Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's a brilliant log collection tool, and it can handle hundreds of thousands of servers in a single shot to ingest the data.""It provides in-depth information on business activities once we log into the system.""ArcSight provides the basic information that we want.""We have a trigger. So, Logger automatically blocks these IP addresses. We could have Logger put them on a blacklist.""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.""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.""The technical support team is good...It is a scalable solution."

"One of the most valuable features is the dashboard because the UI was effective and easy to use. The alert systems are good as well. We had no failovers and had high availability. We can search the queries fast as well in Nagios Log Server.""A great feature of the solution involves its internal portal.""The product is scalable.""It provides an easy way to identify errors and spot issues, making troubleshooting more efficient.""The initial setup of Nagios Log Server was easy and straightforward."

Cons
"The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost.""The solution must provide readymade connectors for different applications.""ArcSight has been sold two or three times, and the quality has decreased.""The next release should have AI capabilities.""The solution could be improved in maintenance settings.""The product's connectors should work better and the user manuals need an update.""The solution should make it possible to integrate network analysis features.""Using the ArcSight Logger dashboard is not particularly intuitive or efficient, so it is important to be trained in its use."

More ArcSight Logger Cons →

"As we are talking about a product which is open to the public, the pricing makes it challenging for us to profit off of its marketing.""The customization and dashboards have shortcomings and need to be improved to make the tool look more presentable.""The support could be better.""The configurations during initial setup could be improved. If they could be agentless, as in the case of the Ansible product, it would be better. I would like to be able to analyze the network bandwidth.""It would be beneficial for Nagios to incorporate a tool that goes beyond log management and includes features to monitor overall system health and assess the effectiveness of antivirus solutions."
