Enterprise Account Manager South at a outsourcing company with 201-500 employees
Advanced analytics have transformed our threat detection and streamlined incident investigations
I would appreciate seeing additional dashboards in Exabeam Fusion SIEM or perhaps more options or the ability to customize them further. While we can customize them currently, there may be additional options available. I value the outcomes navigator because it matches the log piece to the use cases, which is helpful. The correlation rules are excellent. I am interested in whether there are additional threat intelligence feeds available that we could use, whether we can integrate our own, or if we could ingest different ones.

Seamless integration into existing ecosystem empowers effective threat detection
The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks AutoFocus is its seamless integration into the Palo Alto Networks ecosystem, allowing the threat intelligence feeds to be automatically consumed without manual effort. It uses the STIX format, which is automatically understood by the firewalls. AutoFocus also excels in behavioral analytics and reputation scoring, providing thorough threat analysis.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Exabeam SIEM has a user friendly UI interface."
"The UI was very clean."
"The most valuable feature of Exabeam is the timeline creation based on log sources, which helps in security investigations."
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM has a good performance and more advantages than traditional solutions."
"Overall, this is a fantastic tool and it is one of the best SIEMs that I've come across."
"It is user-friendly and quite simple to use."
"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."
"Timeline based analysis; good platform support"
"The feature that I like best is the dashboard."
"It's a very good solution, it identifies critical attacks and alerts you."
"I am impressed with the tool's integration of Palo Alto products which serves as a platform for security."
"It is very easy to install and set up AutoFocus."
"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."
"The logs play a crucial role as they contribute to blocking unwanted Internet traffic."
"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."
 

Cons

"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 customer service and support are not satisfactory."
"Exabeam needs to improve its adaptive nature towards rules and its capability to understand the entire client environment faster."
"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 still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."
"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's reporting dashboard could have included a filtering option to filter by the most recent detection."
"I tried to send an email, however, no one has replied."
"Palo Alto Networks AutoFocus is not affordable."
"I would like the tool to see more integration with Cortex XDR. There is no real reason to keep them separate."
"It would be helpful to have better documentation for configuring and installing the solution."
"There were one or two instances where firewalls were not getting the threat intelligence feeds."
"It would be better if they used the threat intelligence feeds directly from their side and changing the verdict instead of us requesting it."
"It must be on-premises as well; it must have a server on-premises. It is a completely cloud-based product at present."
"I would like to have more technical documentation that contains greater detail on the types of threats that are occurring."

"Exabeam Fusion SIEM's pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"They have a great model for pricing that can be based either on user count or gigabits per day."
"The solution is expensive."

"The solution is reasonably priced."
