Room For Improvement

Exabeam needs flexibility, faster responses, better UI, documentation, integrations, cloud support, reporting, deployment, and more certifications.
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM struggles with complexity, limited customization, and integration issues, impacting usability and customer satisfaction.
Exabeam needs to improve its documentation and provide more customization for dashboards and case management.
The passing and setup are quite complex at the beginning, making onboarding not smooth.
When dealing with a large amount of data, such as when firewall logs increase, queries sometimes crash or get stuck.
SIEM could have better integration with other technologies.

The pricing has similar ingestion charges compared to other solutions, such as Splunk.

Featured Reviews

Stephen-Armstrong - PeerSpot reviewer
The SIEM provides a user-friendly UI experience
When events come into the system, the dashboard categorizes them by the highest risk score, not when they appear on the system. When you've got multiple ongoing incidents you can only see the highest risk score at the top of the list rather than the most recent detection. Exabeam's reporting dashboard could have included a filtering option to filter by the most recent detection.
Ibrahim Albalawi - PeerSpot reviewer
Less false positives, good detection and integration capabilities, and good pricing
The incident response area should be improved. It is more difficult than other products, but overall, it is good. The platform has a lot of options and functionality. So, you need to check almost everything. For new engineers or people who don’t have much experience with this kind of platform, it is a bit difficult, but for experienced engineers, it is not that difficult. When you have been doing a lot of work for about one or two hours, and you have a lot of tabs open, it slows down or gets stuck. There is a delay of 10 to 15 seconds in opening tabs or dashboards. I don't know why this happens, but for me, it is not a big issue. I just wait, and that's all.
