Pros
"ArcSight Analytics has improved our system and network policy monitoring.""The most valuable feature is the log monitoring.""One of the most valuable features is the alerts.""The two most valuable features of this solution are its stability and scalability.""The most valuable features are that you get lots of connectors, which make it easy to log in to my ASM, and lots of prebuilt roles from the company.""This solution allows us to identify connections for all users.""The solution is easy to implement.""The correlation engine is good."

"Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried.""Because of some of the visualizations that we utilize, we are able to understand strange, unusual traffic on our networks.""The most valuable feature is the ability to search through a large amount of data.""The solution appears to be stable, although we haven't used it heavily.""We are really pleased with Splunk and its features. It would be practically impossible to function without it. To provide a general overview of the system, it's important to note that the standard log files are currently around 250 gigabytes per day. It would be impossible to manually walk through these logs by hand, which is why automation is essential.""The product is at the forefront of auto-remediation networking. It's great.""The most valuable feature is being able to take data and put it into other systems so that we could see the output, and to see where we need to apply our focus.""This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled."

Cons
"ArcSight's features that can be improved include anything related to its visualization capabilities and user friendliness.""It needs more user analytics and aggregation user queries. And it's slow. When you query over ArcSight, it is very slow.""I would like to see orchestration.""The interactive dashboard is complicated and you need to have training in order to use it, so I think that it could be made easier to use.""The customer service could be improved, and additional integrations with other APIs could be added.""It's a difficult product to navigate, it's complex.""I would like to see integration with automation products, such as Phantom Automation.""The reporting and the way it is worded needs to be improved in future releases. The dashboards are quite poorly designed."

More ArcSight Analytics Cons →

"The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need.""We want to have an automated system for bot hunting that enables us to detect anomalies predictively based on historical data. It would be helpful if Splunk included process mining as an alternative option. We have a threat workflow, but it would be useful if we could supplement that with some process mining capabilities over time.""If the price was lowered and the setup process was less complex, I would consider rating it higher.""The solution is much more expensive than relative competitors like ArcSight or LogRhythm. It makes it hard to sell to customers sometimes.""Currently, a lot of network operations need improvement. We still need people to handle incidents. Our vision is to leverage status and convert it directly from the network devices. It would be ideal if we could take action using APIs and API code and remove manual processes.""They should work to add more built-in correlation searches and more use cases based on worldwide customer experiences. They need more ready-made use cases.""The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization.""We'd like the ability to do custom searches."
