We performed a comparison between ArcSight Logger and Google Cloud's operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's an efficient solution."
"The machine learning is a good feature."
"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."
"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 brilliant log collection tool, and it can handle hundreds of thousands of servers in a single shot to ingest the data."
"The most valuable feature is the level of detail that you can see about certain events, even when they do not come up in the console."
"We check a lot of logs in ArcSight Logger because we're running a massive database platform."
"The most valuable feature is the search capability, which is simple to use."
"It's easy to use."
"Our company has a corporate account for Google Cloud and so our systems and clusters integrate really well."
"The most valuable feature is the multi-cloud integration, where there is support for both GCP and AWS."
"I like the monitoring feature."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its graphs - if I need any statistics, in Kubernetes or Kong level or VPN level, I can quickly get the reports."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"Provides visibility into the performance uptime."
"Google's technical support is very good."
More Google Cloud's operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) Pros →
"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."
"The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex."
"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."
"The product's connectors should work better and the user manuals need an update."
"I would rate the technical support only 5 out of 10. The technical support is not satisfactory."
"The console in older versions is not user-friendly."
"You have limited reporting capabilities and I wouldn't choose ArcSight Logger for this purpose."
"If I want to track any round-trip or breakdowns of my response times, I'm not able to get it. My request goes through various levels of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and comes back to my client machine. Suppose that my request has taken 10 seconds overall, so if I want to break it down, to see where the delay is happening within my architecture, I am not able to find that out using Stackdriver."
"The logging functionality could be better."
"While we are satisfied with the overall performance, in certain cases we must add additional metrics and additional tools like Grafana and Dynatrace."
"It is difficult to estimate in advance how much something is going to cost."
"The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."
"It could be even more automated."
"Lacking sufficient operations documentation."
"This solution could be improved if it offered the ability to analyze charts, such as a solution like Kibana."
