The solution is a consistent logging platform that provides excellent query mechanisms
We can query a lot of data points and build dashboards. The vendor is good at adjusting their models. Most companies want us to forecast our yearly use and pay it upfront on day one. With Logz.io, we commit to use 14 TB in a year. However, they measure us every month and give us a monthly bill. Depending on our monthly usage, we pay for 14 TB divided by 12 months or a little extra. It's a little bit more like AWS. Other solutions do not do it. They want their money upfront. We really like the dashboards. We have 36 sub-accounts. Each sub-account is an app, and we could put restrictions on that app. Previously, there were capacity restrictions on the sub-accounts. If we have a sub-account of 1 TB and use only 100 GB, we waste 900 GB that day. We could not share it between sub-accounts. Now, they provide an overhead volume. We do a reserve, and any sub-account could use anything over the reserve. It utilizes our footprint better.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool is simple to setup where it is just plug and play. The tool is reliable and we never had any performance issues."
"It is massively useful and great for testing. We can just go, find logs, and attach them easily. It has a very quick lookup. Whereas, before we would have to go, dig around, and find the server that the logs were connected to, then go to the server, download the log, and attach it. Now, we can just go straight to this solution, type in the log ID and server ID, and obtain the information that we want."
"The query mechanism for response codes and application health is valuable."
"The visualizations in Kibana are the most valuable feature. It's much more convenient to have a visualization of logs. We can see status really clearly and very fast, with just a couple of clicks."
"We use the tool to track the dev and production environment."
"We use the product for log collection and monitoring."
"InsightOne is the main reason why we use LogMeIn. This is mostly because of log data that we are pushing tools and logs in general."
"The other nice thing about Logz.io is their team. When it comes to onboarding, their support is incredibly proactive. They bring the brand experience from a customer services perspective because their team is always there to help you refine filters and tweak dashboards. That is really a useful thing to have. Their engagement is really supportive."
"The platform helps us improve threat detection capabilities."
"We found the correlation engine to be very good. It takes logs from different types of devices and does the correlation in a good way."
"The product has a valuable interface."
"The ability to tailor an environment to suit our specific use cases is a major advantage of ArcSight compared to other logging servers such as Splunk."
"The most valuable feature of ArcSight Intelligence is a single console where the entire dashboard gives all the connected details in a single place."
 

Cons

"When it comes to reducing our troubleshooting time, it depends. When there are no bugs in Logz.io, it reduces troubleshooting by 5 to 10 percent. When there are bugs, it increases our troubleshooting time by 200 percent or more."
"Capacity planning could be a little bit of a struggle."
"I would like them to improve how they manage releases. Some of our integrations integrate specifically with set versions. Logz.io occasionally releases an update that might break that integration. On one occasion, we found out a little bit too late, then we had to roll it back."
"The price can be cheaper and they should have better monitoring."
"The solution needs to expand its access control and make it accessible through API."
"I would like granularity on alerting so we can get tentative alerts and major alerts, then break it down between the two."
"The solution needs to improve its data retention. It should be greater than seven days. The product needs to improve its documentation as well."
"The product needs improvement from a filtering perspective."
"ArcSight Intelligence is a bit slower, and its speed should be improved."
"We haven't found the product fully scalable."
"The dashboard is not user-friendly and is in black and white."
"ArcSight Intelligence's pricing needs improvement."
"The frequency of the updates that we are getting can be improved because the number and types of incidents that are happening at the global level are far more than what we are receiving. The frequency of updates feeds related to our rules should be increased. There should be more frequent information about the new rules that are coming and the global threats that are happening. There should be better options for dashboard creation. At present, the dashboards are good, but there is scope to make them better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is a little expensive."
"The tool is an open source product."
"At the time it was set up, we thought Logz.io was very reasonable for what we were getting in terms of how much time and hosting costs it was saving us, because you don't have to run the servers for it anymore."
"You pay for what you need, and that is a good model. They are also quite happy to talk to you about your uses and your use case. They will even go as far as suggesting things that you don't need to do in order to save you money. At one point, I was quite surprised at how cheap it could be if we wanted it to be or how much they would help us manage our costs."
"The product's pricing is cheaper than other solutions."
"They offer perpetual licenses for the product."
"ArcSight Intelligence is an expensive solution."
"Its price is average and not very high. Splunk might be a bit cheaper than this. Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"It is an expensive platform."
"The solution is expensive and only suitable for enterprise environments."

Cybereason vs. Interset vs. SQRRL
Capture DB - they all use NoSQL db and hence solve the ad hoc query and 'go back in time' problem with current best of breed SIEM and DLP solutions that rely on real time analysis of incoming logs (and don't store them). This means deeper and quicker iterative threat analysis and assessment…
