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

"Exabeam is very easy to use, with a straightforward platform and workflow, unlike other tools that require more expertise."
"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."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The most valuable feature of Exabeam is the timeline creation based on log sources, which helps in security investigations."
"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."
"Timeline based analysis; good platform support"
"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

"Exabeam lacks customizable dashboards, which might be a limitation if visualization is a key requirement."
"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."
"We had a large volume right from the beginning and they weren't quite prepared for that. That's something that they should think about when it comes to customers that have a large volume to start off with."
"Exabeam's reporting dashboard could have included a filtering option to filter by the most recent detection."
"Updating the new release of Exabeam Fusion SIEM takes time and slows our performance."
"Exabeam needs to improve its documentation and provide more customization for dashboards and case management."
"The organzation is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate"
"The customer service and support are not satisfactory."
"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."
"When compared to others, if you look at the integration aspect, I believe that some aspects of integration can be enhanced."
"The area that needs improvement is reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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.
