We performed a comparison between ArcSight Logger and IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM) 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 is one of the best products available in the market."
"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."
"It's an efficient solution."
"Our return on investment for implementing ArcSight Logger over the past 12 months has been positive."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the search capability, which is simple to use."
"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."
"The most valuable feature as of late has been the API integration with ServiceNow."
"One of the most valuable features is the graphs, which you can build instantly. I have used some open-source platforms in the past, but they are not as good. With SevOne, the sampling in the graph can be every few seconds, not just every few minutes, and that's really helpful. It's really fast."
"Scalability. I have never had to worry about how to handle really big environments."
"We have benefited mainly from the use of the dashboard interface. It makes the network visually interesting for other people who are not in the network. A lot of people are not network techies who understand streams in the network. Based on location, we have streams coming in and out. They can see visually when there is some problem. They don't need to understand all the network technology behind it to be able to understand if everything is working well or if there is a problem."
"I like the tool’s scalability and real-time reports. Earlier, we struggled to give real-time reports to clients. I also like the tool’s deployment model where we can deploy it either on-premises or in-house. We don’t have to carry the data all over the globe. Also, I am impressed with the tool's flow reporting and Wi-Fi."
"It also gives us the closest thing to real-time insight into network performance that we have, with just a 10-second delay. It's very important for us to know the health of the infrastructure very quickly."
"The automation feature is good because if your CMDB is OK and it is already in sync, then the automation part is good to go."
"It's given us the ability to create various real-time network performance reports and distribute them to any colleague who can access these reports immediately."
"I had some latency issues for two months. I had to increase our storage capacity significantly to reduce the latency."
"The console in older versions is not user-friendly."
"The solution must provide readymade connectors for different applications."
"Using the ArcSight Logger dashboard is not particularly intuitive or efficient, so it is important to be trained in its use."
"The solution could be improved in maintenance settings."
"The next release should have AI capabilities."
"The solution should make it possible to integrate network analysis features."
"The product's connectors should work better and the user manuals need an update."
"The tool needs improvement in non-Cisco SD-WAN."
"There are some tweaks and enhancements that I've already requested. One is to be able to make changes per device rather than as a global setting. That has to do with naming. It's minor."
"When I started using it, I tried adding one of the BroadWorks application servers into SevOne... it created thousands and thousands of objects from that one application server and we immediately ran out of license... It would help, when new objects are discovered, if there were a way to categorize those objects and to pick the part of the object you need..."
"Software upgrades can be tricky is not easy."
"I would like to see live maps as an added feature. Also, build modules on AI and EML to provide better data insights that would proactively tell us what we should be looking after."
"There is no service mode setup in this monitoring tool if you want to snooze alerts for any specific amount of time, to account for any activity change or major incident."
"The reports are easy to configure but they are a bit outdated in terms of appearance and visualization."
"The reporting of NMS is good, but it could be better."
