Subhadip Pakrashi - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable solution that provides a deeper insight and threat analysis about the network
ArcSight Analytics is used to get a deeper insight and threat analysis about the network. The solution's threat analysis gives a good view of the network. We can then compare those vulnerabilities and CVS scores worldwide and get a good understanding of how likely the network is to be hit. The kind of report ArcSight Analytics gives is really good. ArcSight Analytics is a very scalable solution that is easy to deploy.
Stephen-Armstrong - PeerSpot reviewer
The SIEM provides a user-friendly UI experience
When events come into the system, the dashboard categorizes them by the highest risk score, not when they appear on the system. When you've got multiple ongoing incidents you can only see the highest risk score at the top of the list rather than the most recent detection. Exabeam's reporting dashboard could have included a filtering option to filter by the most recent detection.

"I have customers that like the EUBA functionality of it. The solution has the ability to build a session, basically. It pulls a lot of information together, for example, everything a user does in a specific timeframe. It's quite helpful."
"The way it can connect with AWS is very useful, and the integrations are pretty good."
"The advanced analytics has a really great overview of user behavior."
"It's a very user-friendly product and it's a very comprehensive technology."

"ArcSight's features that can be improved include anything related to its visualization capabilities and user friendliness."
"[There is] complexity in maintaining it and managing it. It's not easy to use. It requires a lot of training."

"The reporting and the way it is worded needs to be improved in future releases. The dashboards are quite poorly designed."
"It's a difficult product to navigate, it's complex."
"Inactive connections from servers, which are upgraded or downgraded within a VM, should be automatically revoked."
"Exabeam needs to improve its adaptive nature towards rules and its capability to understand the entire client environment faster."
"Adding to the number of certifications that they have, for example, ISO 27001, would be helpful."
"The initial setup of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is complex because it needs to integrate with the SIEM solution, but after this is complete it is straightforward."
"We use the on-prem Exabeam product and face limitations using the web UI and administration of custom models and rules."
"The customer service and support are not satisfactory."
"One area that needs improvement is interacting with Exabeam's API. There was a headache regarding the API; the documentation wasn't clear, and the syntax wasn't very precise."

"Exabeam's reporting dashboard could have included a filtering option to filter by the most recent detection."
