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.

    Cons
    Exabeam
    • More and better drop-down menus, some items in threat hunter require you know subsets.
    • Less dashboards, combine AA and DL without having separate logins.
    • More complete playbooks are already built out. You have the structure set up for templates like malware and phishing, go further and completely build them out from start to finish, most companies would just use them and not personalize their configurations.
    • Quarterly health checkup diagnostics of systems sent out to users.

    Usability
    Exabeam
    Exabeam is very good at processing lots of logs without excessive licensing costs. It has a professional support team that's very quick to resolve any issues and provides custom parsers quickly and enables our analysts to search vast data sets without having to wait long for results to be returned. The product is getting more mature with new features every major release.

    Kiwi Syslog has the best usability of any syslog server. While not being able to offer the most features, the ones it does have are intuitive and easy to work with. Everything that it has is where you think it should be. If you can't find it in the menus, it doesn't exist.

    Because the solution is so simple to use and implement, support wasn't very necessary. The one time I did call them to better understand where logs were stored, they were very helpful and friendly. Kiwi has been around for some time and not a lot has changed over the years, so support for it is pretty straightforward and quick.

    PRTG is a great package and very useful, but the jump from the free 100 sensor price model to the first tier of the paid model is WAY too expensive. SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server is very inexpensive and provides us with the results we needed for log monitoring.
