Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ESM use cases are the most valuable. It enables us to use the big data collection inside our company. We are able to create use cases for whatever it suits and I find that the most interesting part of any SIEM solution."
"The solution provides information about the risk factors."
"It's a robust, mature product and you can do some really complex operations and analytics."
"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."
"ArcSight's robustness is its most valuable feature."
"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."
"Our return on investment for implementing ArcSight Logger over the past 12 months has been positive."
"In terms of ArcSight Logger's most valuable feature, it is their scalability. ArcSight's real advantage is its scalability because they have two layers, including the logger layer."
"Based on the logs of Fortinet FortiAnalyzer you can have it trigger actions. For example, if the log has a word or a sentence you specified it can send an alert or Syslog to an email address."
"The product works well with other products."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to analyze data in real-time using AR features to pull data from the industrial DB. You can know what is going on and see in milliseconds where the network is underperforming."
"The product can scale."
"Technical reports clearly identify system checks, locations and areas, how many times things escape, which firewall is affected, and source IDs."
"The features that our customers have found most valuable are their different type of reports including the drill down report, as well as the flexibility to connect to any number of appliances which can be connected to it centrally."
"We like the fact that we can run minute-by-minute reporting form this solution."
"There are customizable workflows that you can work with. You can automate certain tasks in FortiAnaylzer in the incidents and events sections."
"The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost."
"I would rate the technical support only 5 out of 10. The technical support is not satisfactory."
"The solution should make it possible to integrate network analysis features."
"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."
"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."
"I had some latency issues for two months. I had to increase our storage capacity significantly to reduce the latency."
"The next release should have AI capabilities."
"It is really difficult to work in ArcSight Logger, as it is very slow."
"I don't find Fortinet FortiAnalyzer to be as robust as Check Point Security Management."
"I think some improvement is required in real-time log monitoring, as sometimes it gets stuck or displays results after a delay."
"We would like to see some improvement on the upgrade process around this solution. There are sometimes communication issues when a new version of the firewall is implemented, and it fails to report back to this product."
"Fortinet FortiAnalyzer could improve the user interface, and the experience of users receiving the reports and tracking could be better."
"The following could be better: operation and maintenance, high-availability architecture, and management link embedded in the transmission link."
"They could improve the user interface a bit."
"We are concerned about the compliance of our policy and institutional philosophy."
"The UI could use some improvement. It can be tough for a beginner to navigate because you don't know what to do even if you read the guide. I've talked to some users who said that they couldn't figure out what to do even after looking at the documentation."
