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 solid SIEM solution that should improve technical support and online resources to be easier to use
A big problem with the product is that we don't have much professional experience in Israel installing, implementing, and integrating this product. There is not enough of a knowledge base. There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams. We like to work locally because of the language, and when the product is only supported outside the country, it's a little difficult to implement and use this product. Moreover, AI is something that must be added immediately. Artificial intelligence is a part of the competitors' products, and it's not been implemented for us.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a very user-friendly product and it's a very comprehensive technology."
"The platform is not extremely expensive compared to its direct competitors; I would rate its pricing around six out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"Valuable features are its timeline based analysis and that it's user friendly."
"Overall, this is a fantastic tool and it is one of the best SIEMs that I've come across."
"The most valuable feature of Exabeam is the timeline creation based on log sources, which helps in security investigations."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation, as it can report in real-time and monitor the management."
"The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are the alerts and correlations tools."
"Over time, NetWitness Logs and Packets has matured from a boxed solution with multiple parts to the current, more streamlined version for which we only need the software license to put it up on our own cloud and deliver it to multiple clients."
"It's fully scalable. There is no limit. Of course, the license limits per day the number of terabytes. In my opinion, it's very flexible."
"It gives customers visibility about their most important servers and devices."
"This solution has a very good dashboard with a separate tab for incidents and alerts."
"Overall, it is easy to implement."
"Since the solution has been under way we have seen a large decrease of threats and proactive reactions to incidents."
 

Cons

"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 product is good but the organization is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate."
"I tried to send an email, however, no one has replied."
"The solution's reporting and dashboarding could be improved."
"The customer service and support are not satisfactory."
"The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive."
"Exabeam's reporting dashboard could have included a filtering option to filter by the most recent detection."
"There is a lack of Indonesian support, it would benefit us to have more support for the customers."
"Its technical support could be better."
"The system architecture is complex and sometimes it’s hard to troubleshoot potential problems."
"An area for improvement would be better automation and more inbuilt use cases."
"It should have a monitoring feature. It would help us analyze the current state of attacks faster from a single platform."
"The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms."
"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets can improve the threat level aspect, it is lacking compared to other solutions."
"It is not so easy to customize this product."
"More customizability is required, which is something that they need to improve on."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license required to use Exabeam Fusion SIEM. The price of the solution should be reduced."
"They have a great model for pricing that can be based either on user count or gigabits per day."
"The solution is expensive."
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM's pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
"The new pricing and licensing mechanisms are fair. I would advise always to get the full solution (i.e., not only Logs)."
"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."
"Many clients are not able to purchase the packet capability because there is a huge amount of data, and the cost depends on the number of EPS (Events per second), as well as the number of gigabytes of data per day."
"This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
"The tool is very expensive, so I rate the pricing a ten out of ten. The solution has an annual subscription."
"We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
"We have yearly licensing costs. The license fee can be based on the volume of EPS. Some organizations may have, as a gentlemanly gesture, 10,000 EPS and get a 3,000 EPS license but actually use 5,000 EPS."
