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.

Has good filtering and rating features and helps with resource and load management

I've not used Stackify for a while, and I'm currently using a solution now that's not as good as Stackify. Among the solutions I've been using so far, Stackify has been one of the best for me, but there's always room for improvement. For example, I don't know if it's just me, but when I try to get the log from Stackify, sometimes it doesn't appear in real-time. It takes a few minutes before the logs appear. When I redeploy my solution and the application starts, I don't see the logs immediately, and it would take two to three minutes before I see the logs. I don't know if other customers have a similar experience. It's the wait time for the logs to appear that's a concern for me, could be improved, and is what the Stackify team should be looking into. In terms of any additional feature that I'd like added to the solution, I'm not sure if Stackify has a way to export logs out. I've been trying to do it. On the solution, you can click on a spiral-like icon and it shows you the entire error, and I'd prefer an export button that would let me download the error and save that into a text file, for example, so it'll be available on my local machine for me to reference it, especially because the log keeps going and as you're using the solution, the system keeps pushing messages on to Stackify, so if I'm looking at a particular error at 12:05 PM, for example, by the time I go back to my system and would like to revisit the error at 12:25 PM, on Stackify, the logs would have gone past that level and I won't see it again which makes it difficult. When you now go back to that timestamp, you don't tend to see it immediately, but if the solution had an export feature for me to save that particular error information on my local machine for reference at a later time, I won't have to go back to Stackify. I just go to that log, specifically to that particular export that I've received on my local machine. I can get it and review it, and it would be easier that way versus me going back to Stackify to find that particular error and request that particular information.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ArcSight provides the basic information that we want."

"We check a lot of logs in ArcSight Logger because we're running a massive database platform."

"Some of the most valuable features I really appreciate are the performance, how quick the solution is, and how easy it is to create a query."

"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."

"It's an efficient solution."

"Some of the most valuable features I really appreciate are the performance, how quick the solution is, and how easy it is to create a query."

"ArcSight Logger is very stable and useful for customers."

"ArcSight's robustness is its most valuable feature."

More ArcSight Logger pros

"My advice to anyone who wants to use Stackify is to go for it because my experience with it is good."

"The performance dashboard and the accurate level of details are beneficial."

"The deployment is very fast."

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"It is very simple and very easy to configure."

"The filter feature on Stackify is one of the features I found valuable. It's awesome. When I want to get the application logs, the solution gives me many filters. For example, if I want to get logs from my test environment, the option is there for me to select the environment from Stackify, and you can also select the particular application, and you'll see the information you need there. The filter feature alone and the fact that Stackify offers a lot of different filters is what I like the most about the solution because I've used other tools with the filter feature, but the filtering was very difficult, versus Stackify that has good filtering. On Stackify, you can filter the information by the last one hour, or the last four hours, and you can also select the date range and specify the timestamp, then the solution will give you the information based on the date range you specified. Another feature I found valuable on Stackify is its rating feature because it tells you how your application is faring. For example, a rating of A means excellent, while a rating of F means very bad, or that your application is not doing well at all. The ratings are from A to F. I also like that Stackify helps you in terms of load management because the solution gives you information on overutilized resources. These are the most valuable features of the solution."

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"Within few hours of install we've identify the source of issue we've been investigating for few days and couldn't pin point."

More Stackify pros

Cons

"The original Connector Appliance peaked its events-per-second limit much sooner than anticipated and required us to purchase another, and significantly larger, appliance."

"In the next release, I want to see more intelligence."

"The console in older versions is not user-friendly."

"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."

"I would like to see better scheduling in the next release of this solution."

"It is really difficult to work in ArcSight Logger, as it is very slow."

"The solution could be improved in maintenance settings."

"Another improvement would be the agent memory utilization, which led to our recent reevaluation."

"It's not easy to set up. It's hard especially for juniors to understand."

"It should be easily scalable and configurable in different instances."

"Better mobile support."

"I would like to be able to see metrics about individual running containers on the host machines."

"When I redeploy my solution and the application starts, I don't see the logs immediately, and it would take two to three minutes before I see the logs."

"I'm looking to see more performance tools, but heard that they are going to release some."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the product a seven out of ten since it's an enterprise product."

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

"The pricing is quite harsh."

"I rate the product’s pricing a seven out of ten, where one is inexpensive, and ten is expensive."

"ArcSight is an expensive solution."

"It's not cheap at all as it's a big product and has been in the market for quite some time now."

"Pricing is reasonable compared to similar tools on the market. They offer perpetual licenses."

"ArcSight Logger is very expensive compared to their competitors, but when we talk to the customer and explain what the features are and how we can scale, they understand. Still, ArcSight is more expensive than the competition."

"The price is variable. It depends on how much data we have received in that particular month. Usually, it goes up to $2,000, or, at times, $3,000 USD per month."
