We performed a comparison between ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) and Exabeam Fusion SIEM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Mainly, this is a cloud-native product. So, there are zero concerns about managing the whole infrastructure on-premises."
"There are some very powerful features to Sentinel, such as the integration of various connectors. We have a lot of departments that use both IaaS and SaaS services, including M365 as well as Azure services. The ability to leverage connectors into these environments allows for large-scale data injection."
"The AI capability is one of the main features of the solution because I believe that in the market, there are few solutions that are providing security solutions based on AI and machine learning."
"The solution offers a lot of data on events. It helps us create specific detection strategies."
"Sentinel is a SIEM and SOAR tool, so its automation is the best feature; we can reduce human interaction, freeing up our human resources."
"The dashboard that allows me to view all the incidents is the most valuable feature."
"We didn't have anything similar. So, it really provides value from the incidents and automation point of view. The overview of the security fabric is most valuable."
"The main benefit is the ease of integration."
"It makes maintenance very easy."
"The out-of-the-box rules that help us configure functioning rules within the environment are valuable."
"The filters and the ability to do what you want are the most valuable features. There is nothing that you cannot do in this solution. It has all the features, which makes it very dynamic."
"The webpage algorithm is the most valuable feature because it was the fastest feature for searching the logs, events, and correlation."
"For the typical malware or intrusion, this solution assists us by identifying the symptoms based on network traffic from the application servers."
"Very good real-time reporting with a good dashboard."
"It is a vital tool for live monitoring and helps us to understand the traffic alerts of any major issue on the network, thereby reducing hacking attempts."
"It gives better overall visibility. Before, we didn't have a unified system for managing security alerts. ArcSight introduced various alerts, giving us a better visibility of potential problems."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"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 way it can connect with AWS is very useful, and the integrations are pretty good."
"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."
"The setup is not difficult. It was easy."
"We've seen delays in getting the logs from third-party solutions and sometimes Microsoft products as well. It would be helpful if Microsoft created a list of the delays. That would make things more transparent for customers."
"Not all information shows up in Sentinel. Sometimes there are items provided in 365 and if you looked in Sentinel you would not see them and therefore think they do not exist. There can be discrepancies between Microsoft tools."
"They could use some kind of workbook. There is some limitation doing the editing and creating the workbook."
"For certain vendors, some of the data that Microsoft Sentinel captures is redacted due to privacy reasons."
"The interface could be more user-friendly. It''s a small improvement that they could make if they wanted to."
"It has been a challenge with Azure Sentinel to onboard the Syslog server from FortiGate. Azure Sentinel can work better on that shift between the Syslog server and a firewall."
"Sentinel should be improved with more connectors. At the moment, it only covers a few vendors. If I remember correctly, only 100 products are supported natively in Sentinel, although you can connect them with syslog. But Microsoft should increase the number of native connectors to get logs into Sentinel."
"When we pass KPIs to the governance department, there's no option to provide rights to the data or dashboard to colleagues. We can use Power BI for this, but it isn't easy or convenient. They should just come up with a way to provide limited role-based access to auditing personnel"
"The first limitation is with the ArcSight Data Storage Manager (ADSM). ArcSight's total capacity is currently capped at 12 TB. This becomes an issue if a customer needs a longer real-time data retention period, such as exceeding 90 days or reaching a year or even ten months. Increasing the disk space beyond 12 TB is not currently possible."
"The tool should improve its UI. It also should make data more searchable."
"The UI interface is somewhat complex and needs to be simplified."
"ArcSight ESM could improve the alerts for the storage capacities or actions."
"We would like the ability to easily identify either unused resources or those that are being used sub-optimally."
"They should try to include business logic vulnerabilities in the SIEM tool."
"There are several improvements that we would like to see, including: Building a system based on a log collection (SOC), a scenario for external encroachment, and Operator training."
"The solution could be more stable."
"The organzation is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate"
"They should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails."
"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."
"We still have questions surrounding hardware deployment."
"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."
"Updating the new release of Exabeam Fusion SIEM takes time and slows our performance."
"I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product."
"The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive."
