Interpreting data effectively despite challenges in integration and support
If someone lacks the budget for a new SIEM tool with advanced capabilities, I would recommend ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM). However, if they have the budget, I would suggest looking into other options. Overall, I would give ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) a rating of 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

"ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) works perfectly. It's a stable and scalable product."
"ArcSight is customizable. You can integrate just about anything. I also like the ease of use."
"The out-of-the-box rules that help us configure functioning rules within the environment are valuable."
"It is a robust product and has multiple valuable features."
"​It is a vital tool for live monitoring and helps us to understand the traffic alerts of any major issue on the network, thereby reducing hacking attempts."
"We have been satisfied with the support."
"I am satisfied with the solution's stability."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation of different logs that are collected."
"The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."
 

Cons

"The stability of ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) is not very robust."
"HPE ArcSight has a quite steep learning curve."
"ArcSight ESM is not easy to use and it should be integrated with other tools that have infrastructure capabilities."
"When I asked our networking juniors for a comparison between LogRhythm and ArcSight, they said that both platforms are almost the same. It is just that LogRhythm is more modern with a digital platform, which probably gives it some advantage over ArcSight. ArcSight is a very old and mature product that is running on an old platform. It is an old legacy platform. In terms of new features, it just requires platform upgrades so that it becomes lighter and easily adaptable, specifically in the cloud. It would be a good thing if they can also make reporting easier."
"ArcSight ESM could improve by adding more features and documentation. There needs to be more documentation."
"The API integration could be better, and I'd like to see more machine-learning capabilities in the future."
"ArcSight ESM is lacking cloud scalable technology."
"The onboarding process for this solution could be better. It also needs a better GUI."
"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product licenses are inexpensive."
"ArcSight ESM is an affordable solution, it cost approximately $200,000 for three years. This price was at a substantial discount."
"Customers without a ton of resources to dedicate to deployment may be better served by a managed ArcSight service."
"Aggregation can help a lot in pushing down licensing costs."
"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."
"We're paying a fee for an MSSP, and the cost of the total cost of ArcSight ESM was approximately three to four million dollars a year. The price was less than similar solutions. We did not have additional fees."
"The pricing model is expensive compared to open-source alternatives."
"We have a license to use this solution. The price of ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager is expensive."
"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
