An easy-to-use solution, but its data lake features could be simple to understand
We use the solution to investigate incidents and create rules for use cases The solution provides an easy-to-use platform to create rules for use cases. The solution's data lake features could be easier to understand for end users. They should also provide detailed information about detecting…

Easy to deploy, scalable, and helps in prioritizing the risks with risk scoring
A big vulnerability was discovered last year for jshell. We got a lot of questions from our customers about which services are vulnerable. We could give an answer in just a few minutes to the customers and also warn them The risk score that they provide makes it easier to find out the biggest…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The most valuable feature of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is the easy-to-use user interface."
"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."
"The way it can connect with AWS is very useful, and the integrations are pretty good."
"The setup is not difficult. It was easy."
"It's a very user-friendly product and it's a very comprehensive technology."
"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."
"Timeline based analysis; good platform support"
"The risk score that they provide makes it easier to find out the biggest risks. It helped the security officers to understand where the biggest risks are so that they can act on them. They can instruct their IT teams to give them a higher priority and mitigate them."
"There are many integrations with things like the VMware NSX that are great, the reporting is really solid."
"The solution is automatically scheduled so it runs by itself."
"The discovery and prioritization of vulnerabilities."
"The solution works well."
"The remediation project is a pretty effective because it allows us, as clients or countries, to choose specific assets and set limitations on them for a certain period which allows us to track and follow up on those limitations. However, when it comes to real-time monitoring and live dashboards, InsightVM doesn't quite fit the bill. It's not a real-time solution and is not instant."
"When you connect any new device to the network, Rapid7 has the ability to detect the new device immediately. It can scan that device to detect if it has any vulnerability. It tells you what is vulnerable and what has been misconfigured. It also tells you what is the risk of that misconfiguration or lack of patches and how to resolve the problem."
"The most important aspect of the solution is that it rarely gives false positives, especially compared to other products. It provides very clear reports for our IT teams to look at."
 

Cons

"We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."
"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."
"Updating the new release of Exabeam Fusion SIEM takes time and slows our performance."
"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."
"The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive."
"Adding to the number of certifications that they have, for example, ISO 27001, would be helpful."
"I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product."
"The reporting could be better."
"The InsightVM cannot scan if we connect to our customer by the VPN."
"The reporting has room for improvement. You cannot customize any report. If I need a specific requirement, I have to create a new report for it."
"Rapid7 InsightVM could be easier to use for those who are using it for the first time."
"Some of our customers want to be completely cloud based, and Rapid7 doesn't offer this as an option."
"The reporting is very bad when you compare it with other vulnerability assessment tools."
"I would like to see more integration."
"I would say that it improved our visibility, but it left things open."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM's pricing is reasonable."
"This solution is expensive, but it's fine for us as we have an open budget for security solutions. Protection and having the system secured is more important."
"Pricing is reasonable because we pay according to asset usage. We can define our assets and sites according to our preference."
"Our licensing costs are somewhere around $40,000 annually. There are no additional fees."
"Its pricing depends on the number of users per month."
"Its licensing is yearly. Everything is included in the price for one year."
"The price of the solution is less than the competitors."
"We purchase annual licenses."
"The solution's pricing is better than Nexus which charges a high amount for very little use."
