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.

Solution Architect at CTC

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.

"The most valuable feature for us is the zero-day."

"Cymulate is easy to set up, install, and configure."

"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."

"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 solution's automation capabilities are great."

"The UI was very clean."

"Exabeam Fusion SIEM has a good performance and more advantages than traditional solutions."

More Exabeam pros

Cons

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

"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."

"We have had some trouble with the agents."

"The product must provide consultancy for initial setup."

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

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

"They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The customer service and support are not satisfactory."

"Exabeam needs to improve its documentation and provide more customization for dashboards and case management."

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

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

More Exabeam cons

"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."

"There is an annual license required to use Exabeam Fusion SIEM. The price of the solution should be reduced."

"The solution is expensive."

"Exabeam is not a cheap solution."
