Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is one of the best products available in the market.""It's a brilliant log collection tool, and it can handle hundreds of thousands of servers in a single shot to ingest the data.""The most valuable feature is the search capability, which is simple to use.""In terms of ArcSight Logger's most valuable feature, it is their scalability. ArcSight's real advantage is its scalability because they have two layers, including the logger layer.""We check a lot of logs in ArcSight Logger because we're running a massive database platform.""I am impressed with the product's ability to pick up logs. It also has UEBA which has reduced the time to take charge of the events.""It provides in-depth information on business activities once we log into the system.""Some of the most valuable features I really appreciate are the performance, how quick the solution is, and how easy it is to create a query."

"I like the monitoring feature.""The most valuable feature is the multi-cloud integration, where there is support for both GCP and AWS.""Our company has a corporate account for Google Cloud and so our systems and clusters integrate really well.""It's easy to use.""The cloud login enables us to get our logs from the different platforms that we currently use.""We find the solution to be stable.""Google's technical support is very good.""The features that I have found most valuable are its graphs - if I need any statistics, in Kubernetes or Kong level or VPN level, I can quickly get the reports."

Cons
"The solution must provide readymade connectors for different applications.""Using the ArcSight Logger dashboard is not particularly intuitive or efficient, so it is important to be trained in its use.""In the next release, I want to see more intelligence.""The integration with other systems could be improved.""It's not a new product and is a bit complex. So, it requires a person dedicated to working on it and to know about it in and out. It is a huge product, and the search operation is a bit complicated for a new user or someone who has not used it for long. So for that person, it becomes a bit difficult.""The console in older versions is not user-friendly.""The solution should make it possible to integrate network analysis features.""The speed of Logger indexing and searching for certain bugs for some queries that we provide could be improved. It can handle a huge number of logs but it can be improved."

More ArcSight Logger Cons →

"While we are satisfied with the overall performance, in certain cases we must add additional metrics and additional tools like Grafana and Dynatrace.""If I want to track any round-trip or breakdowns of my response times, I'm not able to get it. My request goes through various levels of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and comes back to my client machine. Suppose that my request has taken 10 seconds overall, so if I want to break it down, to see where the delay is happening within my architecture, I am not able to find that out using Stackdriver.""The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient.""It could be even more automated.""This solution could be improved if it offered the ability to analyze charts, such as a solution like Kibana.""Lacking sufficient operations documentation.""The logging functionality could be better.""It could be more stable."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer: We have a trigger. So, Logger automatically blocks these IP addresses. We could have Logger put them on a blacklist.
    Top Answer:The pricing isn't the problem. We have a lifetime license, so we don't pay a monthly fee.
    Top Answer:The solution has room for improvement. We're currently upgrading to the newer version, where they have something like Kafka, a hub for all solutions feeding information into Logger. However, I think… more »
    Top Answer:It could be even more automated. For instance, the moment you deploy something, the monitoring can be there for everything. You will just have to launch or click the console in the morning, and then… more »
