Featured Reviews

Geraldo Freitas - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhances our security incident investigation but not good for correlation
Investigation is good when you know what you want to search for in Logger. The most difficult part is parsing the logs and configuring the parsers. For investigation, it's good. For correlation, it's not good. We use Sentinel, and Sentinel has pre-built use cases that are much easier to configure. So, it enhances our security incident investigation. We have inbound integration, but configuring the parsers is sometimes very difficult. We only have two use cases where we have a correlation set up. We send the information to Check Point to block IP addresses when we see a lot of blocks from the same source. We have a trigger. So, Logger automatically blocks these IP addresses. We could have Logger put them on a blacklist. So, it offers the ease of integration.

Protection improves through superior global visibility and robust cloud integration
CrowdStrike Observability is especially useful when using a multi-cloud environment. Although it is expensive, the protection level it provides justifies the price. For users on Google Cloud, I prefer using Google's GTI technology. Overall, I would rate CrowdStrike Observability as nine out of ten. I rate the overall solution as nine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The machine learning is a good feature."
"The solution provides information about the risk factors."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the search capability, which is simple to use."
"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."
"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."
"It's a robust, mature product and you can do some really complex operations and analytics."
"The log digestion features from threat intelligence platforms like Recorded Future or Talos are valuable."
More ArcSight Logger pros
"The log aggregation and correlation of data are notable features that enhance our operations."
"The intelligence database provided by CrowdStrike is very impressive."
"The price is worth it."
"The intelligence database provided by CrowdStrike is very impressive."
"I find the most effective feature of CrowdStrike Observability to be its cloud vision and attack surface vision, which enhance network traffic analysis."
 

Cons

"The solution should make it possible to integrate network analysis features."
"The solution could be improved in maintenance settings."
"We find that the search and access functionality is quite slow."
"We have had problems with archiving."
"Using the ArcSight Logger dashboard is not particularly intuitive or efficient, so it is important to be trained in its use."
"I would rate the technical support only 5 out of 10. The technical support is not satisfactory."
"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."
"ArcSight has been sold two or three times, and the quality has decreased."
More ArcSight Logger cons
"Integration with Huawei should be more straightforward."
"For reporting or log management, having a longer duration for backup without needing to purchase a paid subscription would be beneficial."
"The customer service is not satisfactory for me. The support is only available in English, and my users in LATAM regions such as Peru and Colombia require local language support, which is not currently provided."
"Integration with Huawei should be more straightforward."
"For reporting or log management, having a longer duration for backup without needing to purchase a paid subscription would be beneficial. Currently, there is a default ninety-day backup period."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not cheap at all as it's a big product and has been in the market for quite some time now."
"Pricing is reasonable compared to similar tools on the market. They offer perpetual licenses."
"The pricing is quite harsh."
"We have a lifetime license, so we don't pay a monthly fee."
"I rate the product’s pricing a seven out of ten, where one is inexpensive, and ten is expensive."
"ArcSight Logger is very expensive compared to their competitors, but when we talk to the customer and explain what the features are and how we can scale, they understand. Still, ArcSight is more expensive than the competition."
"ArcSight is an expensive solution."
"I would rate the product a seven out of ten since it's an enterprise product."
