Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Our return on investment for implementing ArcSight Logger over the past 12 months has been positive.""It's an efficient solution.""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.""We check a lot of logs in ArcSight Logger because we're running a massive database platform.""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.""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 solution provides information about the risk factors."

Cons
"The initial setup was a little bit complex.""I had some latency issues for two months. I had to increase our storage capacity significantly to reduce the latency.""The next release should have AI capabilities.""I would rate the technical support only 5 out of 10. The technical support is not satisfactory.""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 console in older versions is not user-friendly.""It would be better if the product is cheaper.""The product's connectors should work better and the user manuals need an update."

"Users will initially find it difficult to identify the event types and installation in Snare.""Snare should modernize its GUI a little bit.""The solution is now developing a SIEM-like feature on Snare Central Server, but it's not complete yet."

    Overview
    HPE ArcSight Data Platform (ADP) offers a future-ready data solution that enriches data in real time and supports open standards for better threat detection. Using security data connectors, ADP collects data and enriches it in real-time to give analysts organized information that can be acted upon instantly.

    Snare customers consistently tell us that as the financial and reputational consequences of data breaches, cyber threats like malware and ransomware and the constant risks from insider threats increase that they have urgent and ongoing requirements for maintaining regulatory compliance, auditing and managing cyber threat detection and response. They also tell us that existing solutions like SIEM are often complex to implement and maintain, require specialised technical resources or are increasingly unaffordable or variable in their pricing. As a result of these increased requirements Prophecy International has created the Snare product suite.

    Compliance requirements can include any number of regulatory mandates including PCI-DSS, Sarbanes Oxley, HIPAA, NERC, GDPR and more. This makes Snare a high value solution for companies in the Government, Defence and Military sectors, Banking, Finance and Insurance, Retail, Health, Energy, Oil & Gas markets.

    From Enterprise Agents for Windows, Unix, Linux, OSX, Flat files and Databases to a complete forensics and long term log storage platform, agent management console, multipoint log reflector, advanced log analytics and next gen SIEM capability.
