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."Timeline based analysis; good platform support"
"The setup is not difficult. It was easy."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"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 user interface and the timelines they use are the most valuable features. The price model is very simple so that one can understand it easily and there are no surprises within it."
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM has a good performance and more advantages than traditional solutions."
"The advanced analytics has a really great overview of user behavior."
"It's a very user-friendly product and it's a very comprehensive technology."
"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."
"Message forwarding through the in-built module."
"Graylog's search functionality, alerting functionality, user management, and dashboards are useful."
"Real-time UDP/GELF logging and full text-based searching."
"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."
"I like the correlation and the alerting."
"UDP is a fast and lightweight protocol, perfect for sending large volumes of logs with minimal overhead."
"The best feature of Graylog is the Elasticsearch integration. We can integrate and we can run filters, such as an event of interest, and those logs we can send to any SIEM tool or as an analytic. Additionally, there are clear and well-documented implementation instructions on their website to follow if needed."
"The organzation is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate"
"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."
"We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."
"The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive."
"Adding to the number of certifications that they have, for example, ISO 27001, would be helpful."
"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."
"They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails."
"Updating the new release of Exabeam Fusion SIEM takes time and slows our performance."
"Graylog needs to improve their authentication. Also, the fact that Graylog displays logs from the top down is just ridiculous."
"Dashboards, stream alerts and parsing could be improved."
"I would like to see some kind of visualization included in Graylog."
"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."
"Lacks sufficient documentation."
"More customization is always useful."
"With technical support, you are on your own without an enterprise license."
"I would like to see a default dashboard widget that shows the topology of the clusters defined for the graylog install."
