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.

Unified log analysis has strengthened incident detection and supports continuous attack simulation
I do not have any areas for improvement in ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) as I have not delved deeply into it; overall, it is a good package. I would like to see the detection and response features included in the next release of ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM), as security orchestration and automation are increasingly important.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"For the typical malware or intrusion, this solution assists us by identifying the symptoms based on network traffic from the application servers."
"Allowing for non conventional data feeds from HR into our overall security monitoring practice has allowed us to catch gaps in our exit checklist for employees among other things."
"The reports that we are from getting from ArcSight are very valuable, the reporting in ArcSight is good, our regulators ask us for the reports on a regular basis, and we have been able to provide the required data."
"ArcSight helps to track all configuration changes and correlates with corresponding service tickets, helping a lot in auditing system and network admins with minimal time and cost."
"ESM has valuable features for event prediction and security analysis."
"It has absolutely improved the efficiency of our security team. We use it internally as well. It is such a powerful tool that our internal security team became a customer of our ArcSight managed service."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"When WannaCry attacks I can minimize the damage. My company had no protection at the time. We get alerts in ArcSight and then whenever a user got a copy of WannaCry and the WannaCry malware wants to connect to the mother ship, it alerts me in the ArcSight dashboard, and that helps us a lot. We then just go to the user and erase the malware."
 

Cons

"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."
"The interface—the console looks pretty old right now, so could benefit from a more modern design."
"Initial deployment of ArcSight is pretty challenging. It takes at least 3-4 months to install, integrate, define content and fine tune before starting the security operation."
"It would be nice if the interface were more user-friendly, with, for example, a minimal number of tabs to navigate."
"The web console should have all the features of the standard console."
"The centralized dashboard for the hybrid cloud environment needs to be more focused. It needs to be redefined because it's missing most of the information. It should be a little bit easy to use. Currently, integration with various applications and connectors is not that easy. Deployment is easy, but integration is not that easy. ArcSight also has a very high bandwidth consumption to pull the local servers. It should have some kind of better process or ability to transfer files from on-premises to the cloud, from the cloud to on-premises, and from a cloud to another cloud."
"I must say that tech support is getting worse and worse every year."
"As of now, if we are evaluating our own scenario, we are not even thinking about it."
"The product should include a lot more predefined scenarios so the adopted company will have knowledge and a broader skill set in security and network."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's a good price, it's one of the cheaper solutions."
"The licensing cost is affordable if you get an enterprise license. The licensing is based on EPS, so you can probably provide a package of license for multiple ESMs with their correlational end fees. It is cost-effective."
"The pricing model is expensive compared to open-source alternatives."
"Customers without a ton of resources to dedicate to deployment may be better served by a managed ArcSight service."
"The product licenses are inexpensive."
"Thanks to Micro Focus's licensing model, as an MSSP, we are able to see a complete return on our investment almost immediately."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"ArcSight can be a little bit expensive because of the area that we work in and the cost. Licensing is mostly on a yearly basis, not monthly."
