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.

"The most valuable aspect of working with ServiceNow is its meaningful and feature-rich product."
"It has helped optimize security costs by consolidating multiple tools into one platform."
"The "follow" feature is really good. If the user is not responding, there's an option to "follow". Just click on the button, and it will automatically trigger an email to the end user."

"It's stable."
"The solution is stable."
 

Cons

"The solution's reporting and dashboarding could be improved."

"Exabeam's reporting dashboard could have included a filtering option to filter by the most recent detection."
"I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product."
"We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."
"Exabeam needs to improve its documentation and provide more customization for dashboards and case management."
"They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails."

"Customer awareness and understanding of ServiceNow's SecOps capabilities could be improved."
"It doesn't interact with things very well."
"The product is called SecOps, but it is not security operations in terms of SIEM solutions."
"We'd like customization to be easier in terms of the UI and using the dashboards."
"There is room for improvement in terms of developer support and documentation."
"One area for improvement for the product is the need to tailor and alter some codes for customization, which can cause issues during upgrades. It does not support customized operations."
"It's very slow. When you click a button or update a field, it takes forever to actually react."
