Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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.""The way it can connect with AWS is very useful, and the integrations are pretty good.""The solution's initial setup process is easy.""The most valuable feature of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is the easy-to-use user interface."

"It's easy to build rules and actions based on the logs and event types we collect with the software.""The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Security Event Manager is the analysis and the knowledge about the incidence that we trace.""The most valuable feature is the ease of use for the end user.""We did previously use a different solution, but SolarWinds is much better. It's easy to interact with SolarWinds. It's easy to operate, easy to configure and is generally easier compared to what we were working with before.""Some of the rules are most valuable because you can be notified about various things, such as spyware or things that are going on in the internal network.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the visibility into both attempted and failed logins.""This tool is simple to use.""SolarWinds is easy to configure, and it provides timely alerts."

Cons
"Updating the new release of Exabeam Fusion SIEM takes time and slows our performance.""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.""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""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."

More Exabeam Fusion SIEM Cons →

"I don't think SolarWinds is scalable enough. It is somewhat limited when I need to deploy it across multiple environments in a distributed architecture.""It can be difficult for users who are inexperienced with the solution.""The only issue is the pricetag. SolarWinds is a costly solution.""The reporting could be more robust. It can be a lot more granular and that will make it a lot more useful in comparison to how it is incorporated at the moment.""SolarWinds should improve its correlation capabilities. The correlation does not automatically detect and reduce the events fast enough. You have to manually do a correlation report, which means the tool is not scalable in many ways.""It won't tell you when your backups are failing, but it will give you hints when your database is running on full recovery.""We used the support from SolarWinds Security Event Manager and they are knowledgeable but challenging to get in contact with them.""We'd like more customization capabilities."
