We performed a comparison between Exabeam Fusion SIEM and Graylog based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is the easy-to-use user interface."
"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."
"The setup is not difficult. It was easy."
"Timeline based analysis; good platform support"
"It's a very user-friendly product and it's a very comprehensive technology."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The way it can connect with AWS is very useful, and the integrations are pretty good."
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM has a good performance and more advantages than traditional solutions."
"We're using the Community edition, but I know that it has really good dashboarding and alerts."
"Storing logs in Elasticsearch means log retrieval is extremely fast, and full text search is available by default."
"This had increased productivity for the dev and support teams, because we are directly notifying them."
"Real-time UDP/GELF logging and full text-based searching."
"It is used as a log manager/SIEM. It provides visibility into the infrastructure and security related events."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its new interface."
"We have scaled from a single machine installation (a VM with a Graylog + ES + MongoDB) to (2 Graylog + 2 ES + 3 MongoDB). This was done smoothly with a minimal impact on logging."
"What I like about Graylog is that it's real-time and you have access to the raw data. So, you ingest it, and you have access to every message and every data item you ingest. You can then build analytics on top of that. You can look at the raw data, and you can do some volumetric estimations, such as how big traffic you have, how many messages of data of a type you have, etc."
"They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails."
"We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."
"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."
"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 initial setup of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is complex because it needs to integrate with the SIEM solution, but after this is complete it is straightforward."
"The organzation is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate"
"Updating the new release of Exabeam Fusion SIEM takes time and slows our performance."
"We ran into problems with Elasticsearch throwing a circuit-breaking exception due to field data size being too large. It turned out that the heap size directly impacted this size in a high-throughput environment, causing unexplained instability in Graylog. We were able to troubleshoot on the Elasticsearch size, but we should have been able to reference some minimum requirements for Graylog to know that our settings weren't sufficient."
"Since container orchestration systems are popular and Graylog fits the niche well, perhaps they could officially support running in docker containers on Kubernetes as a StatefulSet as a use case. That way, the declarative nature of Kubernetes config files would document their best case deployment scenario-"
"Graylog can improve the index rotation as it's quite a complex solution."
"I would like to see some kind of visualization included in Graylog."
"More complex visualizations and the ability to execute custom Elasticsearch queries would be great."
"The biggest problem is the collector application, as we wanted to avoid using Graylog Collector Sidecar due to its architecture."
"The infrastructure cost is the main issue. I like the rest. If the infrastructure costs could be lower, it would be fantastic."
"I would like to see a date and time in the Graylog Grok patterns so that I can save time when searching for a log. I like how the streams and the search query work, but adding a date and time will allow me to pull out a log in a milli-second."
