"It can easily identify unusual behavior or access patterns that may pose a potential threat, while operating as a unified reporting system.""The analytics would have to be our most valuable feature.""On the Varonis side, technical support is phenomenal. Their ability to explain is very good, and they seem to be very knowledgeable. When I get an alert that doesn't quite make sense, they dive in there and kind of take me through it. That's very useful and very good. There are some false alerts, but it is better to have a false alert than no alert at all.""The telemetry to capture everything and the reports are very easy to configure without having a developer degree.""The 24/7 support is the most valuable feature. They have been able to answer support questions pretty quickly.""That alerting and reporting service is great."

Cons
"I would like to see integration with automation products, such as Phantom Automation.""ArcSight's features that can be improved include anything related to its visualization capabilities and user friendliness.""The reporting and the way it is worded needs to be improved in future releases. The dashboards are quite poorly designed.""It needs more user analytics and aggregation user queries. And it's slow. When you query over ArcSight, it is very slow.""[There is] complexity in maintaining it and managing it. It's not easy to use. It requires a lot of training.""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.""Network integration is very crucial, and you need to have the knowledge to get it done.""I faced stability issues with Windows Operating System. The installed connectors hang if they remain idle for a long period of time."

More ArcSight Analytics Cons →

"We have Microsoft Office 365. I just saw an article today which says that they're actually getting integrated with Microsoft Office 365, which would be a useful feature. For user-based reports, log on activity, and stuff like that, it doesn't seem to really be present like Log360. That could just be my inexperience with it. I've been dealing with it for only about two and a half months.""I'd like to see automatic updates for this solution. Currently, it's a manual process to update all the keywords""The GUI should be more functional. There should be a process for connecting through Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc.""For unstructured data monitoring, it's one of the top ones, if not the top one, due to its usability.""It is significantly complex.""I would like it to have cloud integration."
