Featured Reviews

Stephen-Armstrong - PeerSpot reviewer
The SIEM provides a user-friendly UI experience
When events come into the system, the dashboard categorizes them by the highest risk score, not when they appear on the system. When you've got multiple ongoing incidents you can only see the highest risk score at the top of the list rather than the most recent detection. Exabeam's reporting dashboard could have included a filtering option to filter by the most recent detection.
Tony Zafiropoulos - PeerSpot reviewer
Aggregates logs in one place and helps to review data points
We tried Graylog Security, starting with their inexpensive open-source version. We tested it out and continued using it for a while. As for the main differences between Graylog Security and other vendors, some users might prefer cloud-based platforms over on-premises solutions. It isn't inherently cloud-native, but that might not matter much for some.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Exabeam includes machine learning features and out-of-the-box rules that we rely on."
"The way it can connect with AWS is very useful, and the integrations are pretty good."
"The UI was very clean."
"The setup is not difficult. It was easy."
"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."
"It is user-friendly and quite simple to use."
"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 tool aggregates logs. We can see the logs in one place."
"We use the solution to collect logs."
 

Cons

"Exabeam lacks customizable dashboards, which might be a limitation if visualization is a key requirement."
"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."
"Exabeam needs to improve its adaptive nature towards rules and its capability to understand the entire client environment faster."
"One area that needs improvement is interacting with Exabeam's API. There was a headache regarding the API; the documentation wasn't clear, and the syntax wasn't very precise."
"The solution's reporting and dashboarding could be improved."
"One area for the solution's improvement is integration capabilities, particularly out-of-the-box integration which sometimes requires additional professional services."
"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."
"We use the on-prem Exabeam product and face limitations using the web UI and administration of custom models and rules."
"Graylog Security needs to incorporate security scorecards."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have a great model for pricing that can be based either on user count or gigabits per day."
"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."
"Exabeam is not a cheap solution."
"There is an annual license required to use Exabeam Fusion SIEM. The price of the solution should be reduced."
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM's pricing is reasonable."
"The solution is expensive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a one out of ten."
