Solution Architect at CTC

Improved threat detection has provided clear user risk insights and streamlined incident response

Exabeam's UEBA is the most valuable feature that I have found so far. Exabeam's UEBA displays the type of description that it could show in a console regarding one particular user, the rating that it shows, and how vulnerable the user is, which is very good. Exabeam's automation for incident response is very good. The machine learning capabilities of Exabeam are also good.

Log analysis has become clearer and faster but visualization and extensibility still need work

The problem was with the complexity and the cost to add extensions. We found this very expensive to buy another version with additional features. I think that Graylog Enterprise does not have customizable dashboards. I did not see them in Graylog Enterprise because most of the time we used the open source free version, which is limited. I think Graylog Enterprise should improve some things that they have in the paid version and perhaps provide users with a menu that gives examples of parsing logs and draws graphics so that people do not need to improve another system such as Grafana. This would be interesting. When it comes to functionalities, I found the log management in Graylog Enterprise acceptable. It is very simple to use and to collect logs. It has support for different protocols and different ports, and the sidecar is easy to use. However, in visualization, I think it needs to be much better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Exabeam Fusion SIEM has a good performance and more advantages than traditional solutions."

"Exabeam's UEBA displays the type of description that it could show in a console regarding one particular user, the rating that it shows, and how vulnerable the user is, which is very good."

"The solution's initial setup process is easy."

"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 advanced analytics has a really great overview of user behavior."

"The setup is not difficult. It was easy."

"The ThreatHunter in Advanced Analytics is the most valuable. It helps analyze compromised assets and provides analysis for any entity within my client's environment."

"The solution's automation capabilities are great."

More Exabeam pros

"Allowing us to set up alerts and integrate with platforms we already use, such as Slack and OpsGenie to alert users of these errors proactively, is also a very useful feature."

"I like the correlation and the alerting."

"This had increased productivity for the dev and support teams, because we are directly notifying them."

"The build is stable and requires little maintenance, even compared to some extremely expensive products."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its new interface."

"We have scaled from a single machine installation (a VM with a Graylog + ES + MongoDB) to (2 Graylog + 2 ES + 3 MongoDB). This was done smoothly with a minimal impact on logging."

"Graylog is very handy."

"It is easier to find some issues, and if I find some issues, then it is easier to resolve them."

More Graylog Enterprise pros

Cons

"We had a large volume right from the beginning and they weren't quite prepared for that. That's something that they should think about when it comes to customers that have a large volume to start off with."

"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."

"They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails."

"Exabeam should be a bit faster, especially in loading and vulnerability scanning."

"One area for the solution's improvement is integration capabilities, particularly out-of-the-box integration which sometimes requires additional professional services."

"The solution's reporting and dashboarding could be improved."

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

"Exabeam needs to improve its documentation and provide more customization for dashboards and case management."

More Exabeam cons

"Since container orchestration systems are popular and Graylog fits the niche well, perhaps they could officially support running in docker containers on Kubernetes as a StatefulSet as a use case. That way, the declarative nature of Kubernetes config files would document their best case deployment scenario-"

"When it comes to configuring the processing pipeline, writing the rules can be very tedious, especially since the documentation isn't extensive on how the functions provided for these rules work."

"The infrastructure cost is the main issue. I like the rest. If the infrastructure costs could be lower, it would be fantastic."

"Elasticsearch recommendations for tuning could be better. Graylog doesn't have direct support for running the system inside of Kubernetes, so it can be challenging to fill in the gaps and set up containers in a way that is both performant and stable."

"There should be some user groups and an auto sign-in feature."

"Lacks sufficient documentation."

"I would like to see a date and time in the Graylog Grok patterns so that I can save time when searching for a log. I like how the streams and the search query work, but adding a date and time will allow me to pull out a log in a milli-second."

"I would like to see some kind of visualization included in Graylog."

More Graylog Enterprise cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Exabeam Fusion SIEM's pricing is reasonable."

"They have a great model for pricing that can be based either on user count or gigabits per day."

"There is an annual license required to use Exabeam Fusion SIEM. The price of the solution should be reduced."

"The solution is expensive."

"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."

"Exabeam is not a cheap solution."

"Consider Enterprise support if you have atypical needs or setup requirements."

"Graylog is a free open-source solution. The free version has a capacity limitation of 2 GB daily, if you want to go above this you have to purchase a license."

"It's open source and free. They have a paid version, but we never looked into that because we never needed the features of the paid version."

"It's an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."

"If you want something that works and do not have the money for Splunk or QRadar, take Graylog."

"We're using the Community edition."

"I use the free version of Graylog."

"We are using the free version of the product. However, the paid version is expensive."
