"I would like to see better scheduling in the next release of this solution."
"It is really difficult to work in ArcSight Logger, as it is very slow."
"The integration with other systems could be improved."
"The console in older versions is not user-friendly."
"The product's connectors should work better and the user manuals need an update."
"You have limited reporting capabilities and I wouldn't choose ArcSight Logger for this purpose."
"The next release should have AI capabilities."
"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."
"This solution could be improved if it offered the ability to analyze charts, such as a solution like Kibana."
"Lacking sufficient operations documentation."
"While we are satisfied with the overall performance, in certain cases we must add additional metrics and additional tools like Grafana and Dynatrace."
"If I want to track any round-trip or breakdowns of my response times, I'm not able to get it. My request goes through various levels of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and comes back to my client machine. Suppose that my request has taken 10 seconds overall, so if I want to break it down, to see where the delay is happening within my architecture, I am not able to find that out using Stackdriver."
"The logging functionality could be better."
"It could be even more automated."
"It is difficult to estimate in advance how much something is going to cost."
"The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."
