Subhadip Pakrashi - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable solution that provides a deeper insight and threat analysis about the network
ArcSight Analytics is used to get a deeper insight and threat analysis about the network. The solution's threat analysis gives a good view of the network. We can then compare those vulnerabilities and CVS scores worldwide and get a good understanding of how likely the network is to be hit. The kind of report ArcSight Analytics gives is really good. ArcSight Analytics is a very scalable solution that is easy to deploy.
Julio Montero - PeerSpot reviewer
Access management system provides strong security and effortless user authentication
The solution can be deployed on cloud or on-premises. CyberArk is more on the cloud than on local hardware. The deployment is initially quite difficult. That said, when you are doing the implementation of CyberArk, there are so many tutorials that make the learning process very easy. The only complaint could be the language barrier. It's difficult if you don't have a very good level of English. Otherwise, it is very easy. You can have it set up within three months without much difficulty. It's hard to get started, however, once you get going, it gets easier. A full deployment takes half a year or less. There is some maintenance necessary. A company is constantly hiring and letting go of employees. The access is always changing, so access must always be adjusted. Or, if we need another law of filter, we would need to add those, or even take them away. That's another aspect of maintenance.

"The features that I personally find most effective in terms of security stem from the fact that it is easy to integrate and also the adoption is faster."
 

Cons

"There is a GUI, but it is not complete and lacks functionality that needs to be performed using the console."
"ArcSight's features that can be improved include anything related to its visualization capabilities and user friendliness."
"Inactive connections from servers, which are upgraded or downgraded within a VM, should be automatically revoked."
"Network integration is very crucial, and you need to have the knowledge to get it done."
"The interactive dashboard is complicated and you need to have training in order to use it, so I think that it could be made easier to use."
"It needs more user analytics and aggregation user queries. And it's slow. When you query over ArcSight, it is very slow."
"I faced stability issues with Windows Operating System. The installed connectors hang if they remain idle for a long period of time."
"The reporting and the way it is worded needs to be improved in future releases. The dashboards are quite poorly designed."
"CyberArk Identity's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"The solution could be easier to use and I found it to be very complex involving many steps."

"The tool has issues with the third-party SMS gateway. The solution has its own SMS gateway. Integration support is a challenge when we don’t use their SMS gateway. The tool also needs to improve its scalability."
