Cons
"I would rate the technical support only 5 out of 10. The technical support is not satisfactory.""It's not a new product and is a bit complex. So, it requires a person dedicated to working on it and to know about it in and out. It is a huge product, and the search operation is a bit complicated for a new user or someone who has not used it for long. So for that person, it becomes a bit difficult.""The integration with other systems could be improved.""It is really difficult to work in ArcSight Logger, as it is very slow.""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 next release should have AI capabilities.""The product's connectors should work better and the user manuals need an update."
