Featured Reviews

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.
Subhayu Chakraborty - PeerSpot reviewer
Automatic reports streamline tasks and offers easy report gathering
The dashboard part could be improved. While using it, I noticed two options: Classic, which is adequate yet only in black and white, and another one that is more advanced or smart, though I forgot the exact term. I encountered several issues while trying to create solutions for this advanced version, which seem unrelated to query or data issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 data collection and the integration with different products are valuable features."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"Less resource consumption in terms of memory and processing."
"One of the most valuable features is the alerts."
"The most valuable feature is the log monitoring."
"Allows multiple integrations with multiple systems in a stable and flexible fashion."
"The most valuable feature is being able to take data and put it into other systems so that we could see the output, and to see where we need to apply our focus."
"This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled."
"It's easily scalable."
"The solution is definitely scalable."
"Splunk is highly valuable for query purposes."
"Splunk User Behavior Analytics is known for its advanced analytics and data correlation capabilities, which help in detecting patterns, anomalies, and security threats."
"The best features in Splunk User Behavior Analytics include anomaly detection, behavioral profiling, and risk scoring and prioritization functionality."
"Splunk User Behavior Analytics is a one hundred percent stable solution."
 

Cons

"It's a difficult product to navigate, it's complex."
"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."
"Their support team could be better."
"There is a GUI, but it is not complete and lacks functionality that needs to be performed using the console."
"Currently, there are no compatible connectors for this solution, which means we have to depend on FlexConnectors."
"The customer service could be improved, and additional integrations with other APIs could be added."
"Network integration is very crucial, and you need to have the knowledge to get it done."
"It needs more user analytics and aggregation user queries. And it's slow. When you query over ArcSight, it is very slow."
"The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need."
"The dashboard part could be improved. While using it, I noticed two options: Classic, which is adequate yet only in black and white, and another one that is more advanced or smart."
"They should work to add more built-in correlation searches and more use cases based on worldwide customer experiences. They need more ready-made use cases."
"Currently, a lot of network operations need improvement. We still need people to handle incidents. Our vision is to leverage status and convert it directly from the network devices. It would be ideal if we could take action using APIs and API code and remove manual processes."
"I would like to see an enhancement in the automation of creating the rules."
"A disadvantage is that it can lead to cost overrun if not properly factored or governed."
"The dashboard part could be improved."
"The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is expensive."
"My customers pay a yearly licensing fee for ArcSight Analytics."
"ArcSight Analytics is a bit expensive compared with other tools in terms of licensing costs, training, hardware implementation, and support."
"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."
"The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
"Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
"My biggest complaint is the way they do pricing... You can never know the pricing for next year. Every single time you adjust to something new, the price goes up. It's impossible to truly budget for it. It goes up constantly."
"I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
"There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
"I hope we can increase the free license to be more than 5 gig a day. This would help people who want to introduce a POC or a demo license for the solution."
