Featured Reviews

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.
Ansar Monideen - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides almost all the SIEM features offered by the leaders at a low cost
Gurucul's data enrichment could be improved. As a security professional, I want to consolidate all these log sources and data to the user, entity, or resource. More advancements are required, especially in enriching security data or attack response. I would like to see more improvements there. The documentation could also be better. Every user and resource has a timeline that lists all the events so we can analyze that particular system and what is happening. We would like to have an option where we can only list the confirmed security threat-related activities for a particular user rather than all activities. This way, we can see what kind of risk is reported for this user and be able to monitor them better.
