"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 ESM use cases are the most valuable. It enables us to use the big data collection inside our company. We are able to create use cases for whatever it suits and I find that the most interesting part of any SIEM solution."
"The log digestion features from threat intelligence platforms like Recorded Future or Talos are valuable."
"In terms of ArcSight Logger's most valuable feature, it is their scalability. ArcSight's real advantage is its scalability because they have two layers, including the logger layer."
"In our country we are a little bit private in terms of solutions, so we are just starting to use the basic data capture. Now some users can start to use additional features that come with Micro Focus ArcSight like user behavior analytics for investigating."
"Regarding the tool's valuable features, I would say that Check Point is a very accessible and fast tool, especially when dealing with logs for the first time."
"The solution is ideal for use and deployment in a large infrastructure environment."
"It's a great solution for management. We can manage a lot at the same time with one security management system. Also, each gateway depends on the other, which is helpful."
"The company uses software called Harmony. Check Point integrates nicely, whether on an endpoint or mobile device. It integrates well with the firewall and can give me reports that I can check without going to an online portal."
"It has a central management log server that helps us to easily identify faults and issues in the environment, especially during outages and incidents during the implementation of policy rules."
"The additional features offered by the solution are excellent. We didn't have a lot fo these on a previous solution, and they've proven to be an advantage for us."
"It is good when it comes to access control, which is the basic feature that we use in a firewall appliance or solution. Check Point is effective when it comes to security control and threat prevention."
"The intuitive interface also allows new team members to adapt to the technology if they are not familiar with it initially. It doesn't take much for one to familiarize themselves with the product."
"I had some latency issues for two months. I had to increase our storage capacity significantly to reduce the latency."
"It is really difficult to work in ArcSight Logger, as it is very slow."
"The solution should make it possible to integrate network analysis features."
"The integration with other systems could be improved."
"I would rate the technical support only 5 out of 10. The technical support is not satisfactory."
"We have had problems with archiving."
"It's not a new product and is a bit complex. So, it requires a person dedicated to working on it and to know about it in and out. It is a huge product, and the search operation is a bit complicated for a new user or someone who has not used it for long. So for that person, it becomes a bit difficult."
"We find that the search and access functionality is quite slow."
"I would like it to be the administrator of equipment or Next Generation firewalls (which have to be managed on this platform) and to be able to manage other services (like Harmony) that also belong to Check Point."
"In order to work management console, you need some good appliance or you need to provide more CPU and Memory to the appliance."
"The tracking of new threats could be improved."
"In my experience, the place they can improve the most is in the technical support where I have had some serious problems that could not be solved in time due to a lack of knowledge of the assigned engineer."
"In the future, I would like the platform to be able to integrate or manage appliances or third-party equipment."
"It sometimes blocks safe sites when I am researching, affecting the overall output and wasting time."
"Policy installation time can be reduced."
"It would be helpful if the documentation and good practice guides are updated. Many are still from R77."
