Nagendra Nekkala - PeerSpot reviewer
A user-friendly solution that can be used to integrate the logs properly with different connectors
ArcSight Intelligence is easy to maintain; one person is enough for the solution's maintenance. The maintenance person will add new features or devices, make policy changes or configurations, and learn and guide other engineers about new threats. ArcSight Intelligence is a user-friendly solution, and users should buy it if their company can afford its cost. Overall, I rate ArcSight Intelligence a nine out of ten.
