"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.

Response from Kaitlin Ricketts of Expel

Danilo, Thank you for your feedback! Everyone at Expel is appreciative when a customer writes a recommendation — especially when it’s a great one.

We also appreciate your candid feedback on our pricing and would welcome a conversation with you to learn more about your experience with our pricing model. We're always looking to learn and grow, and feedback from our customers is key to that journey.

"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.

"Strong technical architecture, growing set of integrations."
3.5/5
What do you like best about Expel?

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.

Response from Kaitlin Ricketts of Expel

Thank you for sharing your experience with Expel! That’s a great call out on what our bot Ruxie™ is able to add to the investigation to speed up decision making. Our SOC analysts love that feature too!

Your candid feedback is appreciated. We'd love to have a conversation with you on handling alerts and our onboarding process. Feedback from our customers is critical to optimizing the Expel Workbench™ product experience. You can connect with me at kaitlin.ricketts@expel.com and we’ll find a mutually convenient time to meet.

Thank you for being an Expel customer and look forward to connecting with you.

"Expel is truly an extension of my team"
5/5
What do you like best about Expel?

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.

"Expel is a good partner"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Expel?

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.
