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.

A highly scalable solution that is easy to manage and super easy to set up
We use Snare for picking up Windows logs, and we used to use it for SQL as well. We had used it for Linux once or twice. We're mainly using it for Windows and Windows flat files The most valuable feature of Snare is flexibility or the ability to filter all things you don't want and don't have…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, this is a fantastic tool and it is one of the best SIEMs that I've come across."
"The user interface and the timelines they use are the most valuable features, and the price model is very simple so that one can understand it easily and there are no surprises within it."
"We evaluated LogRhythm and Splunk as possible options but in the end, we went with Exabeam - it was the right choice for us taking into account the needs of our customers and projected future needs."
"It is user-friendly and quite simple to use."
"The solution's automation capabilities are great."
"The ThreatHunter in Advanced Analytics is the most valuable. It helps analyze compromised assets and provides analysis for any entity within my client's environment."
"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."
"The advanced analytics has a really great overview of user behavior."
"The most valuable feature of Snare is flexibility or the ability to filter all things you don't want and don't have security value."
"The best thing about Snare is its format and consistency."
"Snare has good agents, especially for Windows."
 

Cons

"Exabeam should be a bit faster, especially in loading and vulnerability scanning."
"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."
"Exabeam's integration capabilities are not good, as Exabeam has a very limited number of integrations and no out-of-box integration, which is an area where Exabeam should improve."
"The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive."
"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."
"Exabeam needs to improve its adaptive nature towards rules and its capability to understand the entire client environment faster."
"We use the on-prem Exabeam product and face limitations using the web UI and administration of custom models and rules."
"The solution is now developing a SIEM-like feature on Snare Central Server, but it's not complete yet."
"Users will initially find it difficult to identify the event types and installation in Snare."
"Snare should modernize its GUI a little bit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Exabeam is not a cheap solution."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"Snare has reasonable pricing."
"Snare is a cheap solution because a lot of customers are using it."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Snare's pricing a four out of ten."
