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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The way it can connect with AWS is very useful, and the integrations are pretty good."
"The UI was very clean."
"The advanced analytics has a really great overview of user behavior."
"The solution's automation capabilities are great."
"Timeline based analysis; good platform support"
"Exabeam is very easy to use, with a straightforward platform and workflow, unlike other tools that require more expertise."
"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."
More Exabeam pros
"The tool's effectiveness depends on how you define your log sources. To build visibility of incoming and outgoing traffic, you need logs from perimeter defense, firewalls, web application firewalls, and endpoint protection. With good traffic visibility, incident response time is really quick."
"We are now able to completely monitor our environment so we can review what is there, which is a big win for us."
"The most valuable features of McAfee ESM are intrusion detection, malware protection, and the device controller."
"It is easy to use."
"It has performed well and delivered the results that I have been looking for."
"The solution's technical support is great."
"The most valuable feature in ESM is its search and reporting feature. It's really nice."
"It enables us to detect malicious threats, issues, or vulnerabilities in our network."
More Trellix ESM pros
 

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."
"We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."
"Exabeam lacks customizable dashboards, which might be a limitation if visualization is a key requirement."
"Updating the new release of Exabeam Fusion SIEM takes time and slows our performance."
"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."
"One area for the solution's improvement is integration capabilities, particularly out-of-the-box integration which sometimes requires additional professional services."
"The solution's reporting and dashboarding could be improved."
"Adding to the number of certifications that they have, for example, ISO 27001, would be helpful."
More Exabeam cons
"I would like to see improvements to the user interface."
"I have to purchase a new box now. Its existing box is not scalable and I can't use it anymore."
"The only drawback is that they don't have any packet capturing or network behavior analysis."
"Product-wise, adding accounts on a single data source by batch would be a really great help."
"We acquired the IBM product because McAfee is slightly confusing to use, and it's broader."
"The initial setup is difficult and could improve."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly."
"It is more difficult to operate Trellix ESM than other solutions."
More Trellix ESM cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"They have a great model for pricing that can be based either on user count or gigabits per day."
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM's pricing is reasonable."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing is fair."
"It is an inexpensive product. We purchase its yearly license."
"The licensing cost is based on EPS."
"Regarding pricing, Trellix ESM is not that expensive. It's less than half the cost of IBM QRadar."
"We renew our license annually."
"The price is good. It's moderate. We follow a pay-as-you-go model. There are different models available, and they can also be monthly. You can choose monthly or yearly. It's very flexible. If our existing customers exceed the current plan, you can just call McAfee and get it extended."
"The price of McAfee ESM is higher than some of the other solutions. There are additional features that can be added at an additional fee."
"McAfee is the right choice for a low-budget solution."
