Development from open sources is very valuable but a huge infrastructure is required
The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used. The search configuration is a bit different than other OEMs or SIEM solutions like ArcSight or QRadar that are easy to search because they operate similarly. The logic is there and the solution supplies a pretty good explanation. Basically, DNIF spelled out is the opposite of FIND. You have to find commands whenever you want to search something. For example, a highway gets you to your destination but there is an alternate way people don't yet know about. Gartner or Forrester haven't yet studied it. We were a bit nervous when we were trying to get familiar with the solution. We wondered if we could realize ROI because the commands and ways of pulling data were different to us. We raised a case with the support team and their professionals provided the needed support. The command line is user friendly once you understand it. If you need immediate use, then you might want to get assistance from someone who is well-versed in methods for using key patterns to find things. Lengthier files for threat hunting or analysis are needed. The correlation happens, but exporting a large number of files to abstract them is not possible. For example, I want to present raw data to management so I should be able to customize a date range in my query and download the files.

I do not have any areas for improvement in ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) as I have not delved deeply into it; overall, it is a good package. I would like to see the detection and response features included in the next release of ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM), as security orchestration and automation are increasingly important.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Great for scaling productivity for log monitoring purposes."
"The User Behavior Analytics is a built-in threat-hunting feature. It detects and reports on any kind of malware or ransomware that enters the network."
"The response time on queries is super-fast."
"The solution is quite stable and offers good performance, it also works on a virtual machine and we haven't found any issues with it so far, it's been reliable."
"If you're an enterprise company and want to scale your productivity for log monitoring purposes, I found DNIF a better option than Splunk which has more complex software."
"It was one of the first SIEM tools I saw that had that particular MITRE table."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the number of EPS it can handle."
"DNIF is much faster, much more responsive, and far superior when compared to competitive tools."
"We help our customers do more than 'check a box' for security and compliance and we are very proud of that."
"It's a good price, it's one of the cheaper solutions."
"ArcSight functions to integrate all network and security logs, and it's very easy to use so real-time monitoring has become easy by implementing active channels with all correlated alerts."
"It is easy to use when we created some dashboards for analytics."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation of different logs that are collected."
"The most valuable feature of ArcSight ESM is its ease of use."
"The most valuable feature for us is its ability to correlate security events and then allowing us to take action to address those events."
"When WannaCry attacks I can minimize the damage. My company had no protection at the time. We get alerts in ArcSight and then whenever a user got a copy of WannaCry and the WannaCry malware wants to connect to the mother ship, it alerts me in the ArcSight dashboard, and that helps us a lot. We then just go to the user and erase the malware."
 

Cons

"There are currently some issues with machine learning plug-ins."
"The solution should be able to connect to endpoints, such as desktops and laptops... If this solution had a smart connector to these logs- Windows, Linux, or any other logs - without affecting the performance of the connector, that would be wonderful."
"The solution should be able to connect to endpoints, such as desktops and laptops."
"The EBA could be improved."
"The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used."
"We have some issues with machine learning plug-ins and I believe they're working on a solution for that."
"I feel that DNIF needs to invest more in marketing, considering that it operates at a very competitive speed."
"The vendor is fairly new and it's not as big as some of the international competitors. It's not a mature product. If you ask them to move data, it might take a lot of time."
"The solution could be more stable."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud so that you can deploy it easily, saving time and resources."
"ArcSight ESM's UI is a little cumbersome and complex, especially for first-time and occasional users using the console manager."
"The interface—the console looks pretty old right now, so could benefit from a more modern design."
"It needs additional and better user customization for SmartConnectors."
"The roadmap is not clear."
"As of now, if we are evaluating our own scenario, we are not even thinking about it."
"The solution itself is very scalable, but it is also a lot more expensive than other players."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, the product is quite economical. I rate the solution's price as three or four on a scale of one to ten, where one is considered to be a very economically priced tool."
"The solution requires a huge infrastructure and that is costly."
"The pricing is based on the log size."
"We're paying a fee for an MSSP, and the cost of the total cost of ArcSight ESM was approximately three to four million dollars a year. The price was less than similar solutions. We did not have additional fees."
"Aggregation can help a lot in pushing down licensing costs."
"The solution is super expensive. At our organization size and license model, I think the price is average to what anyone else would charge us."
"It's a good price, it's one of the cheaper solutions."
"We have a license to use this solution. The price of ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager is expensive."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"ArcSight ESM is an affordable solution, it cost approximately $200,000 for three years. This price was at a substantial discount."
"​It is best to be an institutional buyer and directly contact the sales team, as they can provide over-the-top discounts for bulk orders.​"
