Security Engineer at Granicus Inc.
I have noticed some problems with parsing errors, event mismatches, and data mismatching, so ensuring accurate parsing and continuous improvement according to device updates are my basic expectations as a detection engineer.

A more user-friendly user interface with drag-and-drop features, similar to key competitors like Splunk, would be beneficial.

Analyst at a government with 1,001-5,000 employees
We have enough budget for cloud deployment, but we choose to keep it on-prem to ensure data privacy; cyberattacks are a concern, but data privacy is the foremost priority due to sensitive government information.

The seamless integration for case management, along with a user-friendly dashboard user interface, makes tasks like threat hunting more efficient.
Product Development - Security Solutions Manager at Aplikanusa Lintasarta

Machine learning features improve security insight but on-prem limitations prompt consideration of migration
We only use Exabeam for Advanced Analytics. We don't do all those other aspects like ticketing plugins. We just use it for the integration purposes, which are kind of basic. We send alerts via the dashboard for our SOC to identify risky users Exabeam includes machine learning features and…

Provides strong detection capabilities but requires improvements in parsing and stability
I cannot think of any specific features that LogRhythm SIEM can improve upon since it supports a wide variety of major vendors. However, they need to improve their parsing techniques; the tool should understand various devices and present data in a human-readable format. For example, if a personal Android mobile needs to be integrated, LogRhythm SIEM should be able to parse that data effectively. They also need to improve their database of supported devices to cover smaller vendors alongside the major players, allowing for better global reach and usability. I have noticed some problems with parsing errors, event mismatches, and data mismatching, so ensuring accurate parsing and continuous improvement according to device updates are my basic expectations as a detection engineer.
