Have found automation to save analyst time but miss more accurate data classification
From our research and testing with the tool, we determined there need to be modifications and changes to train the LLM on the back end. It was able to capture data but was unable to differentiate between the agent hostname we are using and the hostname that resides on the back end of the Internet. It was unable to do that sort of classification. We concluded this tool would be more suitable for initial ticket management rather than security automation. Regarding data handling, I would give preference to Torq. For case management, Cortex and its dashboards prove more useful. Cortex and Palo's solutions do not have as much capability as Torq provides with the same tools. However, Torq's dashboards could be improved, especially on the case management side.

Machine learning features improve security insight but on-prem limitations prompt consideration of migration
We only use Exabeam for Advanced Analytics. We don't do all those other aspects like ticketing plugins. We just use it for the integration purposes, which are kind of basic. We send alerts via the dashboard for our SOC to identify risky users Exabeam includes machine learning features and…

Task persistence and integration ease have been key benefits
The best part of Swimlane is the persistent notifications and its ease of integration, requiring minimal coding. While it lacks response features, it can be integrated with messaging or queue services to achieve this. Any incident response requires additional integration since Swimlane itself doesn't react to incidents. Real-time data in terms of persistence is configurable, and without config, tasks persist indefinitely until completion. If using Appian versions below 11, integration features for Swimlane aren't available. By default, Swimlane lacks built-in intelligence, needing coding for integration. Although the Swimlane is beneficial and reduces manpower requirements, it's hindered by its lack of exposure. If exposed through services or endpoints, its functionality could be accessed without needing a local standalone application. On a scale of one to ten, this solution deserves a rating of nine.

Pros

"As an analyst, it has demonstrated potential to reduce workforce requirements and time needed for related activities."
"Timeline based analysis; good platform support"
"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."
"The advanced analytics has a really great overview of user behavior."
"The solution's automation capabilities are great."
"The most valuable feature of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is the easy-to-use user interface."
"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."
"The Exabeam SIEM has a user friendly UI interface."
"We are using it for a SOAR platform at a Cyber Security company which is MSSP."
"Our primary goal was to reduce analyst time, and we have been successful in that."
"It provides us with a single portal for our logs from different solutions."
"The technical support from Swimlane is very good."
"Swimlane enables two SOC analysts to work efficiently as much as ten analysts would without Swimlane, which translates to significant manpower savings."
"The biggest advantage of Swimlane for us is that it saves time, which in turn helps us in cost-saving."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the support."
"Swimlane is a very effective way to represent workflows involving multiple users."
 

Cons

"It was able to capture data but was unable to differentiate between the agent hostname we are using and the hostname that resides on the back end of the Internet."
"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."
"The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive."
"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."
"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 needs to improve its documentation and provide more customization for dashboards and case management."
"They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails."
"The customer service and support are not satisfactory."
"I would like to see improvements in the minor bugs that occur with each update, as some features might have issues."
"We faced a lot of issues with the product’s stability."
"The initial setup and deployment are complex."
"There is a need for enhanced version control in Swimlane. Currently, our version does not support it, making it tough to move changes between environments during significant updates."
"The stability of the solution has room for improvement."
"I would prefer to have more colors added to represent different risks or notations, which can be used for the prioritization of risks and the significance of information."
"One of the disadvantages of Swimlane is that to manage the platform, we need hardcore developers."
"Swimlane is not scalable because it is not exposed. Currently, it's a manual component that requires configuration through coding."
