Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The technical support team is good...It is a scalable solution.""ArcSight's robustness is its most valuable feature.""The most valuable feature is the search capability, which is simple to use.""Some of the most valuable features I really appreciate are the performance, how quick the solution is, and how easy it is to create a query.""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.""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.""The ability to customize the solution in great detail is its most valuable features. We can customize the use cases and also have the ability to do scripting. We can personalize our dashboard as well. The scalability the solution offers is quite impressive.""It's a robust, mature product and you can do some really complex operations and analytics."

"In terms of monitoring, my best feature would be the monitoring of components across the network. It monitors the respective nodes and any new node that comes onto the network and provides reports. The reporting dashboards are really helpful for management in terms of making decisions around patch management.""As we have to service several servers, we can manage them in a economical way, which is beneficial to our team and business.""The feature that I liked the most is that they have a vulnerability assessment package that comes along with the SIEM solution. So, whenever I find any threat or alert for any of the devices or servers, I could immediately initiate a vulnerability assessment scan on that machine. That is one of a kind. The price at which AlienVault operates is also valuable.""The asset management of nodes has been a large help in terms of being able to track applications with more detail and have changes made being monitored into one source.""OTX is a great module that lets staff maintain and monitor updates regarding events in the infrastructure and takes decision to improve the security perimeter.""The Event Correlation and vulnerability scans have been the most useful. As a 24/7 SOC, we use the incoming alarms to give an overview of suspicious traffic going through the network. It's easy to look at the correlated events and see the broad picture of traffic for that customer. Vulnerability scans are good for providing patch and remediation guidelines to keep customer systems secure.""The other big selling feature for us was its integration capabilities with all the other security-based products.""The best thing about AlienVault USM is it being a “Jack-of-All Trades” solution. It provides SIEM, HIDS/NIDS, FIM, NetFlow, Asset Management, Vulnerability Management, etc., under one USM platform. None of the commercial SIEM vendors like ArcSight, McAfee, etc., can boast of such a diverse feature set."

Cons
"The integration with other systems could be improved.""I would like to see better scheduling in the next release of this solution.""The speed of Logger indexing and searching for certain bugs for some queries that we provide could be improved. It can handle a huge number of logs but it can be improved.""Using the ArcSight Logger dashboard is not particularly intuitive or efficient, so it is important to be trained in its use.""The solution could be improved in maintenance settings.""It is really difficult to work in ArcSight Logger, as it is very slow.""The product's connectors should work better and the user manuals need an update.""I think the ArcSight team should try to simplify legacy products for the customers, because that product is not easy to use or to work with. It needs more more competency or appeal to use. We hope Micro Focus is trying to resolve this."

More ArcSight Logger Cons →

"As this software is in the cloud, you do not have control on updates and general changes which are happening.""Adding a parsing interface for the customers would make AT&T AlienVault USM better.""There are many reports included but would be nice to have better access to the data.""Source material on the forums to be more up-to-date with the changes happening within the product. Forums being out-of-date with information due to the changes makes troubleshooting a little more difficult - specific to the HIDS agents.""Search performance can be slow. The Raw Logs feature is painfully slow. And if we're talking about the newer, the Anywhere product, you can't even schedule reports on the thing. There are probably a dozen other features I'd really like to see there, but that would be one of the biggies.""The solution is a bit complicated. It could be simplified quite a bit.""There could be some type of integration with our existing portal. We have our own customer portals, and it would be good if there was an integration so that our portal can provide reports. There could be some type of API into the AlienVault system with the USM system so that it is easy to show the customers high-level reports of the system through our portal.""AlienVault needs to continue to integrate with other third-party technologies that clients want to have monitored."
