoint, we have a lot more false positives and a lot more duplication of alerts. So we're chasing more alerts."
