As a SIEM tool for investigations, Exabeam is the best in class. The AI assigns numeric values to observed logs them presents high scores to the analyst in a simple dashboard. We can see what is a real threat and ignore so many false positives. Exabeam is the best SIEM was used from an alert fatigue perspective. The simple interface allows other teams not just InfoSec to utilize the tool; helpdesk for asset diagnoses, HR for staffing questions, etc.

  • System scans with Rapid7 InsightIDR can be very bandwidth-heavy on the network and system resources.

Usability
The system is set up to run out of the box. It has a simple easy to understand the graphical interface. Exabeam designed its SIEM from the ground up to be user-friendly and intuitive. They designed it to use plain text searches so no special training is needed. You do NOT have to learn another programming language and keep up with it daily to be proficient and productive with the tool, unlike all other SIEMs we have used before. Did I mention we love Exabeam?

Between Rapid7 InsightIDR and Crowdstrike, we liked Rapid7 InsightIDR due to the functionality of the system and the features Rapid7 InsightIDR has. Rapid7 InsightIDR was very easy to deploy in our environment to our endpoint devices. We like the scanning capabilities and the console we felt was very easy to use and can be easily caught up to our IT staff. Also during vulnerability scans, we felt that Rapid7 InsightIDR was able to detect more and any competitor out there.
