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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Exabeam has improved our organization by speeding up the investigation process."

"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."

"The most valuable feature of Exabeam is the timeline creation based on log sources, which helps in security investigations."

"It's a very user-friendly product and it's a very comprehensive technology."

"The Exabeam SIEM has a user friendly UI interface."

"The setup is not difficult. It was easy."

More Exabeam pros

"I am impressed with the tool's integration of Palo Alto products which serves as a platform for security."

"The most valuable feature is alerting."

"The feature that I like best is the dashboard."

"I would rate Palo Alto Networks AutoFocus a ten out of ten."

"It integrates well with other solutions and provides good threat intelligence in terms of external threats."

"The logs play a crucial role as they contribute to blocking unwanted Internet traffic."

Cons

"Adding to the number of certifications that they have, for example, ISO 27001, would be helpful."

"The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive."

"I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product."

"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."

"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."

"The organzation is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate"

"We use the on-prem Exabeam product and face limitations using the web UI and administration of custom models and rules."

More Exabeam cons

"I would like the tool to see more integration with Cortex XDR. There is no real reason to keep them separate."

"It would be better if they used the threat intelligence feeds directly from their side and changing the verdict instead of us requesting it."

"I would like to have more technical documentation that contains greater detail on the types of threats that are occurring."

"It is a completely cloud-based product at present."

"It would be helpful to have better documentation for configuring and installing the solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Exabeam Fusion SIEM's pricing is reasonable."

"Exabeam is not a cheap solution."

"The solution is expensive."

"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."

"They have a great model for pricing that can be based either on user count or gigabits per day."

"There is an annual license required to use Exabeam Fusion SIEM. The price of the solution should be reduced."

"The solution is reasonably priced."

"It is expensive."
