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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Exabeam is very easy to use, with a straightforward platform and workflow, unlike other tools that require more expertise."
"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."
"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."
"Exabeam includes machine learning features and out-of-the-box rules that we rely on."
"The solution's automation capabilities are great."
"The most valuable feature of Exabeam is the timeline creation based on log sources, which helps in security investigations."
"The Exabeam SIEM has a user friendly UI interface."
"The advanced analytics has a really great overview of user behavior."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Securonix UEBA include insider threat monitoring, which provides complete visibility of user activities, and next-gen AI-based behavior analytics."
"The most valuable features of Securonix UEBA include insider threat monitoring, which provides complete visibility of user activities, and next-gen AI-based behavior analytics."
"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 that needs improvement is interacting with Exabeam's API. There was a headache regarding the API; the documentation wasn't clear, and the syntax wasn't very precise."
"The organzation is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate"
"Exabeam's reporting dashboard could have included a filtering option to filter by the most recent detection."
"Exabeam needs to improve its adaptive nature towards rules and its capability to understand the entire client environment faster."
"The solution's reporting and dashboarding could be improved."
"Exabeam needs to improve its documentation and provide more customization for dashboards and case management."
"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 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 support system is not very good as of now."
"The area that needs improvement is reporting."
"The integration with other tools, like EDRs and other technology tools, can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license required to use Exabeam Fusion SIEM. The price of the solution should be reduced."
"Exabeam is not a cheap solution."
"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."
"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."
"When compared to other solutions, it is less expensive."
"Their pricing is pretty comfortable. They will work with you on the cost."
"The cost is approximately $50 per user per year."

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.
