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.
Viney Bhardwaj - PeerSpot reviewer
Director at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
Has required significant customization but has supported threat pattern discovery and AI-driven analytics
The integration of Google Chronicle Suite with existing SIEM systems needs to be more mature, so some customization is required. With custom applications, it's quite difficult, and they need to work on this. The automated threat detection features in Google Chronicle Suite come with a lot of false positives and noise. They are new to the market and need to improve significantly. Customization is vital where users can customize the alerts, dashboard, or content as per their needs. This is more required in Google Chronicle Suite, allowing analysts or engineers to create according to the organization. They need to provide cheaper options for online versus offline log storage and improve retention and compression of the logs. Especially searching offline logs is a feature missing from most SIEM solutions nowadays.
