I've evaluated Splunk and IBM Q1 but LogLogic is the best choice for log management. SIEM functionality needs improvement.
If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice. The SIEM functionality is not at that level, and I suggest instead to choose another SIEM solution (eg: IBM Q1). In my experience, a good practice is to separate log management from SIEM in a way that they are two separate systems.

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

"Having logs in a central location helps with troubleshooting, forensic investigations, and legal investigations."
"If you are searching for log management solution, LogLogic is probably the best choice."
"When WannaCry attacks I can minimize the damage; my company had no protection at the time, and we get alerts in ArcSight whenever a user gets a copy of WannaCry and the malware wants to connect to the mother ship, it alerts me in the ArcSight dashboard and that helps us a lot because we can then just go to the user and erase the malware."
"It is a vital tool for live monitoring and helps us to understand the traffic alerts of any major issue on the network, thereby reducing hacking attempts."
"I am satisfied with the solution's stability."
"Due simply to the user features available out-of-the-box, the convenience it can bring to any organization (when deployed and configured correctly) can greatly assist any enterprise in many facets, from an increased and enhanced security posture, to auditory regulations and even data retention."
"It is a very useful tool for intelligence building because it has many use cases and many rule sets."
"ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager has good scalability."
"The web logger allows me to view and inquire about various events in real time and is the most useful feature for me because it lets me look at traffic in real time, add filters that remove traffic that is not interesting, narrow down my research to only important traffic, and create reports to evaluate my findings and send information to my customers."
"It's a good price, it's one of the cheaper solutions."
 

Cons

"Definitely SIEM – other vendors have gone a lot further in developing SIEM functionality and made a lot more in this area."
"Customer Service: On a scale of 1-5, 0. They say the right things but don't deliver when it counts."
"Today it takes still a lot of consulting dollars to go into trying to deploy ArcSight. You have to have a very powerful technologist or technologist team to deploy ArcSight at scale and be able to actually understand the events coming inbound and make the right tangible decisions from those points of ingress or points of notification."
"ArcSight also has a very high bandwidth consumption to pull the local servers."
"I would like for them to integrate mobile devices. Integration or any kind of functionality which will act as a substitute for IBM so that we can really track our mobile devices as well as look at SIEM."
"The solution could be more stable."
"When we need to consume old events, we have to wait for a long time. ArcSight should improve the database capability to reply to queries faster. It would also be interesting if they implemented network visibility. For example, they could add a feature like NetWitness with a model just for looking through the packets."
"Customer service during the transition from HPE to Micro Focus was abysmal where it became disruptive to our service delivery."
"The analytics feature is not reliable and needs improvement for more detailed analysis."
"They should try to include business logic vulnerabilities in the SIEM tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Thanks to Micro Focus's licensing model, as an MSSP, we are able to see a complete return on our investment almost immediately."
"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 pricing is great compared to others."
"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."
"Aggregation can help a lot in pushing down licensing costs."
"The pricing model is expensive compared to open-source alternatives."
"ArcSight ESM is an affordable solution, it cost approximately $200,000 for three years. This price was at a substantial discount."
"It's a good price, it's one of the cheaper solutions."
