Compliance and cost-effectiveness have improved while critical infrastructure security adapts to evolving needs
ArcSight Logger fulfills compliance requirements and passes audit requirements. It is one of the Aramco standards requirements and is recommended by Aramco for any implementation. Aramco, SABIC, water companies, and electricity companies are critical infrastructure with air-gapped networks. In an air-gapped network, there is no communication going out from that network area to the outside world, even to the corporate network. ArcSight Logger is installed on minimal resources with minimal requirements. There are not many upgrades or new features that come up frequently, though they do occur occasionally.

Along with good reporting capabilities, the product offers ease of deployment and great scalability options
I rate the product's initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy. Everything is pre-provisioned in the solution, so not much effort is required to complete the initial setup phase. The solution is deployed on the public cloud. The deployment process of Quantum Smart-1 Cloud takes around five to ten minutes. For deployment, there is a need to create an account in Check Point Infinity Portal, after which you can activate Quantum Smart-1 Cloud module and start with the provisioning process, which is something that gets done automatically in a while.

"This is a solution that is straightforward and easy to use."
"I think where Logger shines is usability."
"We haven't had any crashes or bugs. It is stable."
"The ESM use cases are the most valuable; it enables us to use the big data collection inside our company, and we are able to create use cases for whatever it suits and I find that the most interesting part of any SIEM solution."
"The ability to customize the solution in great detail is its most valuable features. We can customize the use cases and also have the ability to do scripting. We can personalize our dashboard as well. The scalability the solution offers is quite impressive."

"The most valuable features of the solution are the reporting and the traffic view that the product provides its users."
 

Cons

"The only drawback is that without ESM, you are limited."
"The graphics and dashboard could be improved."
"You have limited reporting capabilities and I wouldn't choose ArcSight Logger for this purpose."
"Scaling this product is painful."
"Clicking on a log source on the main page should not pull all stored logs as this is too slow and way excessive."
"ArcSight Logger is an outdated product. It hasn't been changed in the last ten years."
"The initial setup was a bit complicated to follow since there are many different components present within it."
"It is really difficult to work in ArcSight Logger, as it is very slow."
"VPN configuration can get clunky sometimes."

"We have a lifetime license, so we don't pay a monthly fee."

"It's not cheap at all as it's a big product and has been in the market for quite some time now."
"I rate the product’s pricing a seven out of ten, where one is inexpensive, and ten is expensive."
