Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"ArcSight provides the basic information that we want.""We have a trigger. So, Logger automatically blocks these IP addresses. We could have Logger put them on a blacklist.""I am impressed with the product's ability to pick up logs. It also has UEBA which has reduced the time to take charge of the events.""It's an efficient solution.""We check a lot of logs in ArcSight Logger because we're running a massive database platform.""ArcSight's robustness is its most valuable feature.""It's a brilliant log collection tool, and it can handle hundreds of thousands of servers in a single shot to ingest the data.""In our country we are a little bit private in terms of solutions, so we are just starting to use the basic data capture. Now some users can start to use additional features that come with Micro Focus ArcSight like user behavior analytics for investigating."

More ArcSight Logger Pros →

"The log search capabilities are very good.""The Splunk search is powerful compared to similar solutions. We get millions of data points within seconds.""For my current requirements, the tool theme seems to be meeting my requirements, from a cost and requirements perspective.""Splunk Cloud Platform's most valuable features are enterprise security and ticketing integration.""In my organization, Splunk Cloud Platform has improved the issue revolving around transactions.""The solution is user friendly and has extensive uses.""Its interconnectivity with the cloud platforms, such as Azure and AWS, was valuable.""Index manager is most valuable because we do not have to bother about internal storage. It is all managed by the Splunk team."

Cons
"The solution could be improved in maintenance settings.""The solution must provide readymade connectors for different applications.""In the next release, I want to see more intelligence.""It would be better if the product is cheaper.""We find that the search and access functionality is quite slow.""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.""It's not a new product and is a bit complex. So, it requires a person dedicated to working on it and to know about it in and out. It is a huge product, and the search operation is a bit complicated for a new user or someone who has not used it for long. So for that person, it becomes a bit difficult."

More ArcSight Logger Cons →

"The search for bulk data needs to be improved. When we were looking for the flow, we had to search really hard. I wanted to request the Splunk team to add some features for better search because getting the flow of the bulk data was sometimes hard.""Support is the bigger issue when we have a problem. When we need their help, it takes weeks or months to actually get resolved.""The only thing that is missing from Splunk Cloud is the command-line interface.""There could be better searches, but mainly, it needs to improve the performance with a vast amount of data. That will make it better and easier to use.""The dashboards should be easier to customize.""In the case of knowledge objects, even a Splunk admin does not have access to delete them. If we want to remove a knowledge object, we need to contact Splunk support and raise a case. After that, they delete it. They should give us access to delete knowledge objects.""Splunk should offer various options for real-time monitoring.""There can be more modules and more integration with other areas in the cloud and on-prem. I am not sure whether it includes network devices and things like that."

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 →

  • "The licensing is based on the amount of data that we send to the cloud on a daily basis."
  • "The price is something that people complain about."
  • "The licensing costs depend on the state of your environment and the fees are paid on a monthly basis."
  • "The pricing model makes this an expensive solution."
  • "There are additional features that you would need to purchase depending on your use case."
  • "The cost of using Splunk Cloud Platform is high, but the value it provides is worth the investment."
  • "I am familiar with the pricing and licensing model a little bit. I am not sure about the particulars of the actual price that we have, but I do like the idea of going towards a more CPU-based approach rather than the ingest approach because it allows us the ability to ingest more data if we need it."
  • "It is a touchy subject because we are locked into it. That goes back to the rehydrating data. We cannot have the retention that we want to store for legal and compliance purposes because that is seven years' worth of data for some of the indexes, so we ship them off into S3 buckets and install them there, at which point they are invisible to Splunk, so we have to rehydrate them, but we cannot rehydrate those pockets into Splunk Cloud. We have to rehydrate them into a self-hosted version of Splunk, which can take days to set up and get going. I would not call Splunk's licensing and pricing predatory, but they have made it very difficult to maintain the independence of your own data."
