Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is one of the best products available in the market.""We check a lot of logs in ArcSight Logger because we're running a massive database platform.""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.""We haven't had any crashes or bugs. It is stable.""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 provides the basic information that we want.""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.""The solution provides information about the risk factors."

"The solution's simplicity, flexibility, and extensibility are valuable features as we can integrate everything in vRealize.""One of the things I like about it is its interface. When it comes to generating reports on VMs and stuff, it's very quick. This is very handy for the technical team, who need to generate reports quickly. So that's really good.""The virtualization solution supports data center virtualization, network and security.""It is very scalable and can handle a large workload.""What I like is that you can have different storage locations for different applications.""It is a very useful tool if you have a VMware environment.""Our current costs are too high, and this tool will help us to better optimize our infrastructure.""The trace log is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very helpful in troubleshooting problems."

Cons
"Using the ArcSight Logger dashboard is not particularly intuitive or efficient, so it is important to be trained in its use.""The product's connectors should work better and the user manuals need an update.""I would rate the technical support only 5 out of 10. The technical support is not satisfactory.""In the next release, I want to see more intelligence.""You have limited reporting capabilities and I wouldn't choose ArcSight Logger for this purpose.""The solution must provide readymade connectors for different applications.""The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost.""The solution should make it possible to integrate network analysis features."

More ArcSight Logger Cons →

"I don't use the solution on a day to day basis, so I'm not sure what specifically can be improved.""It's great for VMware, but it would be good if they had third-party logins.""The solution is a very good tool, but it has a lot of limitations. One of the main issues is around how you define your retention policy, for instance, in Log Insight. It doesn't have it. You can't define a log retention policy. You also can't define the destination or location for your logs. All of the logs are in one index or one bucket.""The pricing of the solution could be improved.""In vRealize login files, we have limitations regarding log partitions.""From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made more user-friendly.""Paid or free does not matter, but it is complex to find good training material for vRealize Log Insight.""The tool is expensive."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "ArcSight Logger is very expensive compared to their competitors, but when we talk to the customer and explain what the features are and how we can scale, they understand. Still, ArcSight is more expensive than the competition."
  • "The pricing is quite harsh."
  • "It's not cheap at all as it's a big product and has been in the market for quite some time now."
  • "ArcSight is an expensive solution."
  • "I would rate the product a seven out of ten since it's an enterprise product."
  • "I rate the product’s pricing a seven out of ten, where one is inexpensive, and ten is expensive."

  • "Pricing could always be lower. If it were free, I would be more satisfied."
  • "The license cost for any other monitoring tool is too high compared to this product."
  • "Pricing is good because it is part of the suite package. It comes in a bundle for us."
  • "The licensing cost for vRealize Log Insight is a little higher, so in terms of cost, it all depends upon what kind of environment you have. If you have a complete virtualized environment, or at least you're using a ninety-five percent virtualized environment, then vRealize Log Insight will play a very good role because it is a VMware component, so it has very tight integration with other VMware components and systems. This means you don't have to procure any other monitoring and management tool, and you don't need a separate automation tool. vRealize Log Insight will have an upper hand if your environment is purely virtualized on VMware. If you're using a mix of physical and virtual components, for example, a 50:50 ratio, then you need to have a third-party component to manage overall monitoring."
  • "I am not sure what the exact cost is. However, I believe the vRealize suite costs $2,500.00 per year."
  • "I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
  • "I think it is a reasonably priced product."
  • "The pricing has been updated recently."
