We performed a comparison between Exabeam Fusion SIEM and Graylog based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 most valuable feature of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is the easy-to-use user interface."
"The advanced analytics has a really great overview of user behavior."
"Timeline based analysis; good platform support"
"It's a very user-friendly product and it's a very comprehensive technology."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM has a good performance and more advantages than traditional solutions."
"The setup is not difficult. It was easy."
"Real-time UDP/GELF logging and full text-based searching."
"What I like about Graylog is that it's real-time and you have access to the raw data. So, you ingest it, and you have access to every message and every data item you ingest. You can then build analytics on top of that. You can look at the raw data, and you can do some volumetric estimations, such as how big traffic you have, how many messages of data of a type you have, etc."
"We're using the Community edition, but I know that it has really good dashboarding and alerts."
"One of the most valuable features is that you are able to do a very detailed search through the log messages in the overview."
"Allowing us to set up alerts and integrate with platforms we already use, such as Slack and OpsGenie to alert users of these errors proactively, is also a very useful feature."
"UDP is a fast and lightweight protocol, perfect for sending large volumes of logs with minimal overhead."
"We have scaled from a single machine installation (a VM with a Graylog + ES + MongoDB) to (2 Graylog + 2 ES + 3 MongoDB). This was done smoothly with a minimal impact on logging."
"Message forwarding through the in-built module."
"We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."
"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."
"Updating the new release of Exabeam Fusion SIEM takes time and slows our performance."
"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 should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails."
"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."
"I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product."
"The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive."
"More complex visualizations and the ability to execute custom Elasticsearch queries would be great."
"Lacks sufficient documentation."
"Elasticsearch recommendations for tuning could be better. Graylog doesn't have direct support for running the system inside of Kubernetes, so it can be challenging to fill in the gaps and set up containers in a way that is both performant and stable."
"The biggest problem is the collector application, as we wanted to avoid using Graylog Collector Sidecar due to its architecture."
"We ran into problems with Elasticsearch throwing a circuit-breaking exception due to field data size being too large. It turned out that the heap size directly impacted this size in a high-throughput environment, causing unexplained instability in Graylog. We were able to troubleshoot on the Elasticsearch size, but we should have been able to reference some minimum requirements for Graylog to know that our settings weren't sufficient."
"Graylog needs to improve their authentication. Also, the fact that Graylog displays logs from the top down is just ridiculous."
"I would like to see some kind of visualization included in Graylog."
"It would be great if Graylog could provide a better Python package in order to make it easier to use for the Python community."
