Customer Service

Sentiment score

Exabeam's customer service garners mixed reviews, with varied responses on responsiveness, efficiency, and support quality across regions.
Sentiment score
5.4
LogRhythm SIEM's support excels in expertise and quick resolutions, earning high satisfaction despite occasional delays.
Even with TAM support from Exabeam, many issues go unresolved.
The technical support is good; we have a separate portal for partners, and since we are paying for the service, they provide a response timeframe based on severity—critical issues are addressed within four hours, medium issues within one day, and non-urgent issues may take a couple of days.
Customer support is very helpful and effectively solves my problems.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
Exabeam scales well for enterprise use, despite some latency issues and slowdowns with increased filtering criteria.
Sentiment score
7.8
LogRhythm SIEM is highly scalable, easily expands across environments, and integrates well, suitable for medium to large enterprises.
LogRhythm SIEM is highly scalable as it has modular components allowing me to expand storage, indexing, or other resources as needed.
The scalability of LogRhythm SIEM is good enough, warranting an eight out of ten rating.
LogRhythm SIEM is scalable; it can handle about 200 or 500 devices without much difference.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
Exabeam is stable with high ratings, though some users face processing delays and downtime affecting SOC monitoring.
Sentiment score
4.7
LogRhythm SIEM is stable with high uptime, strong support, handling large data, though updates may affect stability.
These problems were not frequent, and the last six to eight months have been stable.
The platform needs regular updates to fix problems encountered with each quarterly patch and version release.
LogRhythm SIEM still needs improvement regarding stability, particularly in environments with heavy data consumption.
 

Room For Improvement

Exabeam needs better flexibility, integration, clearer documentation, enhanced dashboards, faster support, improved UI, and reduced false positives.
LogRhythm SIEM needs improved integration, user interface, automation, scalability, documentation, and compatibility with non-mainstream platforms and Linux.
I have explored the SaaS version; it offers many new features.
Exabeam needs to improve its documentation and provide more customization for dashboards and case management.
There is currently no way to determine how much data is being consumed in terms of gigabytes, terabytes, or petabytes from particular devices or environments.
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.
 

Setup Cost

Exabeam offers reasonable pricing with flexible models, though not the cheapest, it's competitively priced compared to some competitors.
LogRhythm SIEM is cost-effective for enterprises, offering transparent pricing and flexible licensing, yet incurs higher professional service fees.
The license cost is around $10 per MPS.
I find LogRhythm SIEM affordable, as it is a bit less costly than QRadar.
 

Valuable Features

Exabeam excels with advanced analytics, intuitive interface, seamless integration, automation, and machine learning for enhanced security and ease of use.
LogRhythm SIEM offers advanced threat detection, user-friendly interface, comprehensive log management, and automated alerts for enhanced security efficiency.
Exabeam's AI capabilities, like the natural language mode, convert natural language into Exabeam queries, enhancing ease of use.
The product offers useful features like the dashboard, timeline, and session views, which enhance our security tools.
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.
This helps SOC analysts significantly as they can monitor all log sources through a dashboard, quickly identifying which sources haven't reported within their specified timeframes.

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.
SumitKumar20 - PeerSpot reviewer
Tool consistently aids in effective threat detection and monitoring but could benefit from improved log source management and resource optimization
One major area for improvement in LogRhythm SIEM is the lack of volume measurement capability in terms of storage. There is currently no way to determine how much data is being consumed in terms of gigabytes, terabytes, or petabytes from particular devices or environments. This information is crucial for planning future storage needs and scalability. The system monitor (collector) agent has issues with resource consumption. Even when not actively collecting data, the agent continues to consume significant CPU and memory resources, which can be particularly problematic for small business environments with limited resources. LogRhythm SIEM could improve by adding more default device support. While they have good default settings for devices such as Palo Alto firewalls, custom log sources often require extensive work. Increasing the number of supported devices with built-in policies and functionality would reduce the need for custom work. Competitive SIEM tools often provide more comprehensive coverage for various devices and vendors.
