"The solution provides information about the risk factors."
"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 ESM use cases are the most valuable. It enables us to use the big data collection inside our company. We are able to create use cases for whatever it suits and I find that the most interesting part of any SIEM 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."
"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."
"The root cause analysis feature is very valuable."
"The virtualization solution supports data center virtualization, network and security."
"The most valuable feature is server virtualization. It's been very useful."
"The solution's simplicity, flexibility, and extensibility are valuable features as we can integrate everything in vRealize."
"The events are notably more descriptive, aiding in security and event analysis. We've also integrated Sky Collector, providing valuable insights and solutions for troubleshooting."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The trace log is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very helpful in troubleshooting problems."
"It gives the customer a quick overview, so they don't have to dig. There's a clear dashboard with many sensors in a single space. He gets a helicopter view of his environment, but he can investigate further if there are serious issues. It's pretty 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. It needs more more competency or appeal to use. We hope Micro Focus is trying to resolve this."
"The solution could be improved in maintenance settings."
"We find that the search and access functionality is quite slow."
"The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex."
"The console in older versions is not user-friendly."
"The integration with other systems could be improved."
"You have limited reporting capabilities and I wouldn't choose ArcSight Logger for this purpose."
"They should improve their web interface to make it more user-friendly."
"It's great for VMware, but it would be good if they had third-party logins."
"In the VMware environment, one area for improvement is the handling of VM failovers due to host failures, such as unexpected shutdowns from hardware issues. Currently, High Availability (HA) doesn't seem to recognize whether the VMs are online during failover, treating them as offline or unavailable."
"The dashboard needs to be improved because this is what I need to monitor my infrastructure."
"Documentation is lacking, including some guide as to how to use the expressions. It is not clear how to look for a log, for example. Some examples in the documentation might be helpful. I think that VMware had good documentation, but it's no longer hosted. The documentation is not as easy to understand as it was before."
"The tool is expensive."
"The solution is a very good tool, but it has a lot of limitations. One of the main issues is around how you define your retention policy, for instance, in Log Insight. It doesn't have it. You can't define a log retention policy. You also can't define the destination or location for your logs. All of the logs are in one index or one bucket."
"Log retention should have more options for user control."
