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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 solution provides information about the risk factors."
"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."
"We haven't had any crashes or bugs. It is stable."
"ArcSight provides the basic information that we want."
"It provides in-depth information on business activities once we log into the system."
More ArcSight Logger pros
"The solution could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox."
"The reports that you can run are really nice."
"The reporting is great. Everything you need is in the report for you already."
"We haven't had any stability issues."
"It basically helps us. We have to stay in compliance with certain issues with some of our customers. We have to have these types of tools in place for protecting our network and our data. We're in the aerospace industry, so we have a lot of defense contracts. So, all those guys will make sure that we're protecting their information, and it does a good job in that aspect."
"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."
"The Sharecon feature is the most valuable."
"The most valuable features for us are the application logs monitoring and the dashboard, which provides a single-pane view of all the ongoing activities."
More ManageEngine Log360 pros
 

Cons

"The solution must provide readymade connectors for different applications."
"The console in older versions is not user-friendly."
"We have had problems with archiving."
"The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost."
"In the next release, I want to see more intelligence."
"It would be better if the product is cheaper."
"It is really difficult to work in ArcSight Logger, as it is very slow."
"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."
More ArcSight Logger cons
"It's difficult to find which conditions have been applied to a report because they are provided by default by ManageEngine. However, with other SIEMs if you want to create a report, they provide details, like which conditions are triggering certain reports. This needs to be there in ManageEngine. It would be good to know which parameter has been applied to the report that is updating the system."
"On the logging system, there's a local on-client side that is encrypted, and there's one that is not encrypted. It is only for diagnostical purposes. However, both being encrypted would be very valuable for some audits."
"The matter of the data retention needs to be addressed."
"Most times log sheets are not assigned well."
"The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities."
"It takes a little bit of time for Log360 to actually learn your environment."
"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."
"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."
More ManageEngine Log360 cons

"The pricing is quite harsh."
"ArcSight is an expensive solution."
"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."
