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 search capability, which is simple to use."
"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."
"It is one of the best products available in the market."
"It's an efficient solution."
"In our country we are a little bit private in terms of solutions, so we are just starting to use the basic data capture. Now some users can start to use additional features that come with Micro Focus ArcSight like user behavior analytics for investigating."
"We check a lot of logs in ArcSight Logger because we're running a massive database platform."
"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."
"Any unusual behaviour, we can monitor. We have alerts set up to be sent when we receive signs of any unusual behaviour."
"Vulnerability scanning helped out shortcomings of what was not patched in the past and what needed to be patched. This assisted with fine tuning the environment for compliance."
"It allows for a lot of out-of-the-box features: vuln scanning, HIDS/HIPS, and IDS."
"What I find the most valuable about USM Anywhere is its compliance. It shows a list of all the administrators logged on and does it quite well. There are no whistles and bells, it's reliable and simple to use."
"The solution has all the features that we need, however they do not work correctly."
"Every activity on the firewall is recorded, and notifications are sent with this solution."
"The main menu: You can see everything there, what is happening on the servers, and in the logs, you can view more details of each event."
"There are multiple tools for information security. The solution includes all the latest advances on the network and host intrusion detection systems."
"We have had problems with archiving."
"The product's connectors should work better and the user manuals need an update."
"The integration with other systems could be improved."
"I would rate the technical support only 5 out of 10. The technical support is not satisfactory."
"The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost."
"The solution must provide readymade connectors for different applications."
"I would like to see better scheduling in the next release of this solution."
"You have limited reporting capabilities and I wouldn't choose ArcSight Logger for this purpose."
"One area that has room for improvement is storage. AllienVault is a good place to put logs, but sometimes it's a tough place to go get logs... The logger can only hold so much data. If they improved that, that would help."
"I've been using it just for my own personal upskilling in terms of how the product works. At the moment, it is pretty straightforward and simple, and it is working how it is supposed to. The feedback would come once it is deployed to customer sites. They'll be using it on a more frequent basis, and that's when the feedback would come in terms of the areas in which they're facing issues or are looking for simplicity."
"The one thing I continue to dislike about the USM is the limitation on reports."
"It was easy on PoC, but when we got to the product it was different story. We had to learn the product again and got feeling that the PoC was a different product."
"I think plugin management should be self-service on AlienVault USM. The other product is self-service but on the USM side. You have to submit a ticket then AT&T creates and updates the plugins."
"The dashboard could be improved as well as the level of customization."
"It would be nice to see some machine learning and monitoring of the configuration in network devices."
"The solution already has quite good tools, however, they need better integration tools for linking with Office 365, Google Suite, and so on."
