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.

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

"Exabeam includes machine learning features and out-of-the-box rules that we rely on."

More Exabeam pros

"Palo Alto Networks AutoFocus has had a positive impact on my company as we can reduce the cost for the SOC investment, and we can also get good feedback on how to strengthen our network from the expertise people available."

Cons

"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 should be a bit faster, especially in loading and vulnerability scanning."

"One area for the solution's improvement is integration capabilities, particularly out-of-the-box integration which sometimes requires additional professional services."

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

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

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

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