Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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.""ArcSight's robustness is its most valuable feature.""The machine learning is a good feature.""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 technical support team is good...It is a scalable solution.""Some of the most valuable features I really appreciate are the performance, how quick the solution is, and how easy it is to create a query."

Cons
"I would like to see better scheduling in the next release of this solution.""The solution should make it possible to integrate network analysis features.""I would rate the technical support only 5 out of 10. The technical support is not satisfactory.""The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost.""The solution must provide readymade connectors for different applications.""The product's connectors should work better and the user manuals need an update.""The console in older versions is not user-friendly.""It would be better if the product is cheaper."

More ArcSight Logger Cons →

"We sometimes have to run plugins on docker containers.""I would like to know if classes and methods selected in "Method Sensor Rules" were changed in the applications, and not depend on the developers to warn us.""It often produces "false alarms" and cannot identify failure patterns over days/weeks that do not indicate concern.""Our main problems have been that it has a high learning curve to it. I've used it for about three years now and I'm still learning it. There are some videos and there is some documentation out there, but it still requires you to delve into the tool to learn it. A little bit more comprehensive self-paced training would help.""It can be improved in narrowing the exact exception/ERROR in application monitoring.""I would like the ability to export a user session into csv format. (I am aware that I can export a user session via a webhook).""Regarding features, it would be good if there would be some features regarding app security.""Pretty much every month there are new features. However, its information on those new features is scarce."

    Dynatrace is the only solution that provides answers to organizations based on deep insight into each user, transaction, and organization's environment.

    Barry P., a managing performance engineer at Medica Health Plans, writes, "With Dynatrace, we have synthetic checks and real-user monitoring of all of our websites, places where members and providers can interact with us over the web. We monitor the response times of those with Dynatrace, and it's all integrated into one place."

    A consultant at a tech service company notes, "A feature that's one of the highlights of Dynatrace is the AI. The second most valuable feature is OneAgent. Between infrastructures, applications, operating systems, you can deploy with just a single agent and can practically install and forget about it."
