      Switching over is easy & fast – it takes hours to deploy Blumira’s SIEM platform with the team you have today.

       

      Feeling The Pain?

      Rising costs
      Costs add up quickly based on log ingestion, retention period, MDR, onboarding & training fees

      90-day data retention
      A year of data is only available in cold storage; must request downloads beyond 90 days, resulting in delayed access

      Support delays:
      Inconsistent, poor support with delayed response times & incomplete information from support agents

      “It made me very happy that the cost didn’t vary based on the amount of information sent to Blumira. There’s no storage limit; no limit on the number of records sent to the database”

      Customers Choose Blumira Over AlienVault (LevelBlue)

      Mid-Sized Healthcare Company Case study - hz
      Customer Story:

      Mid-Sized Healthcare Company

      The mid-sized healthcare company turned to Blumira’s cloud SIEM + Detection & Response to replace AlienVault USM. “Honestly, [AlienVault] was just frustrating. A lot of security engineers had issues with response times — not only with their customer service, but with running a report,” their CISO said. “Nothing is worse than the spinning wheel to make you pull your hair out. The tool had difficulty loading and it would take two days to run a report — and that’s not an exaggeration.”

      “There’s truth in Blumira’s pricing — it’s here’s what you get, and you know what you’re in for. There’s zero cost and no need to buy a module to leverage Blumira’s support. They’re an extension of our team, and our trusted partner — they’re invested in getting us to succeed,” their CISO said. “Not like AlienVault, where we were often sitting on hold or sending emails that didn’t get responded to. Phone and email was an add-on with their service. With Blumira, it’s all included.”

      Robinson, Grimes & Company

      CIO Craig Rhinehart tried out a few open-source and free solutions, including AT&T Cybersecurity (formerly AlienVault), Exabeam, FortiSIEM, Graylog, Qradar, Rapid7, Securonix, Perch Security, LogRhythm, Sumo Logic and many more.

      “After looking at Blumira’s product and demo, it became very clear right up front it was made for an organization our size with no dedicated security; no knowledge of how to tune a SIEM or tell it to look for – we don’t know those things. We got up and running with a trial pretty quickly, and it was very easy, simple and straightforward to start feeding information into Blumira.” – Craig Rhinehart, CIO, Robinson, Grimes & Company
