Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
7.4
Exabeam Fusion SIEM offers financial institutions cost savings, enhanced security, and strong ROI, though specific pricing is unknown.
Sentiment score
8.9
Vulcan Cyber significantly reduces time and resource usage, enabling quicker task completion and faster inter-team notifications.
Exabeam offers more machine learning models that detect anomalies.
With our vulnerability management platform, I used to get reports weekly, but with Vulcan Cyber, I get them daily.
Our security team probably spends 15 minutes instead of two hours daily notifying the teams.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.3
Exabeam's customer service garners mixed reviews, with varied responses on responsiveness, efficiency, and support quality across regions.
Sentiment score
6.5
Vulcan Cyber offers responsive support with good communication, but faces challenges in latency, integration delays, and feature request visibility.
Even with TAM support from Exabeam, many issues go unresolved.
We do not necessarily have visibility of when those feature requests are going into the development pipeline.
It would enhance my experience if Vulcan informed customers of forthcoming maintenance or changes that might cause website downtime.
Their technical support team is very good, knowledgeable, and helpful.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
Exabeam scales well for enterprise use, despite some latency issues and slowdowns with increased filtering criteria.
Sentiment score
7.6
Vulcan Cyber efficiently scales with diverse environments, integrating multiple data sources, handling high volumes, and earning positive ratings.
We have a lot of assets under management, and it effectively scales up to accommodate hundreds or even thousands of assets.
I'd rate the scalability ten out of ten.
I would rate it ten out of ten for scalability, as integration with multiple connectors is possible without exceeding licensing limits.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
Exabeam is stable with high ratings, though some users face processing delays and downtime affecting SOC monitoring.
Sentiment score
7.0
Vulcan Cyber is generally stable, scoring high on stability, with minor UI issues and occasional communication lapses.
These problems were not frequent, and the last six to eight months have been stable.
It would be better if Vulcan notified me, the customer, about upcoming maintenance or changes, indicating when the website might be down.
The product's stability is commendable, with no noticeable lags or slowness.
I would rate it a nine out of ten in terms of stability.
 

Room For Improvement

Exabeam needs better flexibility, integration, clearer documentation, enhanced dashboards, faster support, improved UI, and reduced false positives.
Vulcan Cyber users seek improved connectors, performance, simplified UI, better integration, enhanced reporting, and more effective data management.
Exabeam needs to improve its documentation and provide more customization for dashboards and case management.
I have explored the SaaS version; it offers many new features.
It would be beneficial if the platform allowed remote access to devices for immediate remedies.
Providing real-world examples of how to construct a ticket format for Jira, Azure DevOps, or ServiceNow with specific examples would help us understand how it might work in our environment.
Having it more customized or providing more customization options for me would be beneficial.
 

Setup Cost

Exabeam offers reasonable pricing with flexible models, though not the cheapest, it's competitively priced compared to some competitors.
Vulcan Cyber is affordably priced but lacks some features, leading to cost-effectiveness questions despite competitive enterprise appeal.
For our use case, the solution is lacking some features, and the cost savings don't make it worth it.
 

Valuable Features

Exabeam excels with advanced analytics, intuitive interface, seamless integration, automation, and machine learning for enhanced security and ease of use.
Vulcan Cyber integrates data for comprehensive risk insights, offering intuitive interfaces, customization, and efficient vulnerability management with strong support.
Exabeam's AI capabilities, like the natural language mode, convert natural language into Exabeam queries, enhancing ease of use.
The product offers useful features like the dashboard, timeline, and session views, which enhance our security tools.
It offers a comprehensive view of the assets and their associated vulnerabilities, which aids in assessing and mitigating threats.
The automation capabilities using the Vulcan API platform or the API feature allow me to easily automate scripts and reports and schedule them.
Instead of having 100 vulnerabilities and not knowing how to prioritize and assign all your FTEs there, you now have only ten that you know you need to fix, and you're assigning the right number of FTEs.

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.
Shreevinayak Deshpande - PeerSpot reviewer
Makes vulnerability management efficient with a single pane of glass and daily report generation
There are areas for improvement. Initially, when onboarding Vulcan Cyber, the setup and configuration was more complex than expected with a user-friendly approach. This aspect can be enhanced. An important area is performance and speed, as Vulcan Cyber often lacks speed when exporting reports. The team might have to work on scaling up servers. When we click on a vulnerability, it takes ten seconds to pop up a window and show the entire content. Instead of that, they can put a down arrow, and all the details should be shown on clicking the arrow. This will prevent that ten-second delay. Another area for improvement is providing support and documentation for their tool. Users should have access to easy-to-understand trial documentation for reference.
