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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The security validation feature helps my organization in assessing our security posture."
"With Cymulate, the best features are the capacity to test the EDR or malware, anti-malware solution."
"The reporting capabilities are very good."
"The most valuable feature for us is the zero-day."
"Cymulate has positively impacted our organization by helping us to take care of the efficacy and reviewing the policies and configuration."
"Cymulate is easy to set up, install, and configure."
"The way it can connect with AWS is very useful, and the integrations are pretty good."
"Exabeam has improved our organization by speeding up the investigation process."
"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 solution has great technology, it's a very user-friendly product and a very comprehensive technology, the security on offer is very good, and cost-wise, compared to other technology, it's affordable."
"The most valuable feature of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is the easy-to-use user interface."
"The Exabeam SIEM has a user friendly UI interface."
"The setup is not difficult. It was easy."
 

Cons

"We have had some trouble with the agents."
"The reporting process requires significant improvement as it often takes longer than expected and the quality is lacking."
"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."
"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 solution's reporting and dashboarding could be improved."
"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."
"There is a lack of Indonesian support, it would benefit us to have more support for the customers."
"Exabeam lacks customizable dashboards, which might be a limitation if visualization is a key requirement."
"I would say the pricing for Exabeam Fusion SIEM is not cost prohibitive, but it was a little more than I initially thought."
"I tried to send an email, however, no one has replied."
"The product is good but the organization is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate."
"We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is affordable."
"Cymulate's services are expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM's pricing is reasonable."
"Exabeam is not a cheap solution."
"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."
