Machine learning features improve security insight but on-prem limitations prompt consideration of migration
We only use Exabeam for Advanced Analytics. We don't do all those other aspects like ticketing plugins. We just use it for the integration purposes, which are kind of basic. We send alerts via the dashboard for our SOC to identify risky users Exabeam includes machine learning features and…

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

"It's a very user-friendly product and it's a very comprehensive technology."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The solution's automation capabilities are great."
"The most valuable feature of Exabeam is the timeline creation based on log sources, which helps in security investigations."
"The most valuable feature of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is the easy-to-use user interface."
"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."
"Exabeam has improved our organization by speeding up the investigation process."
"The user interface and the timelines they use are the most valuable features. The price model is very simple so that one can understand it easily and there are no surprises within it."
"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. I also liked the ability to create dynamic rules in the environment."
"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."
 

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."
"We use the on-prem Exabeam product and face limitations using the web UI and administration of custom models and rules."
"The customer service and support are not satisfactory."
"The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive."
"One area for the solution's improvement is integration capabilities, particularly out-of-the-box integration which sometimes requires additional professional services."
"They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails."
"I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product."
"Regarding the prioritization of threats, Gurucul UEBA needs to enhance its alert severity assignment process within the system."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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