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.""Timeline based analysis; good platform support""Exabeam Fusion SIEM has a good performance and more advantages than traditional solutions."

"The scalability of the solution is amazing because it can collect a lot of data and you can have your own structure to monitor this data.""The dashboard and reporting are very good... It provides very good visibility in a hybrid cloud environment, and you can build custom utilization APIs using Splunk.""The most valuable feature is the DSS, also known as SPL, because it allows users to script advanced queries with limited knowledge.""We can do things in minutes instead of days.""I have found the installation can be of medium difficulty to very complex depending on the use case.""The level of robustness on offer is very good.""Its usability is the best part.

Cons
"Updating the new release of Exabeam Fusion SIEM takes time and slows our performance.""We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment.""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.""The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive.""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 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.""I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product.""Adding to the number of certifications that they have, for example, ISO 27001, would be helpful."

More Exabeam Fusion SIEM Cons →

"The configuration had a bit of a learning curve.""When you get into large amounts of data, Splunk can get pretty slow. This is the same on-premise or AWS, it doesn't matter. The way that they handle large data sets could be improved.""Splunk could be improved by reducing the cost. The cost is one of the biggest challenges for us in keeping to our production requirements.""One issue is that we are getting a lot of false positives. We are trying to reduce them by customizing the default rules, changing thresholds, and using white-listing and black-listing. It's getting better and better as a result. But they need to build components that would reduce the false positives.""The biggest problem is data compression. Splunk is an outstanding product, but it is a resource hog. There should be better data compression for being able to maintain our data repositories. We end up having to buy lots of additional storage just to house our Splunk data. This is my only complaint about it.""It's difficult to set up initially, and their billing model is also a bit complicated.""The historical data extraction needs improvement. I would like the capability of taking data and having it trend longer.""The UI can be improved. Dashboards and reports can be better in terms of graphics."
