We performed a comparison between ArcSight Logger and Graylog based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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's a robust, mature product and you can do some really complex operations and analytics."
"The log digestion features from threat intelligence platforms like Recorded Future or Talos are valuable."
"The solution provides information about the risk factors."
"In our country we are a little bit private in terms of solutions, so we are just starting to use the basic data capture. Now some users can start to use additional features that come with Micro Focus ArcSight like user behavior analytics for investigating."
"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."
"It is one of the best products available in the market."
"The ability to customize the solution in great detail is its most valuable features. We can customize the use cases and also have the ability to do scripting. We can personalize our dashboard as well. The scalability the solution offers is quite impressive."
"I am very proud of how very stable the solution is."
"Graylog's search functionality, alerting functionality, user management, and dashboards are useful."
"This had increased productivity for the dev and support teams, because we are directly notifying them."
"Message forwarding through the in-built module."
"The ability to write custom alerts is key to information security and compliance."
"We're using the Community edition, but I know that it has really good dashboarding and alerts."
"The product is scalable. The solution is stable."
"We run a containerized microservices environment. Being able to set up streams and search for errors and anomalies across hundreds of containers is why a log aggregation platform like Graylog is valuable to us."
"The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost."
"It would be better if the product is cheaper."
"I would like to see better scheduling in the next release of this solution."
"ArcSight has been sold two or three times, and the quality has decreased."
"We find that the search and access functionality is quite slow."
"We have had problems with archiving."
"The console in older versions is not user-friendly."
"Using the ArcSight Logger dashboard is not particularly intuitive or efficient, so it is important to be trained in its use."
"The infrastructure cost is the main issue. I like the rest. If the infrastructure costs could be lower, it would be fantastic."
"There should be some user groups and an auto sign-in feature."
"I hope to see improvements in Graylog for more interactivity, user-friendliness, and creating alerts. The initial setup is complex."
"Since container orchestration systems are popular and Graylog fits the niche well, perhaps they could officially support running in docker containers on Kubernetes as a StatefulSet as a use case. That way, the declarative nature of Kubernetes config files would document their best case deployment scenario-"
"Lacks sufficient documentation."
"Over six months, I had two similar issues where searches were performed on field "messages". It exhausted all the memory of the ES node causing an ES crash and a Graylog halt."
"More complex visualizations and the ability to execute custom Elasticsearch queries would be great."
"I would like to see a default dashboard widget that shows the topology of the clusters defined for the graylog install."
