SB
Deputy Manager at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Experience seamless integration and effective dashboard while considering improved EDR configuration support
The way Cymulate works for EDR could be improved, as it drops payload and requires action from the EDR console for remediation, which can block the whole process of Cymulate execution. They should create some KB articles for the granular exclusion from different platforms and improve their technical assistance support.

Enterprise Account Manager South at a outsourcing company with 201-500 employees
Advanced analytics have transformed our threat detection and streamlined incident investigations
I would appreciate seeing additional dashboards in Exabeam Fusion SIEM or perhaps more options or the ability to customize them further. While we can customize them currently, there may be additional options available. I value the outcomes navigator because it matches the log piece to the use cases, which is helpful. The correlation rules are excellent. I am interested in whether there are additional threat intelligence feeds available that we could use, whether we can integrate our own, or if we could ingest different ones.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cymulate has positively impacted our organization by helping us to take care of the efficacy and reviewing the policies and configuration."
"The security validation feature helps my organization in assessing our security posture."
"With Cymulate, the best features are the capacity to test the EDR or malware, anti-malware solution."
"The reporting capabilities are very good."
"Cymulate is easy to set up, install, and configure."
"The most valuable feature for us is the zero-day."
"Timeline based analysis; good platform support"
"We evaluated LogRhythm and Splunk as possible options but in the end, we went with Exabeam - it was the right choice for us taking into account the needs of our customers and projected future needs."
"The solution's automation capabilities are great."
"The most valuable feature of Exabeam is the timeline creation based on log sources, which helps in security investigations."
"I have seen a return on investment with Exabeam Fusion SIEM, and it is worth the money."
"Exabeam has improved our organization by speeding up the investigation process."
"The most valuable feature of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is the easy-to-use user interface."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
 

Cons

"The way Cymulate works for EDR could be improved, as it drops payload and requires action from the EDR console for remediation, which can block the whole process of Cymulate execution."
"I will be honest, we have it, but in the last year, I didn't maintain the system until a month ago."
"We have had some trouble with the agents."
"The product must provide consultancy for initial setup."
"The cost can be quite high, and it impacts scalability as more simulations require additional expenses."
"The reporting process requires significant improvement as it often takes longer than expected and the quality is lacking."
"Exabeam's integration capabilities are not good, as Exabeam has a very limited number of integrations and no out-of-box integration, which is an area where Exabeam should improve."
"Updating the new release of Exabeam Fusion SIEM takes time and slows our performance."
"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 still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."
"The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive."
"One area that needs improvement is interacting with Exabeam's API. There was a headache regarding the API; the documentation wasn't clear, and the syntax wasn't very precise."
"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."
"Exabeam needs to improve its documentation and provide more customization for dashboards and case management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is affordable."
"Cymulate's services are expensive."
"There is an annual license required to use Exabeam Fusion SIEM. The price of the solution should be reduced."
"Exabeam is not a cheap solution."
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM's pricing is reasonable."
"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."
"The solution is expensive."
"They have a great model for pricing that can be based either on user count or gigabits per day."
