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.

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

"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."
"Usability is the most valuable feature. The accessibility is quite good."
"Thanks to Micro Focus's licensing model, as an MSSP, we are able to see a complete return on our investment almost immediately."
"Allowing for non conventional data feeds from HR into our overall security monitoring practice has allowed us to catch gaps in our exit checklist for employees among other things."
"Once the rules are defined, it is capable of detecting minute changes in the systems, which are effectively based on the entries in the log.​"
"The solution is very good at consolidating logs from a variety of sources."
"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."
"If you're looking for a single product that will let you aggregate, correlate and analyze many different sources in a single place, then there are few competitors that can come close to ArcSight's features."
"The dashboard is the most valuable feature for us as it can show a lot of information about real-time incidents."
 

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."
"It can be overloaded when rules and data monitoring are not optimized and the system receives too many events."
"The only concern is that AI needs to be integrated"
"The stability of ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) is not very robust; I need to monitor all components present in the SIEM daily."
"The dashboard looks a bit cumbersome with the current version."
"I'd like to see some threat intelligence out of the box rather than adding it in subscriptions."
"They need to fix some bugs and increase the search performance speed."
"Technical support has been so frustrating that we've brought in an intermediary, LiveQuest, to deal with HP support for us."
"The user interface of ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager could improve. It is not very good. Additionally, they could integrate the web interface better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"​It is best to be an institutional buyer and directly contact the sales team, as they can provide over-the-top discounts for bulk orders.​"
"Aggregation can help a lot in pushing down licensing costs."
"The cost of the solution is not very high, although hiring a qualified analyst to work with the product is expensive."
"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."
"We have a license to use this solution. The price of ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager is expensive."
"We're paying a fee for an MSSP, and the cost of the total cost of ArcSight ESM was approximately three to four million dollars a year. The price was less than similar solutions. We did not have additional fees."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"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."
