Senior Consultant at a university with 10,001+ employees
Have found automation to save analyst time but miss more accurate data classification
From our research and testing with the tool, we determined there need to be modifications and changes to train the LLM on the back end. 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. It was unable to do that sort of classification. We concluded this tool would be more suitable for initial ticket management rather than security automation. Regarding data handling, I would give preference to Torq. For case management, Cortex and its dashboards prove more useful. Cortex and Palo's solutions do not have as much capability as Torq provides with the same tools. However, Torq's dashboards could be improved, especially on the case management side.

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…

Automation streamlines workflow and integrates seamlessly with various applications
I serve as both a reseller and customer of Fortinet FortiSOAR. The solution is suitable for all types of businesses from small to enterprise. The integration capability of Fortinet FortiSOAR deserves a rating of 10. It can be integrated with any system, and we have the capability for custom connectors. Even if Fortinet FortiSOAR doesn't have a specific connector, you can easily create a custom connector using AI. Simply provide your requirements or solution needs, and Fortinet FortiSOAR will create the connector, enabling integration with any application. My final rating for Fortinet FortiSOAR would be 10 out of 10, where one is bad and ten is good.

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."
"The solution's automation capabilities are great."
"The ThreatHunter in Advanced Analytics is the most valuable. It helps analyze compromised assets and provides analysis for any entity within my client's environment."
"The advanced analytics has a really great overview of user behavior."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The Exabeam SIEM has a user friendly UI interface."
"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."
"Exabeam has improved our organization by speeding up the investigation process."
"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 Fortinet FortiSOAR is the playbook, which has to be defined to apply the policies."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is a very interactive and user-friendly solution."
"The most fascinating aspect of FortiSOAR is its modern and simple to understand and operate dashboards."
"It's great that the solution is integrated with FortiAnalyzer."
"It is a scalable solution...The implementation phase of the product was not tough or difficult."
"The good news is that FortiSOAR is not hard to maintain. If you prepared well and deployed strong initially, then maintenance will take half an hour every other week, not more than that. A single person can do it."
"Generally, the tool helps just automating a lot of manual load or repetitive tasks."
"My final rating for Fortinet FortiSOAR would be 10 out of 10, where one is bad and ten is good."
 

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."
"We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."
"Exabeam's reporting dashboard could have included a filtering option to filter by the most recent detection."
"We use the on-prem Exabeam product and face limitations using the web UI and administration of custom models and rules."
"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."
"Exabeam needs to improve its adaptive nature towards rules and its capability to understand the entire client environment faster."
"The organzation is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate"
"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."
"I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product."
"The tool's user interface is an area of concern where improvements are needed."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The technology and integrations are important so should continue to be enhanced."
"I have found that Fortinet FortiSOAR needs a lot of improvement. The Orchestration needs to be improved."
"We need more fine-tuning for ChatGPT, especially when creating connectors."
"The UI design of the solution needs to be changed since it can get difficult for a newbie to operate."
"FortiSOAR needs to improve the response time for executing playbooks."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR should improve its analysis."
