Interpreting data effectively despite challenges in integration and support

Allows for monitoring logs according to industry standards within ESM but has a total capacity capped at 12 TB, limiting real-time data retention periods

Pros

"I would rate the ease of use for new users an eight out of ten, with ten being easy to use. It is a good tool. "

Cons

"The first limitation is with the ArcSight Data Storage Manager (ADSM). ArcSight's total capacity is currently capped at 12 TB. This becomes an issue if a customer needs a longer real-time data retention period, such as exceeding 90 days or reaching a year or even ten months. Increasing the disk space beyond 12 TB is not currently possible."

Provides detection and alerting with competitive pricing

Pros

"Support is very good."

Cons

"It would be nice to have it on the cloud so that you can deploy it easily, saving time and resources."

Offers comprehensive integration with various log sources but lacks integration with various log sources

Pros

"It gives better overall visibility. Before, we didn't have a unified system for managing security alerts. ArcSight introduced various alerts, giving us a better visibility of potential problems."

Cons

"The correlation engine effectively connects different events, significantly improving our detection reach. However, limitations exist with non-default alerts, where additional costs arise for integration."

A rock solid, stable solution with a nearly bulletproof correlation engine

Pros

"Some of the benefits of using this solution are rapid correlation and near-time response on alerts."

Cons

"ArcSight is incredibly complex when configuring and deploying, and if your organization doesn't know what they want and what they need, ArcSight will be a challenge for them."

Has good integration with third-party products; its technical support team is very helpful

Pros

"What I found most valuable in ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) is its good integration with third-party products. The solution also has good core capabilities."

Cons

"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."

It provides us the flexibility to write our own passwords and customize the solution.

Pros

"ArcSight ESM provides us the flexibility to write our own passwords and customize the solution. It lets us search and log a variety of SmartConnectors. It has 480-plus SmartConnectors. "

Cons

"Sometimes, it takes ages to get an issue resolved. I have ArcSight experience, so I normally try to fix things on my own or find a workaround, but it's tough to get support when I need it. "
