Efficient log management enhances activity monitoring despite VPN user issue
Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users. When a VPN user logs in, it doesn't really capture the time before this. If you're testing with existing or new device integration, then the product will be good in the market.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications. It seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial. I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team."
"It is stable."
"The user interface is very good."
"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."
"The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"The tool's reports show activities."
"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 product has a valuable interface."
"The platform helps us improve threat detection capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of ArcSight Intelligence is a single console where the entire dashboard gives all the connected details in a single place."
"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."
 

Cons

"The scalability is limited."
"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"There's a lot to improve in terms of connectivity. Currently, we're utilizing it across various infrastructures and environments, including others' cloud. However, connecting it to our infrastructure and integrating it with some of our SMAX solutions poses difficulties."
"I would like to see more detailed reports."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."
"Support could improve to make the solution better."
"We haven't found the product fully scalable."
"The dashboard is not user-friendly and is in black and white."
"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."
"ArcSight Intelligence is a bit slower, and its speed should be improved."
"ArcSight Intelligence's pricing needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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…
