Pros
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM has a good performance and more advantages than traditional solutions.""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.""It's a very user-friendly product and it's a very comprehensive technology.""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 solution's initial setup process is easy.""The way it can connect with AWS is very useful, and the integrations are pretty good.""Timeline based analysis; good platform support""The most valuable feature of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is the easy-to-use user interface."

"It is very scalable.""We have found all the features useful. However, the dashboarding and logging have been very helpful. Additionally, the log analysis does a great job.""It is user-friendly. It is more effective than other solutions. The support and help for troubleshooting and the documentation from Splunk make it very effective.""There are a lot of third-party applications that can be installed.""Without Splunk Enterprise Security, it would be difficult for us to manage and prioritize alerts. There's a potential to lose track of important notifications, and it's essential to our security that we do not miss anything. Splunk has improved our investigations because the reporting and dashboarding make things so much easier. We can provide weekly or monthly reports. I also like Splunk's ability to integrate.""The metrics and trends that Splunk Enterprise Security generates using all the data points we send allow customers to understand better what their users are doing.""It is a one stop shop as a full monitoring and alerting solution for operations and application analysis for most of our back-end systems.""The most valuable features for us include its robust log management capabilities, which allow us to efficiently handle and retain logs for extended periods as needed."

Cons
"They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails.""Adding to the number of certifications that they have, for example, ISO 27001, would be helpful.""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.""I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product.""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.""We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment.""Updating the new release of Exabeam Fusion SIEM takes time and slows our performance.""The organzation is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate"

More Exabeam Fusion SIEM Cons →

"It can be tough to get a hold of somebody in technical support depending on the complexity of the issue.""Splunk should have more regional data centers in the Middle East.""There can be a bit of complexity around some fields during the initial setup.""Splunk is not very user-friendly. It has a complex architecture in comparison to other solutions on the market.""Splunk could have more built-in use case presets that customers can build on and customize.""Many of my clients want to get better at Splunk, but they're afraid of using the tool because they feel it's too complex for them.""The price of the solution could be cheaper.""Writing queries is a bit complicated sometimes."
