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."The ESM use cases are the most valuable. It enables us to use the big data collection inside our company. We are able to create use cases for whatever it suits and I find that the most interesting part of any SIEM solution."
"ArcSight's robustness is its most valuable feature."
"Our return on investment for implementing ArcSight Logger over the past 12 months has been positive."
"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."
"It provides in-depth information on business activities once we log into the system."
"The technical support team is good...It is a scalable solution."
"It's a robust, mature product and you can do some really complex operations and analytics."
"It is one of the best products available in the market."
"The setup and installation are very easy."
"What I like is that you can have different storage locations for different applications."
"The most valuable feature is server virtualization. It's been very useful."
"One of the things I like about it is its interface. When it comes to generating reports on VMs and stuff, it's very quick. This is very handy for the technical team, who need to generate reports quickly. So that's really good."
"It allows us to gain a comprehensive overview of our infrastructure."
"We are using it because we have a VMware product. It has its own built in dashboards for VMware products, and that's a good thing."
"Log Insight correlates with the VMware product log. It can assemble the logs you want, making it easier to find the output, incident, or keyword you want to search."
"The tool helps my company deal with security and log analysis, which are very important areas for us...It is a scalable solution."
"It would be better if the product is cheaper."
"Using the ArcSight Logger dashboard is not particularly intuitive or efficient, so it is important to be trained in its use."
"We have had problems with archiving."
"It is really difficult to work in ArcSight Logger, as it is very slow."
"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."
"The platform is quite expensive. They should reduce its cost."
"The next release should have AI capabilities."
"The solution should make it possible to integrate network analysis features."
"Log retention should have more options for user control."
"Documentation is lacking, including some guide as to how to use the expressions. It is not clear how to look for a log, for example. Some examples in the documentation might be helpful. I think that VMware had good documentation, but it's no longer hosted. The documentation is not as easy to understand as it was before."
"From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made more user-friendly."
"Integration with other vendors is something that could be improved, they could add more vendors."
"The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring."
"The solution is a very good tool, but it has a lot of limitations. One of the main issues is around how you define your retention policy, for instance, in Log Insight. It doesn't have it. You can't define a log retention policy. You also can't define the destination or location for your logs. All of the logs are in one index or one bucket."
"It's great for VMware, but it would be good if they had third-party logins."
"I think that it should be able to integrate with other third-party backup and recovery solutions, more that it does now."
