Featured Reviews

HectorRios - PeerSpot reviewer
Has provided reliable alerts and helped identify infrastructure issues through detailed reporting
The best features of CrowdStrike Observability include the way they show issues to the client or agent, and their data collection method is interesting because they use an agent-less approach in some cases, collecting data from infrastructure such as firewalls. Additionally, they have the agent, but the presentation in the management console is excellent as we have observability end-to-end with the servers and all the services configured in the use cases. The intelligent alerting feature is excellent and configured on our console, being highly effective as it detects real alerts and just warnings or real issues. Identifying performance bottlenecks is important because they collect numerous MD5 or hash keys including movements or playbooks. The way they organize that in the console is excellent, allowing you to have reports detecting issues, which not only includes detection but also provides solutions to those issues.
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.
