Syed Ubaid Ali Jafri - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The correlation engine is good."
"ArcSight Analytics is used to get a deeper insight and threat analysis about the network."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"Allows multiple integrations with multiple systems in a stable and flexible fashion."
"This solution makes it easy to create use cases, and it is easy to move queries from use cases to the report to the dashboard."
"The most valuable features are that you get lots of connectors, which make it easy to log in to my ASM, and lots of prebuilt roles from the company."
"The most valuable feature is the log monitoring."
"ArcSight Analytics has improved our system and network policy monitoring."
"The most valuable feature of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is the easy-to-use user interface."
"The way it can connect with AWS is very useful, and the integrations are pretty good."
"The solution's automation capabilities are great."
"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."
"Timeline based analysis; good platform support"
"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."
"The advanced analytics has a really great overview of user behavior."
"The UI was very clean."
 

Cons

"The GUI interface is not always intuitive and easy for non-technical users to work with."
"The reporting and the way it is worded needs to be improved in future releases. The dashboards are quite poorly designed."
"Currently, there are no compatible connectors for this solution, which means we have to depend on FlexConnectors."
"[There is] complexity in maintaining it and managing it. It's not easy to use. It requires a lot of training."
"Inactive connections from servers, which are upgraded or downgraded within a VM, should be automatically revoked."
"ArcSight's features that can be improved include anything related to its visualization capabilities and user friendliness."
"It needs more user analytics and aggregation user queries. And it's slow. When you query over ArcSight, it is very slow."
"I faced stability issues with Windows Operating System. The installed connectors hang if they remain idle for a long period of time."
"Exabeam's reporting dashboard could have included a filtering option to filter by the most recent detection."
"They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails."
"I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product."
"Exabeam needs to improve its documentation and provide more customization for dashboards and case management."
"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."
"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."
"Exabeam lacks customizable dashboards, which might be a limitation if visualization is a key requirement."
"Updating the new release of Exabeam Fusion SIEM takes time and slows our performance."
