Great for PCI compliance but issues with stability and large amounts of data
I mainly use this solution to meet PCI compliance The automation of compliance reports and the correlation of the log have been major improvements.  The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance. The correlation suite needs to be improved. I also think they need to…

Excels at performing regression and correlation on the data
ArcSight is a legacy technology, and many customers want AI-powered technologies integrated with it. That hasn't been done yet, but ArcSight needs to catch up with the newer solutions and technologies available in the market. It can't just rely on the legacy technology from 2010 or 2012. You can't run that in 2024. It's a legacy technology with its own limitations. Customers often face issues that other software or newer solutions can resolve easily. That's the main challenge we face from customers right now. So, the only concerns are that AI needs to be integrated and scalability improved. Those are the main areas to be improved.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"File integrity monitoring is a very important function."
"The FIM features in the Change Tracker and the Log Tracker are the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance."
"This is a very easy-to-use interface with a quick ramp-up time."
"Customization. ArcSight gives you a platform to on-board out-of-the-box devices with a more accurate way of collecting desired logs/events."
"SmartConnector: Normalization parses raw logs and converts them into CEF (common event format). This is the core of the product."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation of different logs that are collected."
"I value the event correlation of this product."
"This process has helped to improve our organization because we have centralized the intra-group security equipment logs."
"Some of the benefits of using this solution are rapid correlation and near-time response on alerts."
"The most useful features are directories, price, and live reporting."
 

Cons

"It is able to identify the vulnerability, however, they need an option to auto-mitigate."
"I would like to see the integration of AI technology, so rather than manually monitoring the logs, the tool will understand it and take care of it."
"Only one minor deployment issue came up and it was resolved quickly. No other areas of improvement come to mind yet."
"The correlation suite needs to be improved."
"The first limitation is with the ArcSight Data Storage Manager (ADSM). ArcSight's total capacity is currently capped at 12 TB. This becomes an issue if a customer needs a longer real-time data retention period, such as exceeding 90 days or reaching a year or even ten months. Increasing the disk space beyond 12 TB is not currently possible."
"The UI interface is somewhat complex and needs to be simplified."
"I faced some problems implementing certain attacks, which was my biggest concern. The visualization wasn't very good, and I couldn't create good monitoring dashboards."
"Could benefit from a more modern interface."
"The centralized dashboard for the hybrid cloud environment needs to be more focused. It needs to be redefined because it's missing most of the information. It should be a little bit easy to use. Currently, integration with various applications and connectors is not that easy. Deployment is easy, but integration is not that easy. ArcSight also has a very high bandwidth consumption to pull the local servers. It should have some kind of better process or ability to transfer files from on-premises to the cloud, from the cloud to on-premises, and from a cloud to another cloud."
"Currently lacks SOAR feature."
"The only concern is that AI needs to be integrated"
"The analytics feature is not reliable and needs improvement for more detailed analysis.​"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have selected a perpetual license along with support."
"Consider both their on-premises solution and their hosted solution. Both are reasonably priced."
"NNT's pricing is moderate - I would rate their pricing two-and-a-half out of ten."
"Customers without a ton of resources to dedicate to deployment may be better served by a managed ArcSight service."
"The licensing cost is affordable if you get an enterprise license. The licensing is based on EPS, so you can probably provide a package of license for multiple ESMs with their correlational end fees. It is cost-effective."
"The solution is super expensive. At our organization size and license model, I think the price is average to what anyone else would charge us."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"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."
"It's a good price, it's one of the cheaper solutions."
"​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.​"
"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."
