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.

Cyber Security Leader at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
Good value, easy to use, and easy to deploy
In terms of what can be improved, that is a question I think the end users can tell you better. I'm not the end-user for this system. However, I can say that it needs to be more scalable. I think they already have a good value proposition in terms of being a hybrid model, and the reporting is okay, as well. It could have better integration with other SIEMs, but this integration has to come from the SIEM side, not ObserveIT.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The correlation engine is good."
"One of the most valuable features is the alerts."
"ArcSight Analytics is used to get a deeper insight and threat analysis about the network."
"The data collection and the integration with different products are valuable features."
"Less resource consumption in terms of memory and processing."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"The two most valuable features of this solution are its stability and scalability."
"This solution makes it easy to create use cases, and it is easy to move queries from use cases to the report to the dashboard."
"ObserveIT is small, easy to use, easy to deploy, and is not complicated, so it's more generally suited for only SMBs. It's a good value with a cheaper price."
 

Cons

"The reporting and the way it is worded needs to be improved in future releases. The dashboards are quite poorly designed."
"I would like to see orchestration."
"Network integration is very crucial, and you need to have the knowledge to get it done."
"Inactive connections from servers, which are upgraded or downgraded within a VM, should be automatically revoked."
"The customer service could be improved, and additional integrations with other APIs could be added."
"ArcSight's features that can be improved include anything related to its visualization capabilities and user friendliness."
"It needs more user analytics and aggregation user queries. And it's slow. When you query over ArcSight, it is very slow."
"There is a GUI, but it is not complete and lacks functionality that needs to be performed using the console."
"ObserveIT is not scalable and it's not for the medium to large corporations. It's for the smaller environments. For the larger corporations, we have other scalable solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It can range between $30,000 and $40,000 USD, and can go up to $500,000 and $600,000 USD."
"In addition to the costs of standard licensing fees, there is the cost of labor for maintenance."
"ArcSight Analytics is a bit expensive compared with other tools in terms of licensing costs, training, hardware implementation, and support."
"This solution is expensive."
"My customers pay a yearly licensing fee for ArcSight Analytics."
"The monthly licensing fee is around $20,000. There aren't any costs in addition to the standard licensing fee."
