ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) Other Solutions Considered

Irfan Ali - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead Principal Architect at Injazat Data Systems

Securonix was a cheaper solution and more based on a data science foundation. It is good at handling structured data, making it an attractive option for open platform deployments.

Another is RapidX, which is an open-source platform based on the free ELK Stack, offering significant cost advantages. With some effort from our side as a Managed Service Provider, we were able to create a RapidX deployment that surpassed ArcSight in functionality.

ArcSight is a commercial, enterprise-grade solution. While it carries a higher price tag, it offers greater scalability suited for large-scale deployments.

We evaluated Curator. Curator is easier to set up than ArcSight, and it has a UI that is simpl to use.

We looked at three other solutions. I was working for a government organization, and there was an Indian company developing its own team. ArcSight was head and shoulders above the rest in features like aggregation filtering, bandwidth, parsing, etc. It was there.

Hopefully, we're still way ahead, but the IT data architecture is getting a bit complex with the introduction of Kubernetes and everything. It will be complicated in terms of resources, deployment, etc., but I think ArcSight can still be what it used to be if we sort this out.

LogRhythm has a better GUI and some automation options, like an automated password writing script. In Exabeam, I can see an event with the user's picture, which Exabeam can draw from the Active Directory. It has a better GUI, better performance, and customization. I expect these things from ArcSight, but it can't deliver yet.

This is the best SIEM solution on the market comparing to its competitors. I'm also familiar with IBM QRadar, RSA Security Analytics, McAfee Nitro, and Splunk.

I've been looking at Open Source SIEM recently, and paying a lot of attention to the others in the commercial market, like IBM and MacAfee, but I don't have any practical experience. I have heard mixed reviews about all of them (including AS from some folks I know). View full review »

At the time that we were looking into options, we did a PoC for Splunk. We found that ArcSight is more user-friendly than Splunk because Splunk uses more scripting in the configuration and initial setup.

I have some experience with Splunk and Curator.

There are a few differences. Splunk, for example, is a native cloud product. That makes it excellent for scalability. Any on-premise challenges a company might face are answered by Splunk.

In both solutions, you are able to integrate and manage other devices as well, which isn't necessarily true on Arcsight.

We also looked at Splunk and LogRhythm for every installation. All three have their own benefits. For large scale installations with multiple users and (sub) companies, ArcSight is the best option.

We are now working with open-source systems and Splunk solutions. We are decommissioning HPE ArcSight as it is getting impractical to manage and maintain the solution.

As a partner, we sell the product. We shifted from RSA to ArcSight based on our internal evaluations.

We tested McAfee Nitro, which was not mature enough at the time compared to ArcSight.

At a marketing level, we've checked out Splunk. We have not tested it internally on our servers. We simply took a closer look at their marketing and their strategic messaging.

According to the Gartner Reports and Gartner Reviews, the main competitors of the solution are IBM and Splunk. They provide their services world-wide and do much implementation in the region. 

the plus point for Arcsight ESM is having cross domain corelation feature.

We are actually moving to another solution because the roadmap is not clear. We are just a small team and we don't need to monitor 24/7. We're looking to replace it with another more intelligent solution like Splunk or Securonix.
