The solution is stable because we have been using this product for quite a number of clients. They use ArcSight as a primary tool for SIEM. We have been using it in the cyber security space for quite a long time. It is stable, but people are needed to manage this tool.

Absolutely, the new CORR engine is a vast improvement but was pushed out to customers too quickly. Several key components of our analysis workflow broke due to the new event processing scheme.

During the pandemic, there were challenges related to stability, particularly with the discrepancy in events being pulled in. The issue was attributed to connectors, and there were problems with certificates that needed updating. As a result, events were regularly stopped by these connectors. I rate the tool's stability a seven out of ten.

Subhadip Pakrashi
CEO at Kapstone Technological Services LLP
ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) is a stable solution. However, it depends on how well it's deployed in the customer's location.
Because SIEM doesn't have much to do with blocking the traffic, even if it doesn't get deployed well, it doesn't matter to the customer because the work is going on, and the traffic is flowing in.
It's just that the correlation will never happen. The security post of the company goes for all; that's the only problem. Apart from that, there would be no problem with the operations website.

We have had some issues on the SmartConnector layer, since not all parsers provide perfect results (especially in the case of proxy data). Also, there have been some issues on the HA modules, since HA works sort of like a local r-sync (no remote HA).

Overall, the product stability is very good. But without continuous tuning of the developed content and improper usage of the product, you can encounter performance issues with ESM/Express, and sometimes hangs, which requires a services restart.

Security Response Engineer at a media company with 10,001+ employees
Whether we've had issues with stability is a hard thing to say because we're on the cutting edge of virtualization. When we were on older hardware with physical servers, it was relatively stable. But we ran into issues with support, and we decided to virtualize a lot of the it -- everything from the loggers to the ESM. We see a lot of performance gains, but our biggest hangup is support. The tool itself is great, but when we run into a hiccup, it seems they don't have the expertise on the support side to get us quickly back to where we need to be.

We had stability issues only in a virtual environment, which is not recommended by the vendor for a high-load setup. The main virtual server would crash every now and then. But once we had migrated the setup to a dedicated physical server, we had no major stability issues.

I would prefer to roll out HPE ArcSight ESM on physical hardware. Without proper tuning, running ESM on VMware does not work well. Loggers and connectors work fine on virtual components.
10,000 events per second, including correlation, on pretty normal hardware work well.

In general, it is a very stable product. We did multiple implementations, and we never had any major issues.
As with any other solution that handles a large number of logs/data, regular fine-tuning is required. This fine-tuning makes sure that the system is doing what is supposed to do, with the capacity load that it was designed/sized to do

My opinion from a stability's standpoint ... we don't have any issues. The product runs 24/7/365. Whenever HPE introduces a patch or an enhancement for security concerns, we've never had a problem being able to ingest that on the fly with little-to-no downtime outside of what's been expected from the release of the patch.
