The Agentic SOC Alternative to Exabeam
Exabeam scores user risk and generates timelines for analyst review. ManySignal's agents go further — rendering verdicts, building evidence packages, and closing alerts without waiting for human review.
Head-to-head breakdown
ManySignal vs Exabeam
| Capability | ManySignal | Exabeam |
|---|---|---|
Agentic AI that closes alerts autonomously Exabeam UEBA scores risk but still queues alerts for human analysts. ManySignal agents render and act on verdicts without human handoff. | ||
No legacy SIEM dependency Exabeam is sold as an add-on or replacement for SIEMs. ManySignal is a complete SOC platform — no SIEM layer required. | ||
Real-time cloud detection ManySignal treats cloud API telemetry as first-class. Exabeam UEBA was originally built for on-prem log data. | ||
Built-in case management ManySignal includes a native case queue with AI-generated evidence summaries. Exabeam Smart Timeline is read-only context. | ||
SOAR automation without separate license ManySignal includes response automation. Exabeam requires a separate SOAR platform. | ||
Predictable entity-based pricing Exabeam pricing can be complex with user/device tiers. ManySignal is per protected entity. | ||
Multi-cloud and SaaS detection parity ManySignal has 150+ connectors with equal coverage depth across cloud, identity, and SaaS. | ||
Open detection language (Sigma) ManySignal uses portable Sigma rules. Exabeam uses proprietary rule formats. |

ManySignal vs Exabeam: frequently asked questions
What is the core difference between ManySignal and Exabeam?
Exabeam is a UEBA and analytics platform that adds behavioural risk scoring on top of a SIEM. ManySignal is an agentic SOC platform — AI agents actively investigate and close alerts rather than scoring them for human review. ManySignal replaces both the SIEM and SOAR layers that Exabeam works alongside.
Does ManySignal have UEBA capabilities?
Yes. ManySignal's entity graph and behavioural analytics layer provides UEBA-equivalent capabilities: peer group baselining, anomalous access detection, and user risk scoring. These are built into the core platform, not a separate module.
Can ManySignal ingest the same data sources as Exabeam?
Yes. ManySignal supports 150+ connectors covering all major log sources that Exabeam supports — Active Directory, Okta, Office 365, CrowdStrike, Splunk, and more.
How does Exabeam Smart Timeline compare to ManySignal investigations?
Exabeam Smart Timeline is a chronological view of events for a user session. ManySignal's investigation workspace is an AI-generated evidence bundle across multiple entities (user, device, IP, application) with a verdict confidence score and recommended actions.
What happens to our Exabeam correlation rules during migration?
Exabeam uses a proprietary rule format. ManySignal's migration team analyses your existing rules and recreates equivalent logic in Sigma format, supplemented by ManySignal's 600+ shipped detection library.
Is Exabeam's risk score equivalent to ManySignal's confidence score?
Exabeam produces a risk score for each user session. ManySignal produces a confidence score for each specific alert verdict — along with the evidence chain that justifies the verdict. This is more actionable than a session-level risk score.
Does ManySignal replace the SIEM that Exabeam typically sits alongside?
Yes. ManySignal is the primary data ingestion, detection, triage, and investigation platform. Organisations using Exabeam alongside Splunk or QRadar typically replace both with ManySignal.
How does migration from Exabeam work?
Standard migration: 2 weeks for connector setup, 30 days parallel running, then cutover. The main migration effort is recreating Exabeam detection rules in Sigma format and validating detection coverage against your baseline alert types.
Does ManySignal have Exabeam's insider threat detection capabilities?
Yes. ManySignal's entity graph correlates HR system data, access logs, DLP events, and endpoint telemetry for insider threat detection — covering the same use cases as Exabeam UEBA's insider threat module.
Can we use ManySignal alongside our existing SIEM during evaluation?
Yes. Many evaluation deployments run ManySignal as a secondary detection layer initially, ingesting the same log sources. This lets you compare detection quality and analyst experience without disrupting the existing environment.
