We performed a comparison between Exabeam Fusion SIEM and Splunk Enterprise Security 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.
"Sentinel has an intuitive, user-friendly way to visualize the data properly. It gives me a solid overview of all the logs. We get a more detailed view that I can't get from the other SIEM tools. It has some IP and URL-specific allow listing"
"The main benefit is the ease of integration."
"Sentinel uses Azure Logic Apps for automation, which is really powerful. This allows us to easily automate responses to incidents."
"In Azure Sentinel, we have found, they do have a store in their capability. AI and intelligence features. We found that to be very helpful for us because some other things we do need to integrate again or find another vendor for the store"
"Mainly, this is a cloud-native product. So, there are zero concerns about managing the whole infrastructure on-premises."
"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."
"Previously, it was a little bit difficult to find where an incident came from, including which IP address and which country. So in Sentinel, it's very easy to find where the incident came from since we can easily get the information from the dashboard, after which we take action quickly."
"Native integration with Microsoft security products or other Microsoft software is also crucial. For example, we can integrate Sentinel with Office 365 with one click. Other integrations aren't as easy. Sometimes, we have to do it manually."
"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 setup is not difficult. It was easy."
"The advanced analytics has a really great overview of user behavior."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The most valuable feature of Exabeam Fusion SIEM is the easy-to-use user interface."
"The product has a good security posture."
"Splunk has give us the capability to easily track problems and their status."
"Splunk is a user-friendly solution."
"The most valuable features of Splunk Enterprise Security are its high-performance data collection, flexible query language, and its versatility across the organization."
"Splunk is extremely flexible, which allows us to create custom visualizations along with other customizations."
"We are using Microsoft 365 and we're using the Exchange Mail Service. It's good for monitoring that in particular."
"We have found all the features useful. However, the dashboarding and logging have been very helpful. Additionally, the log analysis does a great job."
"The solution has plenty of features that are good."
"The AI capabilities must be improved."
"Only one thing is missing: NDR is not available out-of-the-box. The competitive cloud-native SIEM providers have the NDR component. Currently, Sentinel needs NDR to be powered from either Corelight or some other NDR provider."
"They only classify alerts into three categories: high, medium, and low. So, from the user's point of view, having another critical category would be awesome."
"The learning curve could be improved. I am still learning it. We were able to implement the basic features to get them up and running, but there are still so many things that I don't know about all its features. They have a lot of features that we have not been able to use or apply. If they could work on reducing the solution's learning curve, that would be good. While there is a training course held by Microsoft to learn more about this solution, there is a cost associated with it."
"They could use some kind of workbook. There is some limitation doing the editing and creating the workbook."
"The playbook development environment is not as rich as it should be. There are multiple occasions when we face problems while creating the playbook."
"The on-prem log sources still require a lot of development."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I believe if it were more flexible it would be a better product."
"Updating the new release of Exabeam Fusion SIEM takes time and slows our performance."
"The only problem is that the UI is not very impressive."
"The organzation is rigid and not flexible in the way they operate"
"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."
"It is important to make sure that everything is built off of the threat models and all the underlying items within Splunk."
"Splunk could have more built-in use case presets that customers can build on and customize."
"The GUI can be improved. Splunk has always suffered from having a kind of goofy UI, it needs some updating."
"Free-floating panels in the dashboards are like a glass table."
"It needs a better way to export dynamic views without requiring a ton of code and user/pw."
"Splunk Enterprise Security should provide a better and richer integration."
"It will be helpful for customers if they can create some real-world cases, and we can find a case study to align with. I know that Splunk has tremendous potential. We only include a tiny piece of it. There is a lot of stuff that we need to learn. If Splunk can provide more real-time examples, that will be helpful for customers."
"Most of my interaction is with the user community, which is how Splunk wants it. When I need help, that community is very hit or miss."
