We performed a comparison between ArcSight Logger and Check Point Security Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"It's an efficient solution."
"The log digestion features from threat intelligence platforms like Recorded Future or Talos are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the level of detail that you can see about certain events, even when they do not come up in the console."
"Our return on investment for implementing ArcSight Logger over the past 12 months has been positive."
"We haven't had any crashes or bugs. It is stable."
"The solution provides information about the risk factors."
"Check Point has been very effective in terms of threat management and comprehensive protection against vulnerabilities, and it has given us confidence that our data is not going anywhere."
"The Check Point Management server is isolated from security gateways, which means that in case there is an issue, we have our configuration ready and we can directly replace the device and push the configuration."
"The company uses software called Harmony. Check Point integrates nicely, whether on an endpoint or mobile device. It integrates well with the firewall and can give me reports that I can check without going to an online portal."
"The firewall cleverly handles such attacks without compromising on performance."
"Check Point Security Management Server offers a wide range of security features, including firewall, intrusion prevention, VPN, application control, and threat prevention capabilities."
"HA Structure provides good coverage and works fine."
"As the security administrator, who is responsible for the day-to-day tasks (e.g. creating new firewall rules, monitoring the security alerts and incidents etc.) and the maintenance (e.g. installing the new Jumbo Hotfixes), I find the Check Point Security Management R80.10 to be the great solution."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Security Management is the high level of visibility"
"The next release should have AI capabilities."
"We have had problems with archiving."
"I had some latency issues for two months. I had to increase our storage capacity significantly to reduce the latency."
"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."
"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."
"It would be better if the product is cheaper."
"I would like to see better scheduling in the next release of this solution."
"We find that the search and access functionality is quite slow."
"It would be helpful if we could enable URL and application traffic control remote access."
"We would like to improve the upgrade process in order to do mass upgrades to firewalls and to be able to upgrade target firewalls at the same time."
"It would be great if the SmartView Monitor could become integrated into the SmartView Console Platform."
"The application filtering and URL filtering could be better."
"It could improve by showing DNS-specific information for connections to unknown public IPs."
"While the console and administration work well, they have to work on performance since it consumes a lot of CPU and memory."
"In the future, I would like the platform to be able to integrate or manage appliances or third-party equipment."
"Sometimes the security system slows down when it is overloaded."
