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.

Helps prevent email attacks, like phishing and email spoofing attacks
We use Trellix Helix for protection against network attacks, TLS, and SSL attacks. We also use the solution for user behaviour accesses Trellix Helix helps prevent email attacks, like phishing and email spoofing attacks. Trellix Helix's configuration and learning could be improved to identify…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Exabeam is very easy to use, with a straightforward platform and workflow, unlike other tools that require more expertise."
"It is user-friendly and quite simple to use."
"The most valuable feature of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is the easy-to-use user interface."
"The UI was very clean."
"Timeline based analysis; good platform support"
"Exabeam has improved our organization by speeding up the investigation process."
"The advanced analytics has a really great overview of user behavior."
"It's a very user-friendly product and it's a very comprehensive technology."
"We are able to block some advanced malware and other things."
"We have started working with various customers, one of whom is particularly concerned about adjacency. We have identified several use cases where automation is possible."
"As far as its core functionality goes, it’s spot-on."
"The most valuable features include predefined use cases and threatening states."
"The product offers very strong automation. Our cyber security analysts don't have to correlate the information to detect problems. They only need to analyze problems that have been identified by the platform."
"I like that it's easy. It's got the protection set up, and we can see whatever is required. We write our own rules and the rules that we can input. I think it is good."
"FireEye Helix's best features are its speed and use of an easy-to-understand language to send queries to the raw logs."
"Trellix Helix helps prevent email attacks, like phishing and email spoofing attacks."
 

Cons

"The organzation is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate"
"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."
"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."
"One area for the solution's improvement is integration capabilities, particularly out-of-the-box integration which sometimes requires additional professional services."
"We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."
"Exabeam should be a bit faster, especially in loading and vulnerability scanning."
"One area that needs improvement is interacting with Exabeam's API. There was a headache regarding the API; the documentation wasn't clear, and the syntax wasn't very precise."
"Trellix Helix's configuration and learning could be improved to identify normal traffic from abnormal and to identify trusted domains."
"There is room for improvement in the integration capabilities of third-party tools."
"The graphical user interface could be improved. It's not easy to handle and it's not easy for a customer or end-user to learn how to manage the solution."
"It should have more cloud connectors. It could also be cheaper."
"Sometimes the rules are disabled by FireEye, and we basically get it after the patch. I think there needs to be a better way of creating the application rules. I would like to see better pricing for our licensing."
"Trellix needs to address the price for the product to be more appealing to customers."
"Integrations could be improved, and the dashboard could be a little better."
"FireEye Helix would be improved with the option of an on-prem version, which they don't currently offer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Exabeam is not a cheap solution."
"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 platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."
"The solution is expensive."
"It could be cheaper, but that applies to every product."
"The price could be better. But I think it's rightly placed when we buy everything in one shot, and we get some discount for that. That's how we basically plan our deployment, and it's holistic. We pay for the license yearly."
"I rate Trellix Helix a five out of ten for pricing."
"FireEye Helix is a little expensive."
