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 Exabeam SIEM has a user friendly UI interface."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"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."
"It's a very user-friendly product and it's a very comprehensive technology."
"Exabeam's UEBA displays the type of description that it could show in a console regarding one particular user, the rating that it shows, and how vulnerable the user is, which is very good."
"The solution's automation capabilities are great."
"The setup is not difficult. It was easy."
"The user interface and the timelines they use are the most valuable features, and the price model is very simple so that one can understand it easily and there are no surprises within it."
"The most valuable features are the integration and ease of use."
"Packet Solution: Allows analyst proactive hunting and alerting on daily sophisticated APTs."
"The solution is reliable."
"It's quite economical compared to other solutions in the market."
"Once it is deployed and you are used to it, you can do whatever you want."
"Incident management is its most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is that we can create our own connectors for any application, and NetWitness provides the training and tools to do it."
"Overall, this is a good solution with suitable features and it very well fits our needs."
 

Cons

"Exabeam's integration capabilities are not good, as Exabeam has a very limited number of integrations and no out-of-box integration, which is an area where Exabeam should improve."
"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."
"I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product."
"They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails."
"I tried to send an email, however, no one has replied."
"The product is good but the organization is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate."
"The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive."
"More customizability is required, which is something that they need to improve on."
"Security needs improvement. We would still like to know how the traffic is entering the organization."
"The solution is pretty complex to set up. Comparatively, I have worked on IBM QRadar and Splunk; they are much easier to set up."
"There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams."
"Health monitoring of the event sources and devices."
"I'd like to see improvement in its ease of use. It's basically unusable. It's overly complex."
"The implementation needs assistance."
"It is overly complicated. It has taken years to implement and the return on investment just isn't there."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."
"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 solution is expensive."
"They have a great model for pricing that can be based either on user count or gigabits per day."
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM's pricing is reasonable."
"Many clients are not able to purchase the packet capability because there is a huge amount of data, and the cost depends on the number of EPS (Events per second), as well as the number of gigabytes of data per day."
"We are on an annual license for the use of the solution."
"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."
"We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
"Our license is for one year."
"The tool is very expensive, so I rate the pricing a ten out of ten. The solution has an annual subscription."
"The product price was reasonable for my region and the market."
"The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."
