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.

Inbuilt detection algorithms, attentive technical support, and reasonably priced
In terms of scalability, we tested 180,000 events per second with no problems. It is not calculated based on the number of users. In terms of scalability, we calculate security platforms based on events per second. It can be one of the factors, but it is not the determining factor for scalability. Scalability is determined by the number of events that can be processed per second. When looking at enterprise users who are connected to the SOC. An organization can have 100,000 employees, contractors, or staff, but that is not how the same solutions are allocated. In that organization, based on assets, end users, endpoint network devices, and so on and so forth, the result will be events per second. In terms of the same tool usage, the same tool or Securonix tool will be used only by the number of SOC analysts who are monitoring the entire environment. Nobody else uses it. The data for all employees and staff in that organization is consolidated. That is one way of looking at it, and it is not proportional. The number of employees and security events per second is not a direct correlation factor. We are an MSSP. We use it based on the needs of our customers. We are not using it for our own internal purposes. Based on our customer's requirements we deploy it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Timeline based analysis; good platform support"
"The most valuable feature of Exabeam is the timeline creation based on log sources, which helps in security investigations."
"The setup is not difficult. It was easy."
"The way it can connect with AWS is very useful, and the integrations are pretty good."
"The solution's automation capabilities are great."
"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."
"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 feature dashboard is very well organized and intuitive to use. It organizes information on a timeline which is exactly what we need for insider threat future-analysis."
"Their user and entity behavior analysis algorithms are the most valuable features."
"One of the most valuable features is UEBA. It's pretty helpful for us to make sure of our thresholds for any of our clients."
 

Cons

"One area for the solution's improvement is integration capabilities, particularly out-of-the-box integration which sometimes requires additional professional services."
"I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product."
"Updating the new release of Exabeam Fusion SIEM takes time and slows our performance."
"The solution's reporting and dashboarding could be improved."
"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."
"They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails."
"Exabeam lacks customizable dashboards, which might be a limitation if visualization is a key requirement."
"When compared to others, if you look at the integration aspect, I believe that some aspects of integration can be enhanced."
"There is room for improvement in the algorithms. Although I said that we have a very solid starting point - our existing library is already very comprehensive - we constantly find areas where we need to develop new algorithms. That is common across platforms. Any vendor with a solid starting point would still need to continue to evolve."
"The area that needs improvement is reporting."
 

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."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM's pricing is reasonable."
"They have a great model for pricing that can be based either on user count or gigabits per day."
"When compared to other solutions, it is less expensive."
"Their pricing is pretty comfortable. They will work with you on the cost."

It mostly depends on your use-cases and environment. Exabeam and Securonix have a stronger UEBA feature set, friendlier GUI and are not licensed based on capacity (amount of logs and information ingested) but with a firm on 10k+ I wouldn't be so sure that this means a better price. The total cost of ownership would be more linear though. On the other hand QRadar is by far a better SIEM solution...

The total cost of ownership would be more linear though. On the other hand QRadar is by far a better SIEM solution and if your use-cases lean towards that, then I would suggest looking towards Qradar. Qradar does have a steeper learning curve but that's purely because of the richer feature set, it just takes more time to take it all in.

All three security solutions are defined and different smartness they hold it all depends on how is your requirement. Securonix UEBA is a Hadoop bases UEBA technology tool the tools understand the infrastructure and users and then work accordingly. (Wide Customer industry support) (Average cost) IBM QRadar is a SIEM with all in the composite tool can bring in UEBA and other security solution. (Wide Customer industry support) (Average cost) Exabeam is a mathematical bases security solutioning tool, it learns infra and then provides a solution, it's a bit noisy in some instances. (Medium Customer industry support) (Costly) If you tell us what exactly you require or how id your infra set up, then it would good to suggest a tool.
