Real-time monitoring and analytics are very easy and fast and very easy to use
The alerting and real-time analytics helped the security team. They are using a Hadoop database, so real-time monitoring and analytics are very easy and fast. Queries return results quickly and in very small time. It has full automation and automated SIEM responses. We are currently only testing Logsign, but in a few months, we plan to integrate our servers, routers, firewalls, and endpoints into our company's Logsign instance. Then, we can manage everything using Logsign.

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

"Logsign provides sample logs within the product, allowing users to see how logs will appear before integration, which is a valuable feature for testing and understanding log formats."
"It has full automation and automated SIEM responses."
"The most valuable features of Logsign SIEM are its cloud capabilities, alerting functionality, integration with Elastic Search, and configuration options."
"The stability of the solution is very good; it's pretty perfect, actually, as we don't have crashes, it doesn't freeze, there aren't bugs or glitches, and it's completely reliable."
"We use ArcSight ESM for log analysis and security alerts. It warns us of threats and then helps us conduct a forensic investigation of a cyber attack or internal incident after it happens."
"It has improved our organization because we had many investigations that it helped us with."
"Feature-rich solution which provides better network visibility for improved security"
"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 fantastic product and highly configurable, but it needs nothing less than a seasoned cyber security professional with serious engineering expertise and a real desire to provide meaningful use cases."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"It is easy to use when we created some dashboards for analytics."
 

Cons

"Improvements needed in Logsign SIEM are providing specific security alerts that can be filtered and configured more effectively."
"AI and machine learning need to be developed. If they develop those features, I think everything will be fine."
"I hope they address the pricing model for Logsign Next-Gen SIEM, especially regarding regional variations. The pricing should not differ based on the country of operation as it can lead to dissatisfaction among customers. A fixed pricing structure would be more favorable for us. I would also suggest enhancing the GUI interface and adding features similar to xFi Exchange from IBM Pure. This would streamline operations and save time for analysts."
"The layout of the analyst's console need improvement. Also, the advanced statistics in visualizations simply don't work, and I've performed an analysis of these functions."
"The roadmap is not clear."
"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."
"What could be improved in ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) is its analytics feature."
"The initial setup is complex."
"HPE ArcSight has a quite steep learning curve."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward."
"ArcSight uses Oracle DB, which is a bit slow for read/write functions and the main downside to this product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other SIEMs, it has low pricing."
"​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.​"
"The pricing model is expensive compared to open-source alternatives."
"Price-wise, ArcSight ESM was a bit high compared to competitors, which factored into our decision to switch to Splunk. It couldn't cover all our business needs for what we wanted to implement."
"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."
"The product licenses are inexpensive."
"ArcSight is pretty expensive compared with its competitors. I believe that is fine as it provides value."
"It's a good price, it's one of the cheaper solutions."
"The pricing is great compared to others."
