Good filtering and reporting tools but can be difficult to use
It can scale as needed. It's not a problem. There are different teams using it. We have CSOC, which is internal, which is onshore, then we have a security operations center that is offshore, which would be in India. The onshore team might be a group of three, and the offshore might be a group of five. Likely, we have eight to ten people in total using the product directly.

Security Specialist - UEBA SIEM Admin at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Smooth and fast search capabilities with customizable dashboards enhance user experience
For improvement, I have requested three enhancement tickets, which are already lodged with the Gurucul support team. The first request is to add a visualization option in reports for charts or graphs. I have also requested new dashboard features. In the query box, there's a bug where taking an attribute at the end does not return data, but placing it elsewhere does. The support system could be more equipped.

"ArcSight Analytics has improved our system and network policy monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is the log monitoring."
"We have seen a measurable decrease in the mean time to detect and respond to threats."
"This product improves visibility, whereas prior to implementing this solution there is no visibility."
"Investigating an incident has become super easy and helpful."
"The most valuable features are that you get lots of connectors, which make it easy to log in to my ASM, and lots of prebuilt roles from the company."
"I appreciate the comprehensive categorization of devices based on their intended use, such as those for DNS."
"If you are genuinely looking for a UEBA solution, you should choose Gurucul confidently if your need is strictly UEBA."
"The most valuable feature of Gurucul is the ability to customize and it is on the Hadoop platform that has a lot of flexibility."

Cons

"The ArcSight Analytic is not so easy."
"You can use this solution for limited use cases. But for more advanced use cases, there are other solutions which are better than ArcSight."
"ArcSight is not a user-friendly solution and the interface needs to be improved."
"Network integration is very crucial, and you need to have the knowledge to get it done."
