Good filtering and reporting tools but can be difficult to use
It can scale as needed. It's not a problem. There are different teams using it. We have CSOC, which is internal, which is onshore, then we have a security operations center that is offshore, which would be in India. The onshore team might be a group of three, and the offshore might be a group of five. Likely, we have eight to ten people in total using the product directly.

Security Specialist - UEBA SIEM Admin at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Smooth and fast search capabilities with customizable dashboards enhance user experience
For improvement, I have requested three enhancement tickets, which are already lodged with the Gurucul support team. The first request is to add a visualization option in reports for charts or graphs. I have also requested new dashboard features. In the query box, there's a bug where taking an attribute at the end does not return data, but placing it elsewhere does. The support system could be more equipped.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Investigating an incident has become super easy and helpful."
"The correlation engine is good."
"Our organization has improved because ArcSight allows multiple integrations with multiple systems which we did not do before using the product."
"Allows multiple integrations with multiple systems in a stable and flexible fashion."
"This is a very stable solution. It is the most stable ESM that I have worked with."
"The ability to correlate different logs is the solution's most valuable feature."
"This solution allows us to identify connections for all users, and we can see the name, login time, IP address, and other information for each connection to each server."
"Less resource consumption in terms of memory and processing."
"I appreciate the comprehensive categorization of devices based on their intended use, such as those for DNS."
"The most valuable feature of Gurucul is the ability to customize and it is on the Hadoop platform that has a lot of flexibility."
"If you are genuinely looking for a UEBA solution, you should choose Gurucul confidently if your need is strictly UEBA."
"The reporting feature was the key differentiator, and I also liked the ability to create dynamic rules in the environment."
 

Cons

"I would like to see integration with automation products, such as Phantom Automation."
"I faced stability issues with Windows Operating System. The installed connectors hang if they remain idle for a long period of time."
"It's a difficult product to navigate, it's complex."
"You can use this solution for limited use cases. But for more advanced use cases, there are other solutions which are better than ArcSight."
"I would like to see orchestration."
"The UX for the SOC analyst does not match that of the competitors, and therefore needs improvement."
"Customer service has not been up to the mark. They take longer than they should to resolve issues."
"The interactive dashboard is more complicated comparing to his concurrent Qradar and you need to have training in order to do complexe configuration, so I think that it could be made easier to use."
"The support could improve. I would rate the support from Gurucul a two out of five."
"It could be more stable. Sometimes when working in multiple customer environments, there were some issues with features."
"Technical support is good but can improve. I would rate it six to seven out of ten. The main issue is response time, which can take three to four hours even for simple queries."
"It could be more stable."
"Regarding the prioritization of threats, Gurucul UEBA needs to enhance its alert severity assignment process within the system."
"Gurucul can improve on the online documentation. They should educate the end users more to allow them to do everything themselves."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My customers pay a yearly licensing fee for ArcSight Analytics."
"The monthly licensing fee is around $20,000. There aren't any costs in addition to the standard licensing fee."
"This solution is expensive."

"It can range between $30,000 and $40,000 USD, and can go up to $500,000 and $600,000 USD."
"ArcSight Analytics is a bit expensive compared with other tools in terms of licensing costs, training, hardware implementation, and support."
