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.
Hamada-Elewa - PeerSpot reviewer
Decreases the false positives but storage model complexity hampers efficiency
I recommend it to my customers, but I'm a salesman. I am not implementing it myself It decreases the false positives, so it will decrease the time consumed by the operation team to work on Splunk. The most effective one is the integration with other vendors. This is the most attractive one.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Exabeam has improved our organization by speeding up the investigation process."
"The advanced analytics has a really great overview of user behavior."
"It is user-friendly and quite simple to use."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Exabeam is the timeline creation based on log sources, which helps in security investigations."
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM has a good performance and more advantages than traditional solutions."
"The way it can connect with AWS is very useful, and the integrations are pretty good."
"The solution is fast, flexible, and easy to use."
"The solution's most valuable feature is Splunk queries, which allow us to query the logs and analyze the attack vectors."
"Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried."
"The solution is definitely scalable."
"The product is at the forefront of auto-remediation networking. It's great."
"The most valuable feature is being able to take data and put it into other systems so that we could see the output, and to see where we need to apply our focus."
"It's easily scalable."
"The most effective one is the integration with other vendors."
 

Cons

"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 should be a bit faster, especially in loading and vulnerability scanning."
"I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product."
"The customer service and support are not satisfactory."
"We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."
"Exabeam lacks customizable dashboards, which might be a limitation if visualization is a key requirement."
"Exabeam needs to improve its documentation and provide more customization for dashboards and case management."
"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."
"It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud."
"We want to have an automated system for bot hunting that enables us to detect anomalies predictively based on historical data. It would be helpful if Splunk included process mining as an alternative option. We have a threat workflow, but it would be useful if we could supplement that with some process mining capabilities over time."
"We'd like the ability to do custom searches."
"The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization."
"Enhancing the storage model that they are using is necessary."
"I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions."
"Currently, a lot of network operations need improvement. We still need people to handle incidents. Our vision is to leverage status and convert it directly from the network devices. It would be ideal if we could take action using APIs and API code and remove manual processes."
"It would be good if the solution had an analytics tool that allowed us to analyze the data without writing specific queries."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Exabeam Fusion SIEM's pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"My biggest complaint is the way they do pricing... You can never know the pricing for next year. Every single time you adjust to something new, the price goes up. It's impossible to truly budget for it. It goes up constantly."
"I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
"The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
"Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
"There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
"I hope we can increase the free license to be more than 5 gig a day. This would help people who want to introduce a POC or a demo license for the solution."
