Automation workflows have transformed our IT, enabling secure just-in-time access control
We work with them quite often, so we have a direct line regarding areas in Torq that have room for improvement. If we have a feature request, we can request it. I do not have anything in mind at the moment. We were a design partner for a short while, so we feel that they listen and that users of the system have an impact on the way the system is designed for the better. They have a new community, which is something that I personally suggested years ago. There are many people like me in different places and they might have already built the workflow that I need. Having the option to share workflows or to jump on a thread and say I have this need, did anyone ever build a workflow for it, is amazing. Someone would jump in and say yes, sure, here, take this workflow. I think this is an amazing thing and I really hope that the community will come alive because I think this is really powerful. This is something that I already suggested and it did happen eventually, and I am quite happy with it. I do not have any specific feature in mind that I have a need for at the moment.

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.

Effectively manages vulnerabilities and reduces false positives
ServiceNow Security Operations provides significant control over vulnerabilities, allowing users to mark false alarms as false positives and ignore them, which is important because many vulnerabilities are not real but appear as such. There are many aspects that we could handle. For certain vulnerabilities, remediation requires spending extra on hardware or OS upgrades, or purchasing new versions, which implies a cost. For that reason, we can take an exception for a couple of months or days, and once that exception expires, that vulnerability automatically reappears. These features help us ensure that everything is under control, and when we discuss vulnerabilities, we can consolidate them into one central category, which means working on one vulnerability automatically resolves the rest, making it efficient with the features provided.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"As an analyst, it has demonstrated potential to reduce workforce requirements and time needed for related activities."
"Using that one piece of AI, we auto-closed 511 cases in quarter four alone."
"If I review about 100 vendors that I might work with, Torq is definitely in the top five that gave me personally investment back, just because every bit of effort I put into Torq eventually became a workflow that gave it back to me."
"Once I started to use the system and I saw the potential, it changed all of our work in IT."
"What I appreciate most about Torq is that it is an essential part of our system."
"Any request that comes in, regardless of how complex it is, I can accomplish it with Torq."
"Exabeam has improved our organization by speeding up the investigation process."
"The way it can connect with AWS is very useful, and the integrations are pretty good."
"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."
"Timeline based analysis; good platform support"
"The solution's automation capabilities are great."
"The most valuable feature of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is the easy-to-use user interface."
"The UI was very clean."
"Exabeam includes machine learning features and out-of-the-box rules that we rely on."
"The product's most valuable features include the no-code capability for workflows and flow design, which makes it user-friendly, and the ability to perform advanced configurations."
"Multiple projects use the ServiceNow tool because it is a low-cost and open-source tool."
"The ease of use is great."
"The most valuable aspect of working with ServiceNow is its meaningful and feature-rich product."
"ServiceNow is a convenient platform to raise tickets, and the respective support team will contact us to resolve any issues."
"The solution is available over the cloud and is easy to manage."
"The "follow" feature is really good. If the user is not responding, there's an option to "follow". Just click on the button, and it will automatically trigger an email to the end user."
"My favorite feature is the application vulnerability scanner."
 

Cons

"It was able to capture data but was unable to differentiate between the agent hostname we are using and the hostname that resides on the back end of the Internet."
"Even now, we have workflows that are in production that use AI steps and I get different results, making it unusable to some degree."
"Regarding stability, I have noticed some lagging, crashing, and downtime, which is one of my largest gripes."
"Regarding the pricing of Torq, I would say it is expensive."
"The initial deployment of Torq was not easy."
"Exabeam's reporting dashboard could have included a filtering option to filter by the most recent detection."
"They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails."
"Exabeam needs to improve its documentation and provide more customization for dashboards and case management."
"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."
"Exabeam should be a bit faster, especially in loading and vulnerability scanning."
"Adding to the number of certifications that they have, for example, ISO 27001, would be helpful."
"The organzation is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate"
"It's very slow. When you click a button or update a field, it takes forever to actually react."
"​Process framework and best practices for ease of integration between IT and security teams via incident, problem, and change.​"
"There is room for improvement in terms of developer support and documentation."
"Customer awareness and understanding of ServiceNow's SecOps capabilities could be improved."
"They should stick to the roadmap and continue to build plugins and integrations with other third parties, enhance the UI, and enhance the reporting. It's all good. They should just continue enhancing the releases."
"It doesn't interact with things very well."
"The dashboard and playbook creation will need to improve"
"In future releases, I would like to add a follow-up and reminder feature. For the tickets in our queue, we could set reminders. This would help us prioritize older tickets before moving on to new ones."
