Integration with third-party sources enables us to correlate and act on internal and external events
Securonix provides feedback from integrations with third parties so that it is always up to date regarding security events that occur daily. It has helped a lot because previously we did not have as much control over the procedures or things that the company's users did. With Securonix, we have been able to monitor the activities of both internal and external users in the company. Securonix has published a lot of information regarding how to use the platform. They have a lot of information online that has helped us add contextual information to security events. In the event of a security breach or a risk, it helps us monitor things. So far, with the solution in place, we have not witnessed any attacks, but it has helped us to monitor possible events that, if not taken into account, could be security breaches. It has helped us to mitigate potential gaps. With this solution, we have saved hours in case management. It has helped us detect things faster and the integration with third-party sources has given us the ability to correlate and act on internal and external events, such as malicious attacks or malicious sites. We have improved in our response to certain incidents and types of browsing thanks to external lists that Securonix has provided us with. We can automatically detect threats. Another benefit has been the ability to integrate practically all our specialists from different areas, including Windows, security, virtualization, et cetera, to respond with better quality. It has improved the efficiency of analysis. It has also helped with data loss events in a certain way, through integration with our email accounts. In an event of data loss, the loss for our organization would be incalculable.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The setup is not difficult. It was easy."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The advanced analytics has a really great overview of user behavior."
"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."
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM has a good performance and more advantages than traditional solutions."
"Timeline based analysis; good platform support"
"The user interface and the timelines they use are the most valuable features. The price model is very simple so that one can understand it easily and there are no surprises within it."
"The detection of threats and reduction of false positive alarms as compared to other solutions are valuable features. It has improved threat detection response and reduced a lot of noise from false positives as compared to our previous SIEM solutions."
"The second feature is that within the SNYPR product there is a functionality called Spotter. We use that for link analysis diagrams and to run the stats command. That's extremely useful because it replaces a tedious, manual process we used to use, using Microsoft Excel and a couple of other methods, to bring data together."
"The customizability of the tool is valuable. We are able to customize the use cases and create them easily without a large amount of Securonix assistance. It's very flexible. We do not have to rely on Professional Services to modify or create a new use case."
"SNYPR has a bundle of features. It has the UEBA feature that tells you about the behavior of a person or entity. In the tool itself, there is an incident management feature, which is definitely valuable."
"The most valuable feature is that it works on user behavior and event rarities."
"The feature that is most valuable is the fact that it's an open platform, so it allows us to modify policies and tune policies as needed. There's also a feature called Data Insights which allows us to create different dashboards on specific things of interest for us."
"There aren't any positive aspects of the solution. It was a complete failure. There are no redeeming features."
"The solution has proven to be stable so far...The solution is easy to scale up."
 

Cons

"We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."
"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."
"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."
"The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive."
"Adding to the number of certifications that they have, for example, ISO 27001, would be helpful."
"I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product."
"Updating the new release of Exabeam Fusion SIEM takes time and slows our performance."
"There is slight room for improvement in terms of the initial deployment. What I see is that Securonix is more focused on their product. They are expanding, in a big way, the number of customers. So there has to be a number of dedicated teams to jump on and speed up the deployment process."
"We thought they were going to be a great product, however, they're actually not great at all as an MSP."
"Securonix could open up information regarding the indicators of compromise or cyber-threat intelligence database that they use. The idea is that they share what threats they are detecting."
"The solution could provide more automation."
"There is room for improvement in the product's integration with ServiceNow and in the reporting features."
"We would like to see better integration with other products."
"It seems to me that within Securonix there is no option for completely visualizing the types of sources or if there is any loss of logs. I've heard that they have an additional module to validate those types of cases, but in terms of the platform itself only, I can only see how often it sends data but not any specific detail."
"The analytics-driven approach for finding sophisticated threats and reducing false positives is positive and good, but the platform requires a more dynamic concept. Everything is a bit static."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM's pricing is reasonable."
"There is an annual license required to use Exabeam Fusion SIEM. The price of the solution should be reduced."
"They have a great model for pricing that can be based either on user count or gigabits per day."
"The pricing is fine compared to the market but I think that at some point the competitors will catch up on price."
"Its pricing is quite similar to others and is very competitive. The other solutions have different types of licensing, but when you do the math, it is competitive."
"A good thing about Securonix is that they don't charge by volume of data or number of devices... They charge by the number of employees, which is a much more predictable number for me, versus data. Our costs are in the $100,000 range over a three-year subscription."
"I had heard that it was much cheaper than Splunk and some of the other tools, and they gave us a nice package with support. They accommodated the number of users and support very well."
"Its price is fine. We found it to be cheaper than LogRhythm, Exabeam, Splunk, as well as Elastic Security. A few months ago, when we were comparing Securonix with Elastic Security, we found Securonix to be cheaper than Elasticsearch. We were pretty surprised that Elastic Security is more expensive than Securonix because Elasticsearch is just starting, and it cannot compete with Securonix at this time. So, the pricing of Securonix is pretty good for now."
"Compared to other known brands in the industry, the overall cost of the licenses is a bit higher than what customers expect."
"The pricing is good, but by adding more things, the licensing becomes more complex because an EPS license fluctuates a lot. This licensing concept is going to be problematic in the long run."
"We have an annual license. We pay $200,000 for the base licensing and we pay another $50,000 for the software as a service."
