Good filtering and reporting tools but can be difficult to use
It can scale as needed. It's not a problem. There are different teams using it. We have CSOC, which is internal, which is onshore, then we have a security operations center that is offshore, which would be in India. The onshore team might be a group of three, and the offshore might be a group of five. Likely, we have eight to ten people in total using the product directly.

Security Specialist - UEBA SIEM Admin at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Smooth and fast search capabilities with customizable dashboards enhance user experience
For improvement, I have requested three enhancement tickets, which are already lodged with the Gurucul support team. The first request is to add a visualization option in reports for charts or graphs. I have also requested new dashboard features. In the query box, there's a bug where taking an attribute at the end does not return data, but placing it elsewhere does. The support system could be more equipped.

"This is a very stable solution. It is the most stable ESM that I have worked with."
"The data collection and the integration with different products are valuable features."
"The stability of the solution is perfect."
"If you are genuinely looking for a UEBA solution, you should choose Gurucul confidently if your need is strictly UEBA."

"The reporting feature was the key differentiator, and I also liked the ability to create dynamic rules in the environment."
"The most valuable feature of Gurucul is the ability to customize and it is on the Hadoop platform that has a lot of flexibility."
 

Cons

"Customer service has not been up to the mark. They take longer than they should to resolve issues."
"The UX for the SOC analyst does not match that of the competitors, and therefore needs improvement."
"There is a GUI, but it is not complete and lacks functionality that needs to be performed using the console."
"The GUI interface is not always intuitive and easy for non-technical users to work with."
"You can use this solution for limited use cases. But for more advanced use cases, there are other solutions which are better than ArcSight."
"The interactive dashboard is more complicated comparing to his concurrent Qradar and you need to have training in order to do complexe configuration, so I think that it could be made easier to use."
"The GUI and dashboards are very basic and need to be improved."
"I would like to see orchestration."

"Regarding the prioritization of threats, Gurucul UEBA needs to enhance its alert severity assignment process within the system."
"Gurucul can improve on the online documentation. They should educate the end users more to allow them to do everything themselves."
