We performed a comparison between Exabeam Fusion SIEM and ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer 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 solution has features that helped improve the security posture of our clients. It provides the ability to correlate a large variety of log sources very cost-effectively, especially for Microsoft sources."
"We can use Sentinel's playbook to block threats. It covers all of the environment, giving us great visibility."
"The solution offers a lot of data on events. It helps us create specific detection strategies."
"The most valuable features in my experience are the UEBA, LDAP, the threat scheduler, and integration with third-party straight perform like the MISP."
"The product can integrate with any device."
"Sentinel's most important feature is the ability to centralize all the logs in one place. There's no need to search multiple systems for information."
"It is easy to implement (turn on) - does need a skilled analyst to develop queries and playbooks."
"One of the most valuable features is that it creates a kind of a single pane of glass for organizations that already use Microsoft software. So, when they have things like Microsoft 365, it is very easy for them to kind of plug in or enroll those endpoints into the Azure Sentinel service."
"The setup is not difficult. It was easy."
"The most valuable feature of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is the easy-to-use user interface."
"The way it can connect with AWS is very useful, and the integrations are pretty good."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"Timeline based analysis; good platform support"
"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 advanced analytics has a really great overview of user behavior."
"The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration."
"The reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports"
"The tool's reports show activities."
"The initial setup is straightforward"
"It is stable."
"What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications. It seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial. I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."
"They need to work with other security vendors. For example, we replaced our email gateway with Symantec, but we couldn't collect these logs with Azure Sentinel. Instead of collecting these logs with Azure Sentinel, we are collecting them on Qradar. We couldn't do it with Sentinel, which is a problem for us."
"The following would be a challenge for any product in the market, but we have some in-house apps in our environment... our apps were built with different parameters and the APIs for them are not present in Sentinel. We are working with Microsoft to build those custom APIs that we require. That is currently in progress."
"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."
"Sentinel's alerts and notifications are not fully optimized for mobile devices. The overall reporting and the analytics processes for the end user should also be improved. Also, the compatibility and availability of data sources and reports are not always perfect."
"Microsoft should improve Sentinel, considering that from the legacy systems, it cannot collect logs."
"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."
"At the network level, there is a limitation in integrating some of the switches or routers with Microsoft Sentinel. Currently, SPAN traffic monitoring is not available in Microsoft Sentinel. I have heard that it is available in Defender for Identity, which is a different product. It would be good if LAN traffic monitoring or SPAN traffic monitoring is available in Microsoft Sentinel. It would add a lot of value. It is available in some of the competitor products in the market."
"We're satisfied with the comprehensiveness of the security protection. That said, we do have issues sometimes where there have been global outages and we need to raise a ticket with Microsoft."
"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."
"I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product."
"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 should provide detailed information about detecting phishing emails."
"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."
"Adding to the number of certifications that they have, for example, ISO 27001, would be helpful."
"Updating the new release of Exabeam Fusion SIEM takes time and slows our performance."
"There's a lot to improve in terms of connectivity. Currently, we're utilizing it across various infrastructures and environments, including others' cloud. However, connecting it to our infrastructure and integrating it with some of our SMAX solutions poses difficulties."
"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities."
"Support could improve to make the solution better."
"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better."
"The scalability is limited."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
