Executive SummaryUpdated on Feb 4, 2025

Exabeam and ArcSight Analytics are strong competitors in the security analytics market. Exabeam appears to have an advantage due to its user-friendly interface, advanced features, and integration capabilities, while ArcSight is praised for its deep threat analysis and scalability but criticized for complexity and cost.

Features: Exabeam offers advanced analytics, behavior analytics, and automation. It features timeline creation and robust integration capabilities. ArcSight Analytics provides deep threat insights, a solid foundation for scalability, and a comprehensive security analysis.

Room for Improvement: Exabeam could improve its documentation, real-time analysis capabilities, and dashboard customization. It faces critiques of slow response times and frequent false positives. ArcSight needs to enhance user-friendliness, integration capabilities, and dashboard design, with common concerns about complexity and slow query processing.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Exabeam supports various deployment environments with strong cloud integration. Users appreciate its customer support but note mixed response speed. ArcSight operates mainly on-premises, has limited cloud options, good support, but is noted for its complex setup and difficulty for less experienced users.

Pricing and ROI: Exabeam's flexible pricing models are based on user count or data volume, though seen as costly by some, users report high ROI due to reduced operational expenses. ArcSight is viewed as expensive, with licensing costs varying by company size, and while pricing has improved, it remains among the highest in the market.

It has improved our system and network policy monitoring

They should improve on the following: * Timely resolution of issues and proper support once a ticket has been generated. * Systems appearing on the network which are not part of the domain controller. These should be monitored. * Inactive connections from servers, which are upgraded or downgraded within a VM, should be automatically revoked. * Logger monitoring should be separated from ESM monitoring. * Ability to integrate with cloud-based applications and monitor cloud-based events. * Ability to log and notify tailored rules via SMS/email. * Provide more ArcSight training and workshops.

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.
