ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) Previous Solutions

Ramnesh  Dubey - PeerSpot reviewer
Solutions Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

I have used IBM Security QRadar, Splunk , and even RSA Network. 

Product-wise, RSA Network doesn't support multi-tenancy, while both IBM Security QRadar and ArcSight do. This allows us to manage multiple customers within a single setup. However, Splunk and LogRhythm are not multi-tenant.

Currently, most companies are starting to offer multiple cybersecurity solutions. So, within a single setup, they can now provide solutions for all their customers.

I used Securonix but decommissioned it because we didn't like it. 

We also used LogRhythm.

I also use Splunk and sometimes Sentinel.

This is the oldest SIM I have been working on. After that, Splunk came into the market. I worked for Accenture, and Splunk gave free training because of the partnership with Accenture. Their training framework was good compared to ArcSight. A lot of people started switching to Splunk. Nobody's support is perfect, but Splunk's support is almost perfect and better than ArcSight.

The primary factor is the cost. ArcSight is cost-effective, but Splunk is not because it charges for UBA, and ArcSight charges on EPS. Splunk is also in automation and machine-learning tools. So, if a customer is willing to spend big so they can switch to Splunk, that's what I've seen for most of the clients.

I have used McAfee Nitro, IBM QRadar, and DNIF HyperCloud. Other solutions aren't as simple to set up or as stable. ArcSight is better in terms of coverage. The technology is more than 20 years old.

I have used QRadar and Splunk. Both have great functionality that make them easy to use, but ArcSight has a very consistent layout and their logic is easy to figure out.

I have worked with IBM QRadar. IBM QRadar is very expensive, and it is not easy to deploy like ArcSight. It can't be deployed without an SME. ArcSight is better than IBM QRadar.

We moved from a managed outsource service, provided by a competitor. He wanted to in-source it, or in-house it, so we had the ability to be a little bit more effective and nimble.

No, the folks I work for were at ArcSight before HP acquired it and have always been users and proponents of it. It's a powerful product for sure. View full review »

I have used RSA enVision, QRadar and Splunk. ArcSight is better than them all when it comes to filtering, normalization, aggregation, dashboards, reporting and correlation, multi-tenancy and custom devices support.

I have also used LogRhythm, which in my opinion has less features than ArcSight. 80% of use cases work well on both, for the most interesting 20%, I would use ArcSight.

I have used many products that cover some of the territory claimed by ArcSight, including: Sourcefire 3D, ELSA, Sguil/Squert, RSA Security Analytics and Splunk. None of these were as comprehensive as ArcSight.

As a systems integrator, we constantly evaluate different solutions and deploy not one but many of them. My personal opinion is that a crucial feature for a SIEM system is flexibility. The more you can tune, adjust, and develop the system, you will get more profit from it. If we're talking about SIEM solutions, then no one can offer such flexibility as ArcSight. Splunk maybe, but Splunk is not SIEM, and to get SIEM-like features from it you spend more time and money.

We worked with RSA enVision/RSA SA as a partner:

  • RSA enVision was very basic and was very hard to fine-tune.
  • RSA SA (logs/packets) is more oriented towards packets/investigation and lacks multiple features when only using it for log management/SIEM.

Well we have different tools out there, but the most common ones everybody's going to know about is Splunk. Feature, function and price was why we switched When we're able to actually deliver the similar features and functions, add in additional intellectual property from HPE with respect to decision trees of ArcSight and being able to take tangible actions on the stuff that's coming inbound, that's great. Other tools can do that. Now you're just talking about price in the industry. We're able to deliver the same features and functionality at a lower cost to the client, typically we'll win with ArcSight.
