DN Danilo N. Director - Security Compliance Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 8/25/2022 "Expel is a great partner and definitely one of the strongest players in the market" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Expel? Expel workbench platform is a very comprehensive and easy-to-integrate platform, with most of the integrations natively built, requiring us to only provide credentials. On top of it, the content and correlation for the alerts is extremely rich and easy to consume by SOC engineers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Expel? Price. Expel is not the cheapest platform, and its pricing model is heavily based on resources (cloud), endpoints, etc... I think the biggest opportunity Excel has is to re-evaluate its pricing model, to serve small and medium-sized companies Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Expel solving and how is that benefiting you? Expel is amazingly covering our L1/L2 SOC needs and they are extremely responsive. The biggest benefit we get from them is the "removal" of the burden on our Sec Engineers. Our team is only engaged after a thorough triage which reduces a lot the noise and burden Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everyone at Expel is appreciative when a customer writes a recommendation — especially when it’s a great one.

LB Laura B. Senior Security Analyst Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 5/25/2022 "Brilliant service, and superb support team!" 5/5 What do you like best about Expel? Super responsive 24x7 SOC; event triage allows team to focus on the key incidents. When major threats occur, Expel shares great threat intel for awareness. Easy to use platform, good coverage of major security vendors. Really like the Slack channel setup to reach out to the team direct, and validate activity. The team at Expel are great to work with, super helpful and responsive! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Expel? I wish there were more direct integrations to their platform for full coverage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The AI used to triage all alerts helps eliminate many of the false positives and gives me confidence in the results provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Expel? l have not found anything over the last year since we started using Expel that I didn't like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Expel: The cost difference is well worth the investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Expel solving and how is that benefiting you? The biggest problem to solve was the need for eyes on our environment 24x7x365. Having a small security team makes it difficult to always be on top of issues as they arive. Having Expel watching our environment without adding alot of overhead to our environment has been paramount to our success in monitoring and catching any security events before they become a full incident.

The automations for filtering alerts from a variety of different services are excellent. The ability to submit an issue for investigation (based on user, device, etc.) and quickly see high volumes of information from multiple systems pulled together in one place speeds responsiveness tremendously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Expel? Staying on top of the growing integration set is still a little cumbersome. The onboarding didn't include an alert type-by-alert type discovery effort to determine how we wanted to handle each alert type. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Expel solving and how is that benefiting you? Assessing high volumes of alert information from various systems/solutions/technologies without having to have lots of highly skilled man hours to address. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

TTheya re very responsive to the needs of my organization. When I have a question about an alert, if they have launched an investigation or if it's one that we've launched ourselves they are willing and able to assist with resolution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Expel? Since we are not a Teams or a Slack shop, I don't get the full experience of realtime interaction with them via chat. They are responsive to emails and notify me of things that are going on still though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Expel: Expel monitors more than just alerts coming out of your EDR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Expel solving and how is that benefiting you? Expel solves the problem of me not having the staff to run a 24/7 SOC.

Great integration into the security stack, great communications through the use of Slack with their team and the use of a bot for alerts and Pager Duty for emergencies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Expel? For integrations with technologies that they didnt already have in their portfolio, it took some organizing between the different vendors to get the API connection built and we have one instance where we had a connection down for a couple of days before they realized it was on their side and they fixed it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Expel: Ease of use for your team, integrations into your security stack, integrations with your SIEM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Expel solving and how is that benefiting you?
