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.

Information Security at Synechron
Has essential threat detection capabilities, but the features for intelligence need enhancement
We integrated this tool with our security infrastructure. We installed it on a Linux server, where we have a Logger and ESM installed. With the Linux server as the hub, we manage all the configurations and rules, including those for email triggers. The logs are routed through a connector to the Logger, allowing us to monitor our infrastructure effectively. The platform helps us improve threat detection capabilities. I recommend it to others and rate it a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our organization has improved because ArcSight allows multiple integrations with multiple systems which we did not do before using the product."
"This product improves visibility, whereas prior to implementing this solution there is no visibility."
"The features I have found most valuable are its capabilities for behavioral analytics and anomaly detection."
"Less resource consumption in terms of memory and processing."
"We have seen a measurable decrease, by about 20 percent, in the mean time to detect and respond to risks."
"This solution allows us to identify connections for all users."
"The data collection and the integration with different products are valuable features."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"The product has a valuable interface."
"The platform helps us improve threat detection capabilities."
"The ability to tailor an environment to suit our specific use cases is a major advantage of ArcSight compared to other logging servers such as Splunk."
"We found the correlation engine to be very good, as it takes logs from different types of devices and does the correlation in a good way."
"The most valuable feature of ArcSight Intelligence is a single console where the entire dashboard gives all the connected details in a single place."
 

Cons

"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 reporting and the way it is worded needs to be improved in future releases. The dashboards are quite poorly designed."
"This is not a solution that I would recommend."
"Customer service has not been up to the mark. They take longer than they should to resolve issues."
"ArcSight's features that can be improved include anything related to its visualization capabilities and user friendliness."
"It needs more user analytics and aggregation user queries. And it's slow. When you query over ArcSight, it is very slow."
"You can use this solution for limited use cases. But for more advanced use cases, there are other solutions which are better than ArcSight."
"Currently, there are no compatible connectors for this solution, which means we have to depend on FlexConnectors."
"The frequency of the updates that we are getting can be improved because the number and types of incidents that are happening at the global level are far more than what we are receiving. The frequency of updates feeds related to our rules should be increased. There should be more frequent information about the new rules that are coming and the global threats that are happening. There should be better options for dashboard creation. At present, the dashboards are good, but there is scope to make them better."
"The dashboard is not user-friendly and is in black and white."
"ArcSight Intelligence is a bit slower, and its speed should be improved."
"We haven't found the product fully scalable."
"ArcSight Intelligence's pricing needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ArcSight Analytics is a bit expensive compared with other tools in terms of licensing costs, training, hardware implementation, and support."
"This solution is expensive."
"The monthly licensing fee is around $20,000. There aren't any costs in addition to the standard licensing fee."
"It can range between $30,000 and $40,000 USD, and can go up to $500,000 and $600,000 USD."
"In addition to the costs of standard licensing fees, there is the cost of labor for maintenance."
"My customers pay a yearly licensing fee for ArcSight Analytics."
"They offer perpetual licenses for the product."
"ArcSight Intelligence is an expensive solution."
"Its price is average and not very high. Splunk might be a bit cheaper than this. Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"The solution is expensive and only suitable for enterprise environments."
"It is an expensive platform."

Cybereason vs. Interset vs. SQRRL
Capture DB - they all use NoSQL db and hence solve the ad hoc query and 'go back in time' problem with current best of breed SIEM and DLP solutions that rely on real time analysis of incoming logs (and don't store them). This means deeper and quicker iterative threat analysis and assessment…
