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.

A solid SIEM solution that should improve technical support and online resources to be easier to use
A big problem with the product is that we don't have much professional experience in Israel installing, implementing, and integrating this product. There is not enough of a knowledge base. There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams. We like to work locally because of the language, and when the product is only supported outside the country, it's a little difficult to implement and use this product. Moreover, AI is something that must be added immediately. Artificial intelligence is a part of the competitors' products, and it's not been implemented for us.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Exabeam is the timeline creation based on log sources, which helps in security investigations."
"We evaluated LogRhythm and Splunk as possible options but in the end, we went with Exabeam - it was the right choice for us taking into account the needs of our customers and projected future needs."
"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."
"The UI was very clean."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"Exabeam is very easy to use, with a straightforward platform and workflow, unlike other tools that require more expertise."
"The Exabeam SIEM has a user friendly UI interface."
"Timeline based analysis; good platform support"
"It gives the capability for the incident response team to correlate logs to identify any kind of problem like malware and incidents in a general sense, both for logs and packets."
"Integration is exceedingly minimal, since its project development is much easier than that of LogRythm or IBM."
"It gives the ability to investigate into network traffic in the Net and the organization what we couldn't do before."
"The product has a user-friendly interface and a valuable feature for threat intelligence integration."
"Prior to implementing the solution, the customers had no visibility of their assets, however, after adopting the solution, they have gained complete visibility over all their assets, including a comprehensive understanding of the network and attack symptoms."
"It's fully scalable. There is no limit. Of course, the license limits per day the number of terabytes. In my opinion, it's very flexible."
"Overall, it is easy to implement."
"Alerting Module: It provides real-time event processing language on all the logs/packets stream for advanced alerting, i.e., using SQL LIKE statements."
 

Cons

"We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."
"We use the on-prem Exabeam product and face limitations using the web UI and administration of custom models and rules."
"Exabeam lacks customizable dashboards, which might be a limitation if visualization is a key requirement."
"Exabeam's reporting dashboard could have included a filtering option to filter by the most recent detection."
"I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product."
"Adding to the number of certifications that they have, for example, ISO 27001, would be helpful. Currently, they only have SOC 2."
"I tried to send an email, however, no one has replied."
"There is a lack of Indonesian support, it would benefit us to have more support for the customers."
"One thing to be improved in NetWitness is the capability to correlate event logs in a general sense."
"The initial setup is complex. There are other solutions that are easier to implement."
"I cannot say that the solution was stable because it tended to crash."
"Security needs improvement."
"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets can improve the threat level aspect, it is lacking compared to other solutions."
"I am not happy with the RSA support. Sometimes they can be really annoying because it takes so long to get the support that you need."
"The initial setup is complex. It requires some knowledge in order to set it up."
"Log aggregation is an issue with this solution because there are a huge number of alerts in a single instance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Exabeam Fusion SIEM's pricing is reasonable."
"There is an annual license required to use Exabeam Fusion SIEM. The price of the solution should be reduced."
"Exabeam is not a cheap solution."
"They have a great model for pricing that can be based either on user count or gigabits per day."
"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."
"The solution is expensive."
"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."
"In comparison to other SIEM solutions such as Splunk, NetWitness is less costly."
"The NetWitness Platform may be affordable only for enterprise-level customers, as it may not be within the budget of small and medium-sized businesses."
"The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."
"The product is expensive."
"This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
"We are on an annual license for the use of the solution."
"We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
