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

"The UI was very clean."
"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."
"Valuable features are its timeline based analysis and that it's user friendly."
"Exabeam's UEBA displays the type of description that it could show in a console regarding one particular user, the rating that it shows, and how vulnerable the user is, which is very good."
"It's a very user-friendly product and it's a very comprehensive technology."
"Exabeam is very easy to use, with a straightforward platform and workflow, unlike other tools that require more expertise."
"I have seen a return on investment with Exabeam Fusion SIEM, and it is worth the money."
"The most valuable feature of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is the easy-to-use user interface."
"The best thing about Snare is its format and consistency."
"Snare has good agents, especially for Windows."
"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."
 

Cons

"We use the on-prem Exabeam product and face limitations using the web UI and administration of custom models and rules."
"The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive."
"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."
"The customer service and support are not satisfactory."
"They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails."
"Exabeam's reporting dashboard could have included a filtering option to filter by the most recent detection."
"The solution's reporting and dashboarding could be improved."
"Adding to the number of certifications that they have, for example, ISO 27001, would be helpful. Currently, they only have SOC 2."
"The solution is now developing a SIEM-like feature on Snare Central Server, but it's not complete yet."
"Snare should modernize its GUI a little bit."
"Users will initially find it difficult to identify the event types and installation in Snare."

"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."
"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."
"Exabeam is not a cheap solution."
"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."
"Snare is a cheap solution because a lot of customers are using it."
"Snare has reasonable pricing."
