"ArcSight's robustness is its most valuable feature.""The ability to customize the solution in great detail is its most valuable features. We can customize the use cases and also have the ability to do scripting. We can personalize our dashboard as well. The scalability the solution offers is quite impressive.""We haven't had any crashes or bugs. It is stable.""We check a lot of logs in ArcSight Logger because we're running a massive database platform.""I am impressed with the product's ability to pick up logs. It also has UEBA which has reduced the time to take charge of the events.""The solution provides information about the risk factors.""The most valuable feature is the search capability, which is simple to use.""The log digestion features from threat intelligence platforms like Recorded Future or Talos are valuable."

"The most valuable feature is threat intelligence.""The main menu: You can see everything there, what is happening on the servers, and in the logs, you can view more details of each event.""The IDS and the threat intelligence are very useful. They are very intuitive and data-rich.""The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of deployment that it provides to users. The integrations that the product has with third-party applications are useful.""The solution is stable.""There are multiple tools for information security. The solution includes all the latest advances on the network and host intrusion detection systems.""Asset discovery seems to be good.""The vulnerability scanning is helpful to identify the areas that need patching or fixes installed."

Cons
"The speed of Logger indexing and searching for certain bugs for some queries that we provide could be improved. It can handle a huge number of logs but it can be improved.""You have limited reporting capabilities and I wouldn't choose ArcSight Logger for this purpose.""The next release should have AI capabilities.""The initial setup was a little bit complex.""The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost.""The console in older versions is not user-friendly.""The solution must provide readymade connectors for different applications.""The integration with other systems could be improved."

"I've been told that AlienVault doesn't have a full version of NES running in there, but I'm not sure if that's accurate or if my engineer made it that way. I'm not sure he was completely honest either because we had NES in the environment before. Those tools could be improved because AlienVault is a SIEM, and it added all these other features.""Different functions to customize reports should be added.""We would like more plugins. This being the main point of improvement which would benefit the users.""As this software is in the cloud, you do not have control on updates and general changes which are happening.""I'd like to see a dashboard that's a little more descriptive.""This solution could be easier to use.""One area that has room for improvement is storage. AllienVault is a good place to put logs, but sometimes it's a tough place to go get logs... The logger can only hold so much data. If they improved that, that would help.""The reporting tools are a bit lacking for building reports to give directly to customers, but support has been helpful in giving our requests for new features to the development team and following up with us."
