The SIEM provides a user-friendly UI experience
I use Exabeam for it's end-to-end detection and it's user event behavioural Analytics, i find it a useful SIEM for investigating unusual behaviour by clicking into an incident from the main dashboard. From here we can go into the details of the incident, which are shown by the individual risk…

Helped reduce our operational costs and increase our efficiency, but it can be more user-friendly
Regarding the prioritization of threats, Gurucul UEBA needs to enhance its alert severity assignment process within the system. This is one area where Gurucul UEBA could improve. Additionally, it would be beneficial if the tool itself could provide or assign user-based or asset-based CI ratings to allow for a more accurate assessment of alert severity. In our environment, we forward these logs, events, and alerts to SIM, where the CI rating is already present. Therefore, if we need to closely investigate a UEBA case directly, it becomes problematic. Gurucul UEBA should proactively incorporate asset-based or user-based CI severity into its design. Gurucul UEBA needs to be more user-friendly. I would like Gurucul UEBA to be able to integrate with legacy-based identity systems and systems that are performing network-based access control. This would require additional integration and playbook models.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The way it can connect with AWS is very useful, and the integrations are pretty good."
"Exabeam is very easy to use, with a straightforward platform and workflow, unlike other tools that require more expertise."
"The solution's automation capabilities are great."
"The setup is not difficult. It was easy."
"It is user-friendly and quite simple to use."
"Timeline based analysis; good platform support"
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM has a good performance and more advantages than traditional solutions."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"I appreciate the comprehensive categorization of devices based on their intended use, such as those for DNS."
"The most valuable feature of Gurucul is the ability to customize and it is on the Hadoop platform that has a lot of flexibility."
"The reporting feature was the key differentiator. I also liked the ability to create dynamic rules in the environment."
 

Cons

"Exabeam lacks customizable dashboards, which might be a limitation if visualization is a key requirement."
"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."
"Exabeam needs to improve its adaptive nature towards rules and its capability to understand the entire client environment faster."
"One area for the solution's improvement is integration capabilities, particularly out-of-the-box integration which sometimes requires additional professional services."
"The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive."
"Adding to the number of certifications that they have, for example, ISO 27001, would be helpful."
"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."
"Updating the new release of Exabeam Fusion SIEM takes time and slows our performance."
"Regarding the prioritization of threats, Gurucul UEBA needs to enhance its alert severity assignment process within the system."
"It could be more stable."
"Gurucul can improve on the online documentation. They should educate the end users more to allow them to do everything themselves."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution is expensive."
"They have a great model for pricing that can be based either on user count or gigabits per day."
"Exabeam is not a cheap solution."
"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."
"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."
