Advanced analytics has a great overview of user behavior
Our company doesn't have a huge infrastructure behind the product at the moment, so it's difficult for me to comment about scalability, but I have seen customer references that state it scales really nicely. They are now working on the last big infrastructure and I know that inherently it scales well. The product is mostly for software security use cases, but in our company, only a handful of people use the product, perhaps three or four. In terms of our customers, I would estimate there to be between 10 and 15 users. It would mainly be infrastructure admin and security analysts using the solution.

Helps with productivity, reduces administrative overhead, and offers useful dashboards
Our previous SIEM did not have dashboards, so there wasn't a starting point. With our previous SIEM, we had to have a specific thing we were looking for, and only then we could find it. The dashboards in the LogRhythm SIEM really help us as a starting point. It gives us a starting point we can go to every day. We walk through several dashboards to see anomalous activity for further investigation. The dashboards, therefore, are our favorite feature of the SIEM. The solution helped with productivity and the ability to process logs. We do Event Log Filtering for certain log types, which we don't want in our SIEM as they're just too noisy. Having too much noise in the SIEM makes it harder to find relevant things. Therefore, we use Log Filtering to limit the noise. It's also given us the ability to bring more logs in, so we bring them all from all of our workstations and servers. Doing the log filtering this way allowed us to bring in other log sources and keep the noise manageable. It's helped reduce our administrative overhead. Before we started doing the log filtering, we exceeded our license capacity for what we were licensed in terms of logs in our SIEM. The filtering allowed us to bring the noise down and helped us with the removal of junk logs that are not useful. We have a lot of firewalls, and anytime you're traversing internally inside of the firewall, it generates a lot of traffic. That kind of traffic is the type of traffic we took out, allowing us to bring our workstation traffic logs in to give us a better view of our environment. It's very big for us that the solution is out-of-the-box. To have the solution be turnkey was significant as it enabled us to ramp up and get the logs onboarded immediately. There wasn't a lot of configuration to get to a point where we could bring logs in. It was essentially turnkey.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The setup is not difficult. It was 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 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."
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM has a good performance and more advantages than traditional solutions."
"It's a very user-friendly product and it's a very comprehensive technology."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"Timeline based analysis; good platform support"
"The advanced analytics has a really great overview of user behavior."
"It's positively affected our overall rate of efficiency."
"NextGen SIEM's best feature is how it presents logs."
"The artificial intelligence engine."
"AXON has the ability to add and compare use cases."
"It's very easy to create the correlation rules with LogRhythm, and there are some advanced features like SIEM and UEBA, which are also very valuable."
"The most valuable feature is that we can alternate incident automations."
"The daily alerts allow me to quickly find security and operations issues which need to be addressed."
"Even other products we have that feed into it, instead of having to watch all of them we only have to watch one. For example, we have CrowdStrike, so instead of having to pay attention that solution - because their dashboard doesn't really pop when an alarm comes up - we can see issues with the red on the LogRhythm alarm. That is very nice."
 

Cons

"Updating the new release of Exabeam Fusion SIEM takes time and slows our performance."
"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."
"The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive."
"The initial setup of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is complex because it needs to integrate with the SIEM solution, but after this is complete it is straightforward."
"They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails."
"The organzation is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate"
"I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product."
"We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."
"The user interface needs improvement. The more the user can slide around and know what's going on, the better it will be."
"I think they probably need to, because a lot of companies are having this cloud-first strategy, where anything that's new has to go into the cloud for some reason."
"Stability has probably been one area where Health Checks have not been great with the product. We have been told that they are going to improve Health Checks on product, though we do struggle with them on a daily basis."
"The console installation is an area with a shortcoming in the solution that needs improvement. If LogRhythm SIEM can offer a web console, it would be great."
"I would like it to do a lot of the automation (which I still need to learn more about), because I am essentially a one man shop doing all the jobs. I'd like for it to be able to do more for me."
"It should be improved for automated setup and auto-configuration. There should be ease of integration and ease of setup."
"We have run into problems with stability going through upgrade processes. Recently, we have been on the front edge of the upgrade path. When that happens we tend to run into issues either with certain functionality not working after the upgrades or stability issues because of the upgrades."
"The customer support system is time-consuming."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM's pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is very reasonable and accessible compared to other products in the market but I am not very sure about the exact licensing cost per year for our company."
"The solution has provided us with consistency and increased staff productivity through orchestrated automated work flows by at least 20 percent."
"I would recommend that whatever sales quotes to them upfront, they will probably go up. Because they are probably going to outgrow that very quickly or once they start getting everything into it, they are going to have to move up anyway."
"The nice thing about LogRhythm is you can either use the agents, getting a certain number of agents with your license depending on how you want to go, and those agents do a lot of cool things, or you can use CIS Log host, then you have like an unlimited number of them."
"We did a five-year agreement. We pay close to a quarter of a million dollars for our solution."
"The setup and licensing for small and medium size businesses is straightforward, though when it comes to the enterprise it pays to keep in mind the possibility for complications given all the extras and add-ons that may be required."
"I would recommend talking to the rep. That's the biggest thing because they will know what questions to ask."
"The product is inexpensive than other tools."
