We performed a comparison between Datadog and Exabeam Fusion SIEM 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 features have been: Sharable dashboards, TimeBoards, dogstatsd API, Slack Integration, Event logging API. CloudTrail Events, Tags, alerts, and anomaly detection. EBS Volume Snapshot Age, which they added upon request."
"We have a better grasp of what is occurring during the deployment cycle. If something fails, we have an idea what has failed, where it has failed, and how it failed to better mitigate the situation."
"The observability pipelines are the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"Anything I've wanted to do, I found a way to get it done through Datadog."
"The most valuable features of Datadog are the flexibility and additional features when compared to other solutions, such as AppDynamics and Dynatrace. Some of the features include AI and ML capabilities and cloud and analysis monitoring"
"Even if we don't end up using Datadog, it revealed problems and optimizations to us that weren't obvious before."
"Its logs are most valuable."
"Since we integrated Datadog, we have had increased confidence in the quality of our service, and we had an easier time increasing our delivery velocity."
"The advanced analytics has a really great overview of user behavior."
"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."
"Timeline based analysis; good platform support"
"The setup is not difficult. It was easy."
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM has a good performance and more advantages than traditional solutions."
"It's a very user-friendly product and it's a very comprehensive technology."
"The way it can connect with AWS is very useful, and the integrations are pretty good."
"The most valuable feature of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is the easy-to-use user interface."
"We have asked technical support questions, and sometimes they don't get back to us right away. Or when they do, it is not the right answer."
"For three to four months, we have been experiencing real-time delays. For example, if we're monitoring incoming traffic, the real-time status should be displayed up to a certain point. However, due to delays or issues with Datadog, the real-time data might only be updated at an earlier time. We are experiencing consistent delays in data updates from Datadog, with the most recent data often being delayed by about an hour. This issue has been ongoing for the past four months."
"Its pricing model can be improved. Its settings should be improved for a better understanding of billing. They should also provide some alerts when there is an increase in the usage. For example, if there is 20% more increase from one week to another, the customer should get an alert."
"It can have an artificial intelligence component. Even though I can seamlessly look at end-to-end security, it would be better to have alerts and notifications powered by an AI engine. I am not sure if they have an AI component. We have not reached out to them or looked at it, but this is something that I keep on talking about within our company in terms of features. Such a feature would be good to have, and it would further optimize my Security Ops team's abilities."
"The product could do better with its notifications."
"I think better access to their engineers when we have a problem could be better."
"The product is quite complex, and there are so many features that I either didn't know about or wasn't sure how to use."
"Once agents are connected to the Datadog portal, we should be able to upgrade them quickly."
"The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Adding to the number of certifications that they have, for example, ISO 27001, would be helpful."
"They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails."
"We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."
