About Exabeam

Exabeam provides security software that uses AI and behavioral analytics to help teams detect, investigate, and respond to threats.

How to evaluate SIEM & SOAR

This is how the CIOPages Research Team evaluates this category. It is not an assessment of Exabeam. The category covers two kinds of product, so both frameworks are here. Most buyers need one of them.

Security Orchestration & Automation (SOAR)

25%

Integration Coverage & Quality

Pre-built connectors for your actual SIEM, EDR/XDR, identity, ticketing, email, and cloud tools — not the raw marketplace count; bidirectional actions (not read-only), API depth for the tools with no pack, version-pinning, and how connectors behave when a vendor API changes underneath them

20%

Playbook Authoring & Maintenance Burden

No/low-code visual builder vs. code-required, reusable sub-playbooks and modular components, version control and testing/staging, the real skill profile needed to build and (critically) maintain workflows, and how gracefully a broken playbook fails rather than silently dropping incidents

20%

Agentic AI & Alert Triage

AI-assisted playbook generation from natural language, autonomous Tier-1 investigation and enrichment, alert correlation and case summarization, model grounding/guardrails, and — non-negotiable — a human-approval gate before any AI-driven containment or remediation runs against production

15%

Case Management & Investigation

Case wall / war-room collaboration, auto-documentation of every action for audit and handoff, evidence and timeline capture, SLA tracking and metrics (MTTD/MTTR), and whether case management is native or bolted on from a separate ticketing tool

10%

Platform Fit & Deployment Model

Embedded-in-SIEM/XDR vs. independent fabric, SaaS vs. self-hosted vs. air-gapped options, multi-tenancy and tenant isolation for MSSPs, scale under alert bursts, and exit cost / portability of your playbook IP if you switch platforms

10%

Security, RBAC & Compliance

RBAC and SSO/SAML on the automation console itself, secrets/credential vaulting for the privileged actions playbooks take, immutable audit logging, and certifications (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001) — a SOAR holds keys to your whole stack, so its own blast radius matters

SIEM & Security Analytics

30%

Detection & Analytics

MITRE ATT&CK coverage, behavioral analytics (UEBA), ML detection models, custom detection rules, threat intelligence integration

20%

Investigation & Hunting

Search performance (sub-second on TB-scale data), visual investigation tools, threat hunting notebooks, AI-assisted investigation

20%

Response & Orchestration

Built-in SOAR capabilities, playbook automation, bidirectional integration with EDR/firewall/IAM, case management

15%

Data Management

Log source coverage (500+ integrations), parsing and normalization, data tiering (hot/warm/cold), compliance retention

15%

Scalability & Cost

Ingestion pricing model, elastic scaling, multi-tenant support, data filtering/routing, cost per GB ingested

Related Buyer Guides

Our buyer guides across Cybersecurity. Each one compares the main vendors in its category and what buyers weigh up.

API Security Platforms

The API is now the primary attack surface, and a WAF pointed at it isn't API security. Evaluate Salt, Akamai (Noname), Imperva, F5, Traceable, Wallarm, Cequence, and Data Theorem on whether they actually discover your shadow APIs and catch BOLA and business-logic abuse at runtime — not just sign endpoints off as “protected.”

Attack Surface Management (ASM / CTEM)

Evaluate Wiz, CrowdStrike Falcon Surface, Microsoft Defender EASM, Cortex Xpanse, Censys, CyCognito, Tenable, and runZero across EASM, CAASM, and platform-embedded camps — judged on discovery accuracy and how cleanly the surface feeds prioritization, not how many assets it claims to find.

Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)

Evaluate Netskope, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, Zscaler, and Palo Alto for SaaS security, shadow IT discovery, and data protection.
