It has improved our system and network policy monitoring
They should improve on the following: * Timely resolution of issues and proper support once a ticket has been generated. * Systems appearing on the network which are not part of the domain controller. These should be monitored. * Inactive connections from servers, which are upgraded or downgraded within a VM, should be automatically revoked. * Logger monitoring should be separated from ESM monitoring. * Ability to integrate with cloud-based applications and monitor cloud-based events. * Ability to log and notify tailored rules via SMS/email. * Provide more ArcSight training and workshops.
Tor Nordhagen - PeerSpot reviewer
Transparent mode for privileged sessions will greatly simplify our client's administrative situation
We're introducing the solution's transparent mode for privileged sessions. This is part of what the client hasn't used before. It will simplify their administrative situation greatly. So far, the rollout of this feature has been a seamless process, but we're still in the midst of rolling it out. The benefits will be on the risk side. Right now, the way accounts are managed, you don't necessarily know who is using an account. There's a shared admin account, and that's not a good thing. And those accounts are shared in wallets by several people. One of the real benefits of safeguarding here is that the client will have an absolute audit of who is using an administrative interface, whether it's server or network.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The data collection and the integration with different products are valuable features."
"The correlation engine is good."
"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."
"ArcSight Analytics has improved our system and network policy monitoring."
"The ability to correlate different logs is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The two most valuable features of this solution are its stability and scalability."
"One of the most valuable features is the alerts."
"There are numerous valuable data protection features, including the content and information that offer us more scalable protection as needed."
"Being able to use a proxy server is an advantage."
"The technical support is tremendous."
"We use the solution’s “transparent mode” feature for privileged sessions. It is very easy because it is only a simple configuration for our users. We don't have to modify our network. We install it, configure it, and it works. So, it is super easy. The rollout for our users is seamless."
"It's one of the best products we've seen. When you start looking at the functionality and use cases and usability of the product, it's straightforward. They designed this product with the end-user in mind, and they also had the sysadmin who is supporting the product in mind. They really did a nice job. Overall, it's a nice product to work with."
"It is easy to manage. There is a very logical, clear user interface. Also, the integration of scripts is thoughtfully implemented. Overall, it's a nice product to manage."
"The extensible framework for authentication is one of the most valuable features. We use an MFA plug-in and a lot of different factors, depending on what the business use-cases are. And of course, the auditing functionality is also valuable."
"I have found the most useful feature of One Identity Safeguard to be Privileged Sessions."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like to see integration with automation products, such as Phantom Automation."
"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."
"Network integration is very crucial, and you need to have the knowledge to get it done."
"The reporting and the way it is worded needs to be improved in future releases. The dashboards are quite poorly designed."
"ArcSight is not a user-friendly solution and the interface needs to be improved."
"The GUI interface is not always intuitive and easy for non-technical users to work with."
"I rate customer support six out of ten. It needs improvement as it can significantly impact customer access."
"From a usability perspective, what we are finding out is that our privileged domain admin users, in particular, want functionality for extending a checkout session. So we are working with One Identity support to see if there's an enhancement that can be made to the product."
"Cost-wise, it is a little bit expensive, which makes it difficult to get management approval. Its price should be reduced."
"On a scale of one to ten, the stability is an eight."
"There is room for improvement in the launch module. They built in a launch button but they don't have effective instructions for configuring it to allow it to launch an RDP session. They're working on that, but the button is in the live product. If they were going to install something that wasn't useful, they should have just disabled it and not rolled it out with the product."
"The main thing that needs improvement is the slowness. Apart from that, the change password check-in feature also needs improvement because it is not working perfectly accurately."
"The high availability function of the box requires a long time to switch over from one appliance to another."
"We would like to have the option of importing assets by using the CSV file. It was available in the earlier versions, but it is not available now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In addition to the costs of standard licensing fees, there is the cost of labor for maintenance."
"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."
"ArcSight Analytics is a bit expensive compared with other tools in terms of licensing costs, training, hardware implementation, and support."
"This solution is expensive."
"It can range between $30,000 and $40,000 USD, and can go up to $500,000 and $600,000 USD."
"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
"The license is very expensive for us, partly due to inflation and partly because of the exchange rate between the Dollar and the Iranian Rial. We purchased a perpetual license that we've been using up until now, but I believe that we are not going to update it in the future. Instead, we plan to find another third-party to support us with the license, in the sense that we would have access to their license as a shared agreement."
"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."
"The pricing depends on our perspective, our budget, and, of course, the competitors we are taking into account."
"The full license is expensive but if you plan to use it in a big organization then it is the best option because it is more flexible."
"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."
"One Identity Safeguard is expensive and the cost goes up as we scale."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
