Support and integration enhance security posture over three years

I don't know if there's something that could be improved. They surprise me. As I mentioned, I returned a month ago. I haven't fully investigated the complete system yet. I must say that we have been with them for around three years. This is amazing because throughout these three years, they have supported us every week. We meet weekly to review results and fix issues together. Apart from occasional days off, this weekly support has been consistent for three years. It's remarkable because many products are sold and then the product teams forget about you, but this isn't the case with Cymulate.

Improved threat detection has provided clear user risk insights and streamlined incident response

Exabeam's UEBA is the most valuable feature that I have found so far. Exabeam's UEBA displays the type of description that it could show in a console regarding one particular user, the rating that it shows, and how vulnerable the user is, which is very good. Exabeam's automation for incident response is very good. The machine learning capabilities of Exabeam are also good.

More Exabeam pros

Cons

"The reporting process requires significant improvement as it often takes longer than expected and the quality is lacking."

"The product must provide consultancy for initial setup."

"We have had some trouble with the agents."

"The cost can be quite high, and it impacts scalability as more simulations require additional expenses."

"I will be honest, we have it, but in the last year, I didn't maintain the system until a month ago."

"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."

"Exabeam needs to improve its adaptive nature towards rules and its capability to understand the entire client environment faster."

"The solution's reporting and dashboarding could be improved."

"Exabeam's reporting dashboard could have included a filtering option to filter by the most recent detection."

"We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."

"One area for the solution's improvement is integration capabilities, particularly out-of-the-box integration which sometimes requires additional professional services."

"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."

"Exabeam lacks customizable dashboards, which might be a limitation if visualization is a key requirement."

"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."

More Exabeam cons
