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:

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

"The solution's automation capabilities are great."

"Exabeam Fusion SIEM has a good performance and more advantages than traditional solutions."

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

"The advanced analytics has a really great overview of user behavior."

More Exabeam pros

"The tool is stable. The initial setup is straightforward. The product is user-friendly."

"InsightIDR's Attacker Behavioral Analytics (ABA) and User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) features have been very useful in maintaining our security posture."

"The fact that it's a security orchestration, automated response solution with a vast level of insights and the ability to integrate with a number of other security tools."

"Based on my user experience, I would recommend InsightConnect for its user-friendly interface and excellent documentation."

Cons

"They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"Exabeam lacks customizable dashboards, which might be a limitation if visualization is a key requirement."

More Exabeam cons

"The technical support should be improved."

"The GUI needs improvement, as creating workflows can be cumbersome. More updated plugins are needed to leverage existing functionalities, such as APIs for functions like blocking malicious IPs in FortiGate."

"The GUI needs improvement, as creating workflows can be cumbersome."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."

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

"Exabeam Fusion SIEM's pricing is reasonable."

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

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