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 functionalities of this particular server is absolutely phenomenal."
"In our country we are a little bit private in terms of solutions, so we are just starting to use the basic data capture. Now some users can start to use additional features that come with Micro Focus ArcSight like user behavior analytics for investigating."
"Our return on investment for implementing ArcSight Logger over the past 12 months has been positive."
"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."
"In terms of ArcSight Logger's most valuable feature, it is their scalability and flexible log collecting options."
"The log digestion features from threat intelligence platforms like Recorded Future or Talos are valuable."
"Some of the most valuable features I really appreciate are the performance, how quick the solution is, and how easy it is to create a query."
"ArcSight Logger is very stable and useful for customers."
"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."
"The console in older versions is not user-friendly."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex."
"The console in older versions is not user-friendly."
"The original Connector Appliance peaked its events-per-second limit much sooner than anticipated and required us to purchase another, and significantly larger, appliance."
"I would like to see better scheduling in the next release of this solution."
"The product's connectors should work better and the user manuals need an update."
"You have limited reporting capabilities and I wouldn't choose ArcSight Logger for this purpose."
"Customer Service: On a scale of 1-5, 0. They say the right things but don't deliver when it counts."
"Definitely SIEM – other vendors have gone a lot further in developing SIEM functionality and made a lot more in this area."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a lifetime license, so we don't pay a monthly fee."
"I would rate the product a seven out of ten since it's an enterprise product."
"Pricing is reasonable compared to similar tools on the market. They offer perpetual licenses."
"The pricing is quite harsh."
"It's not cheap at all as it's a big product and has been in the market for quite some time now."
"ArcSight is an expensive solution."
"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."
"I rate the product’s pricing a seven out of ten, where one is inexpensive, and ten is expensive."
