Executive SummaryUpdated on Sep 21, 2025

OpenText Enterprise Security Manager and Coralogix are two security solutions that compete in the enterprise security market. OpenText Enterprise Security Manager seems to have the upper hand in integration and customization but is considered more complex, whereas Coralogix is easier to deploy and user-friendly.

Features: OpenText Enterprise Security Manager offers advanced integration capabilities, massive device support, and powerful correlation. It effectively collects data from diverse sources and provides robust threat detection with complex rules and custom correlators. Coralogix provides a modern log analysis engine with easy setup and simple alerting mechanisms aimed at quick insights and high operability.

Room for Improvement: OpenText Enterprise Security Manager could improve technical support, documentation, and performance. Users find the interface outdated and complex to set up. Coralogix could enhance its AI capabilities, Terraform provider, and customization options. It also needs better data volume cost management.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: OpenText Enterprise Security Manager supports on-premises and hybrid cloud deployments, making logistics challenging. Its technical support is criticized for slow responses and lack of depth. Coralogix leverages the public cloud for smoother deployment. Its customer support is efficient but could improve on advanced support inquiries.

Pricing and ROI: OpenText Enterprise Security Manager is costly due to its comprehensive capabilities, offering ROI through complex security management. Coralogix provides flexible pricing adaptable to small-scale uses, appealing to budget-sensitive businesses, but increasing data volume raises costs, requiring efficient log management for assured ROI.

SaaS platform used by developers to store and conveniently search for logs

If a company has the budget and the log service is critical for them, I would say use Coralogix. It is a very good service for that. I would rate Coralogix an eight out of ten. It is an excellent service for storing logs for a long time. The capacity is unlimited for unindexed logs. The cost model is also very efficient because you pay for the ingested data per month. This can be compared to a solution like New Relic where you have to pay it upfront and cannot limit the data ingestion. Coralogix provides an easy way to search for logs and to visualize them. This a great feature because developers are constantly looking for or browsing logs.

Ramnesh Dubey

Solutions Architect at Ericsson

Allows for monitoring logs according to industry standards within ESM but has a total capacity capped at 12 TB, limiting real-time data retention periods

The first limitation is with the ArcSight Data Storage Manager (ADSM). ArcSight's total capacity is currently capped at 12 TB. This becomes an issue if a customer needs a longer real-time data retention period, such as exceeding 90 days or reaching a year or even ten months. Increasing the disk space beyond 12 TB is not currently possible. So, increasing the storage capacity is one area for improvement. Additionally, the real-time data retention is limited due to the 12 TB restriction. Depending on the Events Per Second (EPS) you receive, you might only be able to retain data for seven to ten days. Overall, the 12 TB limit is the main issue we face in terms of maximizing real-time data storage. Moreover, there are a few improvements I would like to see in future releases. My main suggestion for ArcSight is to simplify the deployment process. Currently, the installation process is quite complex. There are various components involved, including transformations, multiple installations, and containerization for various components. Ideally, I'd recommend that ArcSight allow the entire installation, including the ESM and database, to be completed within a single unified setup process for a streamlined experience. Additionally, having readily available and well-organized documentation for the step-by-step installation process would be incredibly helpful. I would also like to see better support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams."

"For now, we have not experienced any stability issues."

"The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces."

"The solution is easy to use and to start with."

"Coralogix scales well, and I will rate it nine out of ten."

"A non-tech person can easily get used to it."

More Coralogix pros

"The most valuable features of ArcSight ESM are ease of use and readily usable components."

"ArcSight gives us better visibility into threats that were unknown earlier."

"ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) is very cheap compared to other tools."

"The reports that we are from getting from ArcSight are very valuable. The reporting in ArcSight is good. Our regulators ask us for the reports on a regular basis, and we have been able to provide the required data. Its overall functionality in terms of log analysis and the speed at which it does that is also valuable. It is very quick. Whatever alerts we had configured were extremely fast. We immediately get alerts when there is unauthorized access or unknown access, or even positive access. This is where we found the difference between ArcSight and other solutions."

"The solution offers very good monitoring."

"Feature-rich solution which provides better network visibility for improved security"

"It is a very useful tool for intelligence building because it has many use cases and many rule sets."

"ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) works perfectly. It's a stable and scalable product."

More OpenText Enterprise Security Manager pros

Cons

"The user interface is not intuitive, especially when first onboarding, and improvements could be made here."

"The user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory."

"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."

"The features we were missing in the past were related to the way we see our metrics and aggregate our data."

"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions. The increasing volume of data and the resulting bandwidth charges are concerns."

"We want it to work at what it is expected to work at and not really based on the updated configuration which one developer has decided to change."

"Coralogix should have some AI capabilities to auto-detect anomalies and provide suggestions."

"The customizable dashboards haven't really helped with my company's efficiency at all, and I think there's room for improvement."

More Coralogix cons

"When I asked our networking juniors for a comparison between LogRhythm and ArcSight, they said that both platforms are almost the same. It is just that LogRhythm is more modern with a digital platform, which probably gives it some advantage over ArcSight. ArcSight is a very old and mature product that is running on an old platform. It is an old legacy platform. In terms of new features, it just requires platform upgrades so that it becomes lighter and easily adaptable, specifically in the cloud. It would be a good thing if they can also make reporting easier."

"They also could improve the product by integrating user and identity behavior analytics."

"In certain cases, this product does have false positives, which the company should work on."

"The initial setup is very complex. We had to architect a deployment which allowed us to incorporate an ever growing number of customers into our hosted instance of ArcSight."

"The tool should improve its UI. It also should make data more searchable."

"In other products, I have found that they use some kind of GUI that is drag and drop. While in ArcSight they use still scripting. They should keep scripting because some people prefer scripting but they should have the option for those who prefer using drag and drop."

"Its search part can be improved. When I go to the console and search for a few logs or something else, it takes a lot of time. When I try to search for three days or one week, it takes too much time. This is a major area of improvement. I wanted them to include features like SOAR, threat intelligence, and automation, and they seem to have included all these features in version 7.3 or 7.4."

"It would be nice to have it on the cloud so that you can deploy it easily, saving time and resources."

More OpenText Enterprise Security Manager cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform has a reasonable cost. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."

"Currently, we are at a very minimal cost, which is around $400 per month since we have reduced our usage. Initially, we were at $900 per month."

"We are paying roughly $5,000 a month."

"The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested."

"Customers without a ton of resources to dedicate to deployment may be better served by a managed ArcSight service."

"HPE ArcSight pricing might be more expensive than other SIEM solutions, but in my opinion it has powerful features and great flexibility in developing complex use cases."

"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."

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

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

"The product licenses are inexpensive."

"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."

"Pricing is good, I'd rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with ten being low price. It's better than Splunk and IBM QRadar because their pricing is based on EPS."
