Pros
"ArcSight's robustness is its most valuable feature.""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.""Our return on investment for implementing ArcSight Logger over the past 12 months has been positive.""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 a robust, mature product and you can do some really complex operations and analytics.""We haven't had any crashes or bugs.

The reverse index allows fast data indexing because of Elastic's efficient search engine.""Enables monitoring of application performance and the ability to predict behaviors.""The cost is reasonable. It's not overly pricey.""Elastic Security is very customizable, and the dashboards are very easy to build.""The most valuable features are the speed, detail, and visualization. It has the latest standards.""We like Elastic Security because it's a REST API-based solution. That's the primary reason we use it.""I like the indexing of the logs.""ELK is open-source, and it will give you the framework you need to build everything from scratch."

Cons
"ArcSight has been sold two or three times, and the quality has decreased.""The integration with other systems could be improved.""The console in older versions is not user-friendly.""Using the ArcSight Logger dashboard is not particularly intuitive or efficient, so it is important to be trained in its use.""The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost.""The next release should have AI capabilities.""We find that the search and access functionality is quite slow.""It would be better if the product is cheaper."

More ArcSight Logger Cons →

"Elastic Security's maintenance is hard and its scalability is a challenge. There are complications in scaling and upgrading. The solution needs to also provide periodic upgrade checks.""There is room for improvement in the Kibana dashboard and in the asset management for the program.""This solution cannot do predictive maintenance, so we have to build our own modules for doing it.""It is difficult to anticipate and understand the space utilization, so more clarity there would be great.""The solution needs to be more reactive to investigations. We need to be able to detect and prevent any attacks before it can damage our infrastructure. Currently, this solution doesn't offer that.""We'd like to see some more artificial intelligence capabilities.""The solution does not have a UI and this is one of the reasons we are looking for another solution.""Elastic Security has a steep learning curve, so it takes some time to tune it and set it up for your environment. There are some costs associated with logging things that don't have value. So you need to be cautious to only log things that make sense and keep them around for as long as you need. You shouldn't hold onto things just because you think you might need them."
