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."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 haven't had any crashes or bugs. It is stable."
"It's an efficient solution."
"We have a trigger. So, Logger automatically blocks these IP addresses. We could have Logger put them on a blacklist."
"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 provides the basic information that we want."
"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."
"The machine learning is a good feature."
"Pandora FMS provides us with a general report (graphical) about all of the connected devices, which helps with planning new stations and tracking them."
"The monitoring system within this solution is very good. It is easy to use and navigate, and makes issue alarms easily viewable."
"This solution has screens that are easy to understand and provide a wealth of information."
"Pandora's architecture is interesting. It's open so you can easily extend and enhance it. It's simpler to customize Pandora compared to other solutions. It's also scalable enough to support large environments."
"The official forum is active enough to answer most of the high-end technical questions that you may have."
"Features I have found most valuable with Pandora are the personalized metrics and the simplicity of data."
"The administration of the console is very easy. I like that Pandora FMS is interactive and easy to manage."
"The most valuable features are auto-discovery and automatic detection of the network topology and network monitoring."
"I think the ArcSight team should try to simplify legacy products for the customers, because that product is not easy to use or to work with. It needs more more competency or appeal to use. We hope Micro Focus is trying to resolve this."
"I had some latency issues for two months. I had to increase our storage capacity significantly to reduce the latency."
"The product's connectors should work better and the user manuals need an update."
"The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost."
"The solution could be improved in maintenance settings."
"ArcSight has been sold two or three times, and the quality has decreased."
"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 solution should make it possible to integrate network analysis features."
"The price for Pandora FMS is expensive."
"A nice feature in the next release would be an automation module to run workflow actions."
"Pandora could deliver better analytics out of the box. You can work around these limitations with the help of other tools like Grafana. The shortcomings are mostly on the graphical side. The built-in report generators are a bit limited in some areas."
"It would be helpful to include the generation of reports for times that the network was out of service."
"It would be useful if Pandora FMS included an ISO image (or «software appliance») for each big company that leases virtual private machines (VPS), just like in AWS."
"Third-party integration should be improved for some commonly used products."
"This solution requires proper training to get 100% out of it."
"I would like for the solution to be faster and have a better tolerance between parallel servers for Pandora and Pest Control."
