Heart of the SOC
Our company and our partners facing a lot incidents masked as a normal events. The SIEM helped us to be protected and to prioritize the events, based of the security risk. Automations of the responses is the other feauture that is a key differentiator.
PROSVery powerful SIEM with plenty of predefined corellation scenarios. Could be integrate easily with almost everything.
CONSFor new users could be a little difficult to play with, but there are a lot of training materials and courses.

It provides powerful features to make every operation with received logs.
I have been using this product for about 3 years. We use ESM and Logger products. As a SIEM solution, we are able to host this product in our environment. We monitor the alarm and correlation rules, abnormal activities and cyber threats, which we write through the logs we receive from various security products and applications in our environment and monitor our incident response processes.
PROSArcSight supports functions such as processing, categorizing, normalizing, converting alarms and correlations and receiving reports on SIEM with very powerful search and filter operators. The product also supports making and running trend reports. It offers very powerful features for SIEM. It has features that provide great flexibility on logs. My favorite feature is the trend report. With this feature, real-time logs over the logs of the report to match the results of the report with a different database to get instant reports to access the report provide quick access.
CONSTicket management feature is one of the least favorite features. It does not have an interface that can be easily adapted and applied according to your environment. If you want to use this feature, you need professional support and software support.
Reason for choosing ArcSight
Especially because of the aforementioned features that I have mentioned above. We have chosen to buy this product because the product seamlessly supports superior features such as processing, categorizing, interpreting, analyzing, alarming and correlating logs, and successfully performing the desired actions on logs.
Vendor Response
Thank you for the 4-star review, it is very much appreciated. We did note your comments about your `least favorite feature? and this certainly helps us build a better product. ArcSight has Case Management; that is different from Ticket Management. Ticket Management is more of a support function / ITSM issue; and while ArcSight does have connectors for ServiceNow, we know it's been problematic for some customers. As you point out, we typically recommend that Professional Services be engaged as each implementation has its idiosyncrasies. That said, improving this area is a KPI for us and we will be looking at options as we move to advance the ?Open? portion of our strategy in late 2019. We'd be happy to hear your thoughts / recommendations in more depth.

Arcsight - Good but complex SIEM solution
Arcsight ESM is a powerful but complex tool that needs deep knowledge of the product.
PROSWe are using Arcsight ESM and Logger for event logging and correlation. Events correlation is done at the ESM level and provides better visibility on organizations' security posture. Dashboards and reports can be generated on ESM and further, it facilitates case management so we can open a case on the tool itself. Arcsight was one of the most demanding tools at the time we implemented the tool. ESM's log supporting surface is very high and almost all the types of logs are supported which is one of the best features of the tool. Further logs can be routed through the smart connectors and through these connectors EPS count can be managed which is a good option when it comes to licensing. I like the option of Flex connectors which can be used for integrating non supporting devices or logs.
CONSArcsight Smart connector setup needs deep knowledge of the tool and configuration is a bit hectic task. Flex connector configuration and correlation configuration is another complex task that cannot be done without product knowledge. Further case management tools need more features with a simple view. First level support should have a technically savvy team. Most of the time the first level support team provides generic solutions and references to knowledge-based articles rather than studying the case.

ArcSight Review
ArcSight is a SIEM tool. Which is used to collecting, analyzing and managing the logs from multiple log sources.
CONSIts all good but it has components which we have to install and use separately. It should be all in one like Splunk.

Micro Focus ArcSight SIEM
We have a lot of security products and applications. We gather all logs from these products and we can easily manage our logs according to rules. Reporting module and dashboard are the best feature of this product.
PROSWe have been using Arcsight SIEM tool in Information Security department in our organization since 2013. We can integrated this product with all other security management products such as Firewall, IPS, Antivirus, Web Filtering etc. also in house softwares easily. We can gather all logs from these products and create rules and manage logs according to rules. Dashboard and alarm mechanism are done well.
CONSSometimes we have some problems with search mechanism, it needs some improvements. Because of our big organization and large products which gather logs sometimes we have problems with troubleshooting issues that is little bit hard for us.
Reason for choosing ArcSight
This product enables the detection and prevention of attacks by establishing connections between the logs (correlation). Normalization and correlation features are the best of this product.
