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 most valuable feature of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is the easy-to-use user interface."
"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."
"It is user-friendly and quite simple to use."
"The way it can connect with AWS is very useful, and the integrations are pretty good."
"The solution's automation capabilities are great."
"ObserveIT is small, easy to use, easy to deploy, and is not complicated, so it's more generally suited for only SMBs. It's a good value with a cheaper price."
 

Cons

"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."
"They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails."
"Adding to the number of certifications that they have, for example, ISO 27001, would be helpful."
"The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive."
"We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."
"The solution's reporting and dashboarding could be improved."
"The organzation is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate"
"Exabeam should be a bit faster, especially in loading and vulnerability scanning."
"ObserveIT is not scalable and it's not for the medium to large corporations. It's for the smaller environments. For the larger corporations, we have other scalable solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Exabeam Fusion SIEM's pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"They have a great model for pricing that can be based either on user count or gigabits per day."
"The solution is expensive."
"There is an annual license required to use Exabeam Fusion SIEM. The price of the solution should be reduced."
