Nagendra Nekkala - PeerSpot reviewer
A user-friendly solution that can be used to integrate the logs properly with different connectors
ArcSight Intelligence is easy to maintain; one person is enough for the solution's maintenance. The maintenance person will add new features or devices, make policy changes or configurations, and learn and guide other engineers about new threats. ArcSight Intelligence is a user-friendly solution, and users should buy it if their company can afford its cost. Overall, I rate ArcSight Intelligence a nine 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

"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 most valuable feature of ArcSight Intelligence is a single console where the entire dashboard gives all the connected details in a single place."
"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."
"The product has a valuable interface."
"The CMDB and the device discovery features are most valuable."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM's most valuable feature is the simplicity in handling multi-tenancy and the ability to switch between different clients at the same time. That was handled flawlessly."
"Some of our customers who use this solution have seen improvement in their connection with load balancing on both connections."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM is highly scalable. I would rate its scalability nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard. CMDB database collects data from a lot of pre-configured devices."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSIEM is the correlation of many events."
"It gives us the opportunity to generate notifications based upon rules that get triggered, and the rules could be specific to PCI, HIPAA, GIBA, NIST, and so forth."
"Fortinet FortiSIEM has its own validated and authentic IP database that marks malicious IP attacks against the firewall and generates an alert for the same."
More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"ArcSight Intelligence is a bit slower, and its speed should be improved."
"Its training can be improved. Its price also needs to be improved."
"The only drawback is the licensing model. It can get expensive if you want to integrate more solutions."
"The policy editing should be easier. Right now, it's too hard."
"The solution's technical support didn't help our company a lot."
"When our team tried configuring logs for Microsoft SQL, it did not work."
"There is no proper guide for integration or configuration."
"When an alert triggers in Fortinet FortiSIEM, the layout or format can feel limited"
"They should enhance the solution's AI capabilities, including XDR and EDR."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive and only suitable for enterprise environments."
"They offer perpetual licenses for the product."
"ArcSight Intelligence is an expensive solution."
"It is an expensive platform."

"We bought the perpetual license, so we own the product, but there is a three-year support renewal fee for that."
"We pay for a license for FortiSIEM. We pay for the license and renewal."
"The price of the solution is expensive. The license is scalable. If there are 10 devices it is simple to license."
"Pricing is acceptable for more than 90% of our customers, as they normally get discounts."
"Please be cheaper and more simplified."
"Fortinet's products are not expensive, it is less than the competition."

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…
