Featured Reviews

Ondrej Kováč - PeerSpot reviewer
Advanced cybersecurity solution for attack based vulnerability mng. and upskill platform for SOC.
While Cymulate's technology shows great promise and delivers excellent results, their approach to positioning the solution appears to overlap with other companies like Tenable, making them both direct and indirect competitors. Cymulate must refine their messaging and manage expectations effectively. In my experience, they need to be more attentive internally and mindful of potential negative impacts on customers. They exhibit a high degree of flexibility, which can result in sudden changes without adequate alerting. Communicating with them via phone for business matters can be challenging. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cymulate's technology level at eight, but their business level at four out of ten.
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.

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 reporting capabilities are very good."
"The most valuable feature for us is the zero-day."
"Cymulate is easy to set up, install, and configure."
"The advanced analytics has a really great overview of user behavior."
"Timeline based analysis; good platform support"
"The ThreatHunter in Advanced Analytics is the most valuable. It helps analyze compromised assets and provides analysis for any entity within my client's environment."
"I have customers that like the EUBA functionality of it. 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."
"The Exabeam SIEM has a user friendly UI interface."
"The solution's automation capabilities are great."
"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."
"The way it can connect with AWS is very useful, and the integrations are pretty good."
 

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."
"The reporting process requires significant improvement as it often takes longer than expected and the quality is lacking."
"The cost can be quite high, and it impacts scalability as more simulations require additional expenses."
"The product must provide consultancy for initial setup."
"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."
"Adding to the number of certifications that they have, for example, ISO 27001, would be helpful."
"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."
"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."
"Exabeam should be a bit faster, especially in loading and vulnerability scanning."
"The customer service and support are not satisfactory."
"The solution's reporting and dashboarding could be improved."
"We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
