- Exabeam New-Scale Fusion
Best for: SOC teams wanting behavioral analytics with deep log parser coverage
The trade-off is that Exabeam is less well-known than Splunk or Sentinel, which means a smaller community, fewer third-party integrations outside its own library, and potentially more difficulty hiring analysts with prior Exabeam experience. The 195 pre-built correlation rules is also a smaller out-of-the-box detection library than Splunk's 1,700-plus, so teams that rely heavily on vendor-provided content will need to supplement with custom rules or community sources.

- Microsoft Sentinel
Best for: Companies already running Microsoft
It earns its place because SIEM, SOAR, behavior analytics and a data lake come as one cloud service, so you do not stitch them together yourself. That suits any size, from SMB to enterprise, and it is the natural pick if Defender already runs your endpoints. If most of your stack is not Microsoft, check which of your key sources sit among the 350 connectors before you commit.
