Featured Reviews

Enterprise Account Manager South at a outsourcing company with 201-500 employees
Advanced analytics have transformed our threat detection and streamlined incident investigations
I would appreciate seeing additional dashboards in Exabeam Fusion SIEM or perhaps more options or the ability to customize them further. While we can customize them currently, there may be additional options available. I value the outcomes navigator because it matches the log piece to the use cases, which is helpful. The correlation rules are excellent. I am interested in whether there are additional threat intelligence feeds available that we could use, whether we can integrate our own, or if we could ingest different ones.

Security Specialist - UEBA SIEM Admin at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Smooth and fast search capabilities with customizable dashboards enhance user experience
For improvement, I have requested three enhancement tickets, which are already lodged with the Gurucul support team. The first request is to add a visualization option in reports for charts or graphs. I have also requested new dashboard features. In the query box, there's a bug where taking an attribute at the end does not return data, but placing it elsewhere does. The support system could be more equipped.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Timeline based analysis; good platform support"
"Exabeam includes machine learning features and out-of-the-box rules that we rely on."
"The advanced analytics has a really great overview of user behavior."
"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."
"The solution's initial setup process is 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."
"Exabeam has improved our organization by speeding up the investigation process."
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM has a good performance and more advantages than traditional solutions."
"I appreciate the comprehensive categorization of devices based on their intended use, such as those for DNS."
"If you are genuinely looking for a UEBA solution, you should choose Gurucul confidently if your need is strictly UEBA."
"The reporting feature was the key differentiator, and I also liked the ability to create dynamic rules in the environment."
"The most valuable feature of Gurucul is the ability to customize and it is on the Hadoop platform that has a lot of flexibility."
 

Cons

"The product is good but the organization is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate."
"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."
"Exabeam lacks customizable dashboards, which might be a limitation if visualization is a key requirement."
"Exabeam needs to improve its adaptive nature towards rules and its capability to understand the entire client environment faster."
"I tried to send an email, however, no one has replied."
"They need to focus on more of the MITRE ATT&CK Framework and coverage. They claim they cover about 70 to 80%. I'm not sure if it's really quite that much, however."
"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."
"It could be more stable."
"Regarding the prioritization of threats, Gurucul UEBA needs to enhance its alert severity assignment process within the system."
"The support could improve. I would rate the support from Gurucul a two out of five."
"Technical support is good but can improve. I would rate it six to seven out of ten. The main issue is response time, which can take three to four hours even for simple queries."
"Gurucul can improve on the online documentation. They should educate the end users more to allow them to do everything themselves."
"It could be more stable. Sometimes when working in multiple customer environments, there were some issues with features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"Exabeam is not a cheap solution."
"There is an annual license required to use Exabeam Fusion SIEM. The price of the solution should be reduced."
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM's pricing is reasonable."
"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."
"They have a great model for pricing that can be based either on user count or gigabits per day."
"The price of Gurucul is competitive."
"The price is fair. In fact, I believe it was on the cheaper side when compared to the competition."
