Manager, Information Technology Security at Nesma

Has good integration capability and provides information and events but improvement is needed in information retrieval speed

The best features are the comprehensive event collection and analysis. Once set up properly, we receive all events and information. The team analyzes our data and presents incidents to us. We can communicate with their team to escalate and resolve incidents. It has a feature we use to search for information about our environment and past incidents. This is very valuable. The integration capability is very good - the ClearSkies SaaS NG SIEM team is collaborative. We've integrated most of our systems, including EDR and NDR. They have agents to collect events from servers and assets.

Unified log analysis has strengthened incident detection and supports continuous attack simulation

I do not have any areas for improvement in ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) as I have not delved deeply into it; overall, it is a good package. I would like to see the detection and response features included in the next release of ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM), as security orchestration and automation are increasingly important.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ClearSkies is the best for software as a service and small organizations with up to 500 employees."

"The correlation rules and the user platform are most valuable."

"The integration capability is very good - the ClearSkies SaaS NG SIEM team is collaborative. We've integrated most of our systems, including EDR and NDR. They have agents to collect events from servers and assets."

"It gives better overall visibility. Before, we didn't have a unified system for managing security alerts. ArcSight introduced various alerts, giving us a better visibility of potential problems."

"It is a robust product and has multiple valuable features."

"The solution enables you to monitor logs and to analyze data, but you can also use additional add-ins such as reputation services that can integrate ArcSight ESM with tipping point IPS."

"The feature that I have found the most useful is that it can be deployed to the cloud."

"We do consulting and I get feedback from our clients that the product really helped them with compliance, especially with GDPR."

"The correlation feature is good."

"When WannaCry attacks I can minimize the damage. My company had no protection at the time. We get alerts in ArcSight and then whenever a user got a copy of WannaCry and the WannaCry malware wants to connect to the mother ship, it alerts me in the ArcSight dashboard, and that helps us a lot. We then just go to the user and erase the malware."

"Correlation and data normalization via CEF: The speed of ArcSight's correlation engine, together with data enrichment, makes it a great tool for exploring vast amounts of data."

Cons

"They can add behavior analytics and AI or machine learning technology."

"The main issue for improvement is the platform's slowness in presenting information. Retrieving information can take a little time when clicking on something."

"They can add behavior analytics and AI or machine learning technology. They also improve their correlation engine. In addition to collecting logs from devices, they can collect the traffic and then correlate these logs and the traffic information."

"Deployment typology could be improved. Difficult to scale across all the different lines of businesses."

"Administration of ArcSight is not an easy job. The admin needs to be well experienced in it to identify the root cause and fix it."

"ArcSight uses Oracle DB, which is a bit slow for read/write functions and the main downside to this product."

"ArcSight ESM could improve by adding more features and documentation. There needs to be more documentation."

"The initial setup could be more straightforward."

"The stability can be improved. The competitors are more stable."

"I am having issues with report generation with older versions. I don't know if this is because of compatibility issues, but report generation has been a little bit difficult in older versions. It is not similar to the newer and current versions. We are looking at moving to the cloud. It would be good if ArcSight ESM can move to the cloud. They already seem to be working on this. It would also be very helpful and great if we can integrate external threat intelligence, machine learning, and AI into this solution. It has good dashboards, but they can always be better. Its stability can also be improved."

"Unless someone in your organization is an ArcSight SME, you are going to have a difficult time getting answers."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding pricing, I'd say it's in the middle range. Pricing is very good compared to others."

"They have changed the pricing policy. Its price is competitive. Its price is less than half of the price of QRadar, LogRhythm, and Splunk."

"There is a license required for this solution."

"We have a license to use this solution. The price of ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager is expensive."

"ArcSight can be a little bit expensive because of the area that we work in and the cost. Licensing is mostly on a yearly basis, not monthly."

"The product licenses are inexpensive."

"ArcSight is pretty expensive compared with its competitors. I believe that is fine as it provides value."

"ArcSight ESM is an affordable solution, it cost approximately $200,000 for three years. This price was at a substantial discount."

"The solution is super expensive. At our organization size and license model, I think the price is average to what anyone else would charge us."

"Thanks to Micro Focus's licensing model, as an MSSP, we are able to see a complete return on our investment almost immediately."
