Featured Reviews

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.
Omer Jamil - PeerSpot reviewer
An easy-to-deploy tool that needs to improve its vulnerability scanning feature
To those who plan to use the solution, I would suggest that they go through the documentation and online training models available for free, as it can help you deploy the product quickly while also being helpful in areas where there is a need to understand correlation and monitoring. I rate the overall product a seven out of ten.
