An easy-to-use solution, but its data lake features could be simple to understand
We use the solution to investigate incidents and create rules for use cases The solution provides an easy-to-use platform to create rules for use cases. The solution's data lake features could be easier to understand for end users. They should also provide detailed information about detecting…

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."
"The advanced analytics has a really great overview of user behavior."
"The way it can connect with AWS is very useful, and the integrations are pretty good."
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM has a good performance and more advantages than traditional solutions."
"The setup is not difficult. It was easy."
"The most valuable feature of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is the easy-to-use user interface."
"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 solution's initial setup process is easy."
"It is a good central viewpoint for issues. These can then be investigated in more detail on the subnet server(s)/endpoints."
"The support I have received from the vendor has been great."
"It enables us to detect malicious threats, issues, or vulnerabilities in our network."
"It can be easily deployed with the other solutions."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to correlate different events from different platforms that we feed into it."
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. Over the years I have always been using this solution and have become comfortable with it."
"This solution integrates easily and very well with other technologies."
"We are now able to completely monitor our environment so we can review what is there, which is a big win for us."
 

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."
"The organzation is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate"
"Adding to the number of certifications that they have, for example, ISO 27001, would be helpful."
"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."
"Updating the new release of Exabeam Fusion SIEM takes time and slows our performance."
"I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product."
"We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."
"The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive."
"We acquired the IBM product because McAfee is slightly confusing to use, and it's broader."
"Tech support is required each time there is a system update of the solution."
"The only issue I have with McAfee is the amount of computer resources that it takes... it's definitely impacting some of the other applications that are running on a computer at the same time."
"I would like to see improvements to the user interface."
"It seems McAfee does test its product before releasing. When we - not only us, other companies also - deploy McAfee, we face multiple issues from the customer side, after which, McAfee reacts and fixes the bugs."
"The product’s alert response feature needs improvement. It could be more flexible and secure."
"The only drawback is that they don't have any packet capturing or network behavior analysis."
"Customized reports and alerting functionality could be included in the dashboard."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"There is an annual license required to use Exabeam Fusion SIEM. The price of the solution should be reduced."
"The product is slightly expensive."
"McAfee is the right choice for a low-budget solution."
"The pricing is good, and they are competitive compared to providers such as RSA and IBM QRadar."
"When compared to IBM Security QRadar and other similar platforms, the pricing of McAfee ESM is reasonable and comparatively less expensive."
"You should buy the distributed option instead of the all-in-one for environments with more than 1000 end points."
"We renew our license annually."
"The cost is dependent on the customer's environment and requirements."
"The licensing cost is based on EPS."
