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

"The ability to correlate different logs is the solution's most valuable feature."
"We use this solution for monitoring our network."
"The data collection and the integration with different products are valuable features."
"This is a very stable solution. It is the most stable ESM that I have worked with."
"Allows multiple integrations with multiple systems in a stable and flexible fashion."
"This product improves visibility, whereas prior to implementing this solution there is no visibility."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"The correlation engine is good."
"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."
"The product has a valuable interface."
"The most valuable feature of ArcSight Intelligence is a single console where the entire dashboard gives all the connected details in a single place."
"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."
"We found the correlation engine to be very good. It takes logs from different types of devices and does the correlation in a good way."
"The platform helps us improve threat detection capabilities."
 

Cons

"The GUI interface is not always intuitive and easy for non-technical users to work with."
"The GUI and dashboards are very basic and need to be improved."
"You can use this solution for limited use cases. But for more advanced use cases, there are other solutions which are better than ArcSight."
"Their support team could be better. They've gone downhill since their product has been acquired."
"[There is] complexity in maintaining it and managing it. It's not easy to use. It requires a lot of training."
"Their support team could be better."
"Currently, there are no compatible connectors for this solution, which means we have to depend on FlexConnectors."
"I would like to see orchestration."
"ArcSight Intelligence is a bit slower, and its speed should be improved."
"ArcSight Intelligence's pricing needs improvement."
"The dashboard is not user-friendly and is in black and white."
"We haven't found the product fully scalable."
"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 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 monthly licensing fee is around $20,000. There aren't any costs in addition to the standard licensing fee."
"The solution is expensive and only suitable for enterprise environments."

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…
