Compliance and cost-effectiveness have improved while critical infrastructure security adapts to evolving needs
ArcSight Logger fulfills compliance requirements and passes audit requirements. It is one of the Aramco standards requirements and is recommended by Aramco for any implementation. Aramco, SABIC, water companies, and electricity companies are critical infrastructure with air-gapped networks. In an air-gapped network, there is no communication going out from that network area to the outside world, even to the corporate network. ArcSight Logger is installed on minimal resources with minimal requirements. There are not many upgrades or new features that come up frequently, though they do occur occasionally.

I've evaluated Splunk and IBM Q1 but LogLogic is the best choice for log management. SIEM functionality needs improvement.
If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice. The SIEM functionality is not at that level, and I suggest instead to choose another SIEM solution (eg: IBM Q1). In my experience, a good practice is to separate log management from SIEM in a way that they are two separate systems.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most important thing is the scalability of the product and its ease of use."
"We have a trigger. So, Logger automatically blocks these IP addresses. We could have Logger put them on a blacklist."
"I am impressed with the product's ability to pick up logs. It also has UEBA which has reduced the time to take charge of the events."
"Data correlation, which unfortunately only comes with an ESM module, is the most valuable feature for us."
"The ESM use cases are the most valuable; it enables us to use the big data collection inside our company, and we are able to create use cases for whatever it suits and I find that the most interesting part of any SIEM solution."
"In terms of ArcSight Logger's most valuable feature, it is their scalability. ArcSight's real advantage is its scalability because they have two layers, including the logger layer."
"I would definitely say to go with this product as it's the best in the market, but before opting for this product your perform solution-sizing because otherwise you might end up digging your own grave in fixing it."
"The ability to customize the solution in great detail is its most valuable features. We can customize the use cases and also have the ability to do scripting. We can personalize our dashboard as well. The scalability the solution offers is quite impressive."
"Having logs in a central location helps with troubleshooting, forensic investigations, and legal investigations."
"If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice."
 

Cons

"We have had problems with archiving."
"Using the ArcSight Logger dashboard is not particularly intuitive or efficient, so it is important to be trained in its use."
"The only thing I did not particularly like about the product was its speed on the web interface."
"The original Connector Appliance peaked its events-per-second limit much sooner than anticipated and required us to purchase another, and significantly larger, appliance."
"Overall, it is a good system for what we use it for, but some licensing parts are really annoying."
"Clicking on a log source on the main page should not pull all stored logs as this is too slow and way excessive."
"The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost."
"The next release should have AI capabilities."
"Definitely SIEM – other vendors have gone a lot further in developing SIEM functionality and made a lot more in this area."
"Customer Service: On a scale of 1-5, 0. They say the right things but don't deliver when it counts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ArcSight is an expensive solution."
"It's not cheap at all as it's a big product and has been in the market for quite some time now."
"Pricing is reasonable compared to similar tools on the market. They offer perpetual licenses."
"I rate the product’s pricing a seven out of ten, where one is inexpensive, and ten is expensive."
"I would rate the product a seven out of ten since it's an enterprise product."
"The pricing is quite harsh."
"We have a lifetime license, so we don't pay a monthly fee."
"ArcSight Logger is very expensive compared to their competitors, but when we talk to the customer and explain what the features are and how we can scale, they understand. Still, ArcSight is more expensive than the competition."
