Featured Reviews

Gary Herbstman - PeerSpot reviewer
Experienced reduced alert fatigue with streamlined notifications
We use Blackpoint Cyber MDR for our higher-end clients who need a higher level of control over security I appreciate that there are people behind the scenes sorting out valuable alerts from those that are not, so I only get alerts when they are real. This feature ensures that I am notified only…
Pravir KumarSinha - PeerSpot reviewer
Has essential threat detection capabilities, but the features for intelligence need enhancement
We integrated this tool with our security infrastructure. We installed it on a Linux server, where we have a Logger and ESM installed. With the Linux server as the hub, we manage all the configurations and rules, including those for email triggers. The logs are routed through a connector to the Logger, allowing us to monitor our infrastructure effectively. The platform helps us improve threat detection capabilities. I recommend it to others and rate it a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I appreciate that there are people behind the scenes sorting out valuable alerts from those that are not, so I only get alerts when they are real."
"The solution also watches over Microsoft 365 and keeps a copy of logs."
"Their SOC is phenomenal in not monitoring and responding and taking action."
"On my end, the most valuable feature of this solution is that I can install it and forget about it. After that, their SOC team takes over and they only call me when there's a problem."
"The solution is all encompassing and can incorporate email monitoring."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate the overall solution as a ten."
"I appreciate that there are people behind the scenes sorting out valuable alerts from those that are not, so I only get alerts when they are real."
"We found the correlation engine to be very good. It takes logs from different types of devices and does the correlation in a good way."
"The most valuable feature of ArcSight Intelligence is a single console where the entire dashboard gives all the connected details in a single place."
"The ability to tailor an environment to suit our specific use cases is a major advantage of ArcSight compared to other logging servers such as Splunk."
"The product has a valuable interface."
"The platform helps us improve threat detection capabilities."
 

Cons

"Some texts seem to report items as normal too quickly."
"The feature we keep asking for is a vulnerability scan."
"While I am very satisfied with the service, supporting additional platforms, particularly Linux support, would be a beneficial improvement."
"While I am very satisfied with the service, supporting additional platforms, particularly Linux support, would be a beneficial improvement."
"The solution does not tie into other EDR products like CyberArk or CrowdStrike but that might be more useful."
"The interface could be more intuitive. More transparency is needed in the interface as a lot of details are hidden behind the scenes, making them difficult or impossible to access."
"The interface could be more intuitive."
"ArcSight Intelligence's pricing needs improvement."
"The frequency of the updates that we are getting can be improved because the number and types of incidents that are happening at the global level are far more than what we are receiving. The frequency of updates feeds related to our rules should be increased. There should be more frequent information about the new rules that are coming and the global threats that are happening. There should be better options for dashboard creation. At present, the dashboards are good, but there is scope to make them better."
"The dashboard is not user-friendly and is in black and white."
"ArcSight Intelligence is a bit slower, and its speed should be improved."
"We haven't found the product fully scalable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is in line with other products."
"They offer perpetual licenses for the product."
"Its price is average and not very high. Splunk might be a bit cheaper than this. Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"The solution is expensive and only suitable for enterprise environments."
"It is an expensive platform."
"ArcSight Intelligence is an expensive solution."

Cybereason vs. Interset vs. SQRRL
Capture DB - they all use NoSQL db and hence solve the ad hoc query and 'go back in time' problem with current best of breed SIEM and DLP solutions that rely on real time analysis of incoming logs (and don't store them). This means deeper and quicker iterative threat analysis and assessment…
