We performed a comparison between ArcSight Logger and Check Point Security Management 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."The technical support team is good...It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"It's a brilliant log collection tool, and it can handle hundreds of thousands of servers in a single shot to ingest the data."
"We haven't had any crashes or bugs. It is stable."
"It provides in-depth information on business activities once we log into the system."
"ArcSight's robustness is its most valuable feature."
"It is one of the best products available in the market."
"The Check Point Management server is isolated from security gateways, which means that in case there is an issue, we have our configuration ready and we can directly replace the device and push the configuration."
"URL filtering is a very important feature."
"We can track logs of each firewall which is very helpful."
"Each department can easily share data with the management without fear of data compromise."
"Having the possibility to use Smart Event to check for threats on a broader scale helps after a security incident and also makes it easier to check - instead of looking through different logs."
"This solution is easy to install and deploy. It is also user-friendly."
"As the security administrator, who is responsible for the day-to-day tasks (e.g. creating new firewall rules, monitoring the security alerts and incidents etc.) and the maintenance (e.g. installing the new Jumbo Hotfixes), I find the Check Point Security Management R80.10 to be the great solution."
"The rulebase management and the shared layers concept is implemented well."
"Using the ArcSight Logger dashboard is not particularly intuitive or efficient, so it is important to be trained in its use."
"It is really difficult to work in ArcSight Logger, as it is very slow."
"The console in older versions is not user-friendly."
"The solution should make it possible to integrate network analysis features."
"I had some latency issues for two months. I had to increase our storage capacity significantly to reduce the latency."
"We have had problems with archiving."
"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."
"Support is the main area that they need to improve. Our support experience is not very smooth. We are based in Africa, and we don't know whether it is because of our region. I would like a feature where there is a workflow to provide authorization to some users before they're able to create and apply rules. Such a feature should be integrated with the management. It should not be in the box that comes with it."
"I would like to bind users to their network, as well as their local office machine."
"I guess it lacks in providing visibility of the many incidents."
"We sometimes have trouble with the performance of the solution. Maybe some performance tuning options could be added in a future release. There should be more visibility about which blade in your firewall is causing the latency."
"They need to make a Mac version of the SmartConsole, in my opinion."
"The migration from R77 Manager to R80 is a major upgrade. It's not very easy to do. There should be some kind of Wizard for a direct upgrade from the R77 to the R80. There should be an easy way for the customers to do the upgrade."
"The usability of the solution could be improved."
"Check Point could improve by enhancing the networking in their solution in order to align it with the existing network architecture."
