OLUWATOBI ADETUNJI ADETORO - PeerSpot reviewer
It makes employees more conscious of what they're do on the clock, helping us to deliver better services to our clients
ActivTrack has a range of features, including a detailed dashboard, alert monitoring, screenshots, and report generation. Overall, ActivTrak has worked as advertised, and we're happy. Our favorite feature is probably the alerts. ActivTrack warns employees when they break the rules, which helps us keep staff in check. The daily report is comprehensive and easy to read. It's an excellent feature to explore.
Ravi Shekharan - PeerSpot reviewer
Helped reduce our operational costs and increase our efficiency, but it can be more user-friendly
Regarding the prioritization of threats, Gurucul UEBA needs to enhance its alert severity assignment process within the system. This is one area where Gurucul UEBA could improve. Additionally, it would be beneficial if the tool itself could provide or assign user-based or asset-based CI ratings to allow for a more accurate assessment of alert severity. In our environment, we forward these logs, events, and alerts to SIM, where the CI rating is already present. Therefore, if we need to closely investigate a UEBA case directly, it becomes problematic. Gurucul UEBA should proactively incorporate asset-based or user-based CI severity into its design. Gurucul UEBA needs to be more user-friendly. I would like Gurucul UEBA to be able to integrate with legacy-based identity systems and systems that are performing network-based access control. This would require additional integration and playbook models.

Pros

"ActivTrack has a range of features, including a detailed dashboard, alert monitoring, screenshots, and report generation. Overall, ActivTrak has worked as advertised, and we're happy. Our favorite feature is probably the alerts. ActivTrack warns employees when they break the rules, which helps us keep staff in check."
"The most valuable feature of Gurucul is the ability to customize and it is on the Hadoop platform that has a lot of flexibility."
"I appreciate the comprehensive categorization of devices based on their intended use, such as those for DNS."
"The reporting feature was the key differentiator. I also liked the ability to create dynamic rules in the environment."
"If you are genuinely looking for a UEBA solution, you should choose Gurucul confidently if your need is strictly UEBA."
 

Cons

"I prefer an on-prem deployment, but ActivTrak currently doesn't offer this. It would address privacy concerns that come up for end-users. I would also love it if monitoring could be expanded to company mobile phones. This will enable us to track and maintain productivity on devices like that."
"Regarding the prioritization of threats, Gurucul UEBA needs to enhance its alert severity assignment process within the system."
"Gurucul can improve on the online documentation. They should educate the end users more to allow them to do everything themselves."
"It could be more stable."
"Technical support is good but can improve. I would rate it six to seven out of ten. The main issue is response time, which can take three to four hours even for simple queries."
