SB
Security Architec at Shikun & Binui
Support and integration enhance security posture over three years
I don't know if there's something that could be improved. They surprise me. As I mentioned, I returned a month ago. I haven't fully investigated the complete system yet. I must say that we have been with them for around three years. This is amazing because throughout these three years, they have supported us every week. We meet weekly to review results and fix issues together. Apart from occasional days off, this weekly support has been consistent for three years. It's remarkable because many products are sold and then the product teams forget about you, but this isn't the case with Cymulate.

Solution Architect at CTC
Improved threat detection has provided clear user risk insights and streamlined incident response
Exabeam's UEBA is the most valuable feature that I have found so far. 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. Exabeam's automation for incident response is very good. The machine learning capabilities of Exabeam are also good.

Quotes from Members

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

"Cymulate is easy to set up, install, and configure."
"The reporting capabilities are very good."
"I have customers that like the EUBA functionality of it. The solution has the ability to build a session, basically. It pulls a lot of information together, for example, everything a user does in a specific timeframe. It's quite helpful."

Cons

"I will be honest, we have it, but in the last year, I didn't maintain the system until a month ago."
"The product must provide consultancy for initial setup."
"The cost can be quite high, and it impacts scalability as more simulations require additional expenses."
"The way Cymulate works for EDR could be improved, as it drops payload and requires action from the EDR console for remediation, which can block the whole process of Cymulate execution."
"The reporting process requires significant improvement as it often takes longer than expected and the quality is lacking."
"We have had some trouble with the agents."
"Exabeam lacks customizable dashboards, which might be a limitation if visualization is a key requirement."
"There is a lack of Indonesian support, it would benefit us to have more support for the customers."
"They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails."
"The organzation is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate"
"Exabeam should be a bit faster, especially in loading and vulnerability scanning."
"I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product."
"Exabeam needs to improve its documentation and provide more customization for dashboards and case management."
"The product is good but the organization is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is affordable."
"Cymulate's services are expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM's pricing is reasonable."
"They have a great model for pricing that can be based either on user count or gigabits per day."
"There is an annual license required to use Exabeam Fusion SIEM. The price of the solution should be reduced."
