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.
Nagendra Nekkala - PeerSpot reviewer
A user-friendly solution that can be used to integrate the logs properly with different connectors
ArcSight Intelligence is easy to maintain; one person is enough for the solution's maintenance. The maintenance person will add new features or devices, make policy changes or configurations, and learn and guide other engineers about new threats. ArcSight Intelligence is a user-friendly solution, and users should buy it if their company can afford its cost. Overall, I rate ArcSight Intelligence a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Less resource consumption in terms of memory and processing."
"The two most valuable features of this solution are its stability and scalability."
"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."
"The correlation engine is good."
"The most valuable feature is the log monitoring."
"Allows multiple integrations with multiple systems in a stable and flexible fashion."
"The data collection and the integration with different products are valuable features."
"ArcSight Analytics is used to get a deeper insight and threat analysis about the network."
"We found the correlation engine to be very good. It takes logs from different types of devices and does the correlation in a good way."
"The most valuable feature of ArcSight Intelligence is a single console where the entire dashboard gives all the connected details in a single place."
"The product has a valuable interface."
"The ability to tailor an environment to suit our specific use cases is a major advantage of ArcSight compared to other logging servers such as Splunk."
"The platform helps us improve threat detection capabilities."
 

Cons

"I faced stability issues with Windows Operating System. The installed connectors hang if they remain idle for a long period of time."
"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."
"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."
"ArcSight's features that can be improved include anything related to its visualization capabilities and user friendliness."
"[There is] complexity in maintaining it and managing it. It's not easy to use. It requires a lot of training."
"Currently, there are no compatible connectors for this solution, which means we have to depend on FlexConnectors."
"ArcSight Intelligence's pricing needs improvement."
"The dashboard is not user-friendly and is in black and white."
"We haven't found the product fully scalable."
"ArcSight Intelligence is a bit slower, and its speed should be improved."
"The frequency of the updates that we are getting can be improved because the number and types of incidents that are happening at the global level are far more than what we are receiving. The frequency of updates feeds related to our rules should be increased. There should be more frequent information about the new rules that are coming and the global threats that are happening. There should be better options for dashboard creation. At present, the dashboards are good, but there is scope to make them better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is expensive."
"ArcSight Analytics is a bit expensive compared with other tools in terms of licensing costs, training, hardware implementation, and support."
"My customers pay a yearly licensing fee for ArcSight Analytics."
"It can range between $30,000 and $40,000 USD, and can go up to $500,000 and $600,000 USD."
"The monthly licensing fee is around $20,000. There aren't any costs in addition to the standard licensing fee."
"In addition to the costs of standard licensing fees, there is the cost of labor for maintenance."
"They offer perpetual licenses for the product."
"It is an expensive platform."
"The solution is expensive and only suitable for enterprise environments."
"ArcSight Intelligence is an expensive solution."
"Its price is average and not very high. Splunk might be a bit cheaper than this. Its licensing is on a monthly basis."

Cybereason vs. Interset vs. SQRRL
Capture DB - they all use NoSQL db and hence solve the ad hoc query and 'go back in time' problem with current best of breed SIEM and DLP solutions that rely on real time analysis of incoming logs (and don't store them). This means deeper and quicker iterative threat analysis and assessment…
