Excels at performing regression and correlation on the data

ArcSight is a legacy technology, and many customers want AI-powered technologies integrated with it. That hasn't been done yet, but ArcSight needs to catch up with the newer solutions and technologies available in the market. It can't just rely on the legacy technology from 2010 or 2012. You can't run that in 2024. It's a legacy technology with its own limitations. Customers often face issues that other software or newer solutions can resolve easily. That's the main challenge we face from customers right now. So, the only concerns are that AI needs to be integrated and scalability improved. Those are the main areas to be improved.

Customization options need improvement but valuable threat management features and reasonable pricing benefit service providers

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is quite mature. It's been around for a long time."

"We utilize ArcSight ESM for real-time threat detection in our organization. We have custom rules that we've developed on top of the WAN services, along with scheduled licensing activities."

"This process has helped to improve our organization because we have centralized the intra-group security equipment logs."

"The stability of ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager is good."

"The most valuable feature is the correlation of different logs that are collected."

"We use ArcSight ESM for log analysis and security alerts. It warns us of threats and then helps us conduct a forensic investigation of a cyber attack or internal incident after it happens."

"ArcSight gives us better visibility into threats that were unknown earlier."

"The tool sends an automated mail to all the operators, which makes it easy to share the information and reporting."

More OpenText Enterprise Security Manager pros

"You can use different solutions in a single platform which is very easy and attractive for customers."

"I like that it's an AI-based platform. The most valuable feature is that it's a comprehensive solution. Most tools in the marketplace are comprised of miscellaneous items. They fail to provide real-time remediation features. However, with Seceon Open Threat Management Platform, anything you can think of in cybersecurity, like auto-remediation, real-time response, and even on-premise components, is available in a single platform. So, it's perfect for finance and healthcare who don't want to share their data with a third party like the cloud. You can have this on-premise as well. So, the expenditure will be lower as less human intervention is required."

"We only recently started using Seceon, so we aren't taking advantage of all its features yet. We have enabled some proactive alerts about utilization and bottlenecks from high traffic."

"It is effective because it has threat intelligence from across the world and constantly checks and updates for new threats."

"It offers a holistic approach with multiple solutions blended into one platform."

"The most valuable features are behaviour analytics, threat intelligence, endpoint detection, and response features."

"The main thing is the value proposition. It is one of the most sophisticated yet affordable solutions that I've come across. It is also one of the easiest-to-manage yet comprehensive solutions for a SOC analyst. Its customizations are really good, and it has a lot of integrations. It is multi-tenant and very fast to onboard. Its stability is 100%. We've never had an outage with it. It doesn't require extensive hardware resources. Its level of support is also very good. They have a very responsive technical team."

"The solution is stable."

Cons

"HPE ArcSight has a quite steep learning curve."

"What could be improved in ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) is its analytics feature. That feature should be more powerful and have more correlation in terms of AI/ML, though MicroFocus has done a good job in adding analytics to ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) which has become a big draw to customers. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is the addition of AI/ML features."

"The way that scaling is set up isn't very cost-effective."

"I would like for them to integrate mobile devices. Integration or any kind of functionality which will act as a substitute for IBM so that we can really track our mobile devices as well as look at SIEM."

"The only concern is that AI needs to be integrated"

"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."

"There are several improvements that we would like to see, including: Building a system based on a log collection (SOC), a scenario for external encroachment, and Operator training."

"We have pricing issues. ArcSight ESM may not be the most user-friendly option, and its interface is quite traditional. However, despite these aspects, we find it a good cybersecurity solution. It needs to improve the dashboards, documentation, and support as well."

More OpenText Enterprise Security Manager cons

"The management console could use some enhancements."

"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform sells some add-ons as part of the whole suite but not individually. If they sold them individually, they could potentially attract more business."

"It would be ideal with the processing was more manageable. Not many customers are willing to have a dedicated server with two CPUs and one TB of memory. The cost of this is huge for a smaller organization."

"It would be better if they offered global coverage."

"We are at the client’s end, offering services. They don’t know about security rules and benchmarks. We are working on the discovery and remediation but we don’t really have the intelligence that was available while working with other tools. Human working is also very essential for the solution. The automatic session is impossible to play since it needs to touch Redfin for further analysis. No one has breached our clients."

"Certain features, such as DLP, need to be improved as they are superficial and not in-depth."

"For small to medium-sized customers, Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is good. However, for large enterprises, it is not as effective."

"For future releases, integrating incident response tools and improving communication on incident reporting could be beneficial."

More Seceon Open Threat Management Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the solution is not very high, although hiring a qualified analyst to work with the product is expensive."

"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 is pretty expensive compared with its competitors. I believe that is fine as it provides value."

"The solution is super expensive. At our organization size and license model, I think the price is average to what anyone else would charge us."

"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."

"It is best to be an institutional buyer and directly contact the sales team, as they can provide over-the-top discounts for bulk orders."

More OpenText Enterprise Security Manager pricing and cost advice

"The solution is cheap and very competitive. It offers good tuning in terms of the pricing. Other solutions like Palo Alto and IBM are more expensive."

"I find Seceon OTM's pricing to be reasonable, not too high or low, just okay for the market standards. I can't disclose specific figures, we pay on a quarterly basis under a service model. I would rate it eight out of ten. As a customer, I always hope for better pricing options."

"The price is quite reasonable."

"We used the solution's trial version for two months and later purchased it."

"The pricing is very competitive. It's not expensive."

"It has a per-asset model instead of an ingestion-based model, which gives predictable pricing. In terms of price, it is in the middle to lower range of SIEMs that it competes against. It is the most affordable solution that we have implemented so far. It was much more affordable than anything else I've implemented."

"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is cost-effective because it's a comprehensive platform that offers high availability."
