We performed a comparison between ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) and Sentinel based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Very good real-time reporting with a good dashboard."
"The correlation feature is good."
"The solution has gone beyond signature-based monitoring and analysis and is AI-powered. It is good enough to cover the full range of cybersecurity services."
"The webpage algorithm is the most valuable feature because it was the fastest feature for searching the logs, events, and correlation."
"Some of the benefits of using this solution are rapid correlation and near-time response on alerts."
"For the typical malware or intrusion, this solution assists us by identifying the symptoms based on network traffic from the application servers."
"It is a very useful tool for intelligence building because it has many use cases and many rule sets."
"ArcSight gives us better visibility into threats that were unknown earlier."
"One of the most valuable features is the business intelligence engine. It's very important because it keeps track of everything that's happening and alerts us if something is different than expected. The first time I used it, I was shocked at how well it performed. Another valuable feature that I think makes this product worth the price you pay for it is that it connects to basically every system that provides some form of logging, and it's very easy to set up what triggers this."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides a central locking system for many event sources."
"It makes everything easier by automating some tasks and growing with our needs."
"The solution's Kusto Query Language (KQL) execution time is pretty good."
"The tool is simple to use."
"The most valuable feature is the flexible log for identifying security threats inside an application. Sentinel is very good at this."
"The solution lets us get all the logs properly and regularly monitor customer infrastructure."
"The native integration with out-of-the box format is hassle free and allows data to be used advantageously."
"We have pricing issues. ArcSight ESM may not be the most user-friendly option, and its interface is quite traditional. However, despite these aspects, we find it a good cybersecurity solution. It needs to improve the dashboards, documentation, and support as well."
"The onboarding process for this solution could be better. It also needs a better GUI."
"The dashboard looks a bit cumbersome."
"ArcSight ESM could improve the alerts for the storage capacities or actions."
"There are several improvements that we would like to see, including: Building a system based on a log collection (SOC), a scenario for external encroachment, and Operator training."
"ArcSight ESM is lacking cloud scalable technology."
"The product should include a lot more predefined scenarios so the adopted company will have knowledge and a broader skill set in security and network."
"The centralized dashboard for the hybrid cloud environment needs to be more focused. It needs to be redefined because it's missing most of the information. It should be a little bit easy to use. Currently, integration with various applications and connectors is not that easy. Deployment is easy, but integration is not that easy. ArcSight also has a very high bandwidth consumption to pull the local servers. It should have some kind of better process or ability to transfer files from on-premises to the cloud, from the cloud to on-premises, and from a cloud to another cloud."
"There is no integration in the web-side of the tool."
"Creating a drag-and-drop dashboard or workbook in Sentinel is a little more complex compared to other tools like LogRhythm and IBM QRadar."
"The dashboard and customer view should be improved"
"The solution does not allow outsourced authorizations."
"You need a lot of Unix scripting knowledge in order to manage the tool, which is one of the main issues that we faced."
"It is an ancient product."
"I rate Sentinel a six out of ten for scalability."
"I would like to see a better reporting work structure on the dashboard."
