The SIEM provides a user-friendly UI experience
I use Exabeam for it's end-to-end detection and it's user event behavioural Analytics, i find it a useful SIEM for investigating unusual behaviour by clicking into an incident from the main dashboard. From here we can go into the details of the incident, which are shown by the individual risk…

It's more user-friendly than other solutions we tried, but it could use more features like process mining and automation
We have an application running for our e-commerce site, and we use Splunk primarily to detect anomalous behavior like false orders and other bot-related threats. Splunk helps us analyze and eliminate threats using machine learning.  Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 most valuable feature of Exabeam is the timeline creation based on log sources, which helps in security investigations."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The Exabeam SIEM has a user friendly UI interface."
"It's a very user-friendly product and it's a very comprehensive technology."
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM has a good performance and more advantages than traditional solutions."
"Exabeam has improved our organization by speeding up the investigation process."
"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."
"The most valuable features are its data aggregation and the ability to automatically identify a number of threats, then suggest recommended actions upon them."
"We are really pleased with Splunk and its features. It would be practically impossible to function without it. To provide a general overview of the system, it's important to note that the standard log files are currently around 250 gigabytes per day. It would be impossible to manually walk through these logs by hand, which is why automation is essential."
"The solution is extremely scalable. Our customers are regularly scaling up after installing Splunk."
"The product is at the forefront of auto-remediation networking. It's great."
"It's easily scalable."
"It's straightforward in terms of configuration and troubleshooting and log management and monitoring as well. These are the edge points in addition to it being a modular solution where you can capitalize on your current licenses with extra licensing models, which can match the customer's business requirement and it can help the customer to design or to actually plan for their own roadmap."
"The solution's most valuable feature is Splunk queries, which allow us to query the logs and analyze the attack vectors."
"It is a solution that helps test and measure customer satisfaction."
 

Cons

"Exabeam needs to improve its adaptive nature towards rules and its capability to understand the entire client environment faster."
"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."
"We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."
"Exabeam should be a bit faster, especially in loading and vulnerability scanning."
"One area for the solution's improvement is integration capabilities, particularly out-of-the-box integration which sometimes requires additional professional services."
"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 initial setup of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is complex because it needs to integrate with the SIEM solution, but after this is complete it is straightforward."
"It would be good if the solution had an analytics tool that allowed us to analyze the data without writing specific queries."
"The price of Splunk UBA is too high."
"There are occasional bugs."
"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."
"In the future I would like to see simplified statistics and analytical threats."
"If the price was lowered and the setup process was less complex, I would consider rating it higher."
"The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need."
"It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud."
 

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."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
"Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
"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."
"There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
"The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
"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."
