Are you looking for a new SIEM vendor?

LogRhythm merged with Exabeam in July 2024, and the combined company now operates under the Exabeam brand. The LogRhythm domain redirects to Exabeam, and the legacy LogRhythm SIEM product is being phased out in favor of Exabeam's New-Scale cloud platform. Industry reports (CRN, SC Media, 2024) documented significant workforce reductions following the merger.

Yes, if your LogRhythm renewal is within 12 months. Exabeam's roadmap calls for sunsetting the legacy SIEM in favor of their New-Scale cloud platform. Customers who wait will migrate under pressure rather than on their own schedule. That migration is not a minor upgrade. It is effectively a rip-and-replace. Starting now gives you control over the timeline. Blumira deploys in a single afternoon, not months, so the transition window is significantly shorter than moving to another enterprise SIEM.

LogRhythm's perpetual license started at approximately $2,000/year with per-MPS costs around $10/MPS (per vendor documentation). The current Exabeam platform starts at $250/user/year with a $75,000/year minimum for Fusion (per G2 and vendor data). Blumira uses flat-rate pricing per employee with unlimited data ingestion, so you are never penalized for collecting more data. There are no hidden costs for additional log sources, and 1 year of searchable log retention.

Blumira does not directly import LogRhythm correlation rules or detection logic. Instead, Blumira's security operations team reviews your existing rule set, maps your detection coverage against Blumira's pre-built detection library, and builds custom rules to fill any gaps. This is a hands-on migration assist, not a self-service import tool. The goal is detection continuity from the first day on Blumira.

Most Blumira deployments complete in a single afternoon, compared to the weeks or months typical of a LogRhythm on-premises deployment. The platform uses pre-built integrations for common log sources and does not require extensive professional services to get running. Blumira's 24/7 SecOps team supports you through onboarding and ongoing tuning.

Blumira pairs cloud SIEM and XDR with a 24/7 security operations team that triages alerts, writes detection rules, and provides guided response playbooks alongside automated response actions. LogRhythm was primarily a self-managed platform where your team handled all detection engineering and incident response. Blumira's automated response actions can contain threats in real time rather than just documenting what happened after the fact. Blumira also offers unlimited data ingestion at a flat rate, eliminating the MPS-based pricing model that made LogRhythm costs hard to forecast.

If your security team needs in-platform query customization to write and manage detection rules using your own query syntax, Blumira does not offer that level of in-platform control. Blumira partners on custom detection requests, but teams that want full query-language access will find that limiting. Blumira also does not include NDR or built-in vulnerability management. Organizations without dedicated security staff can also deploy Blumira through an MSP partner who manages the platform on their behalf.

Yes. LogRhythm's existing customer base faces uncertainty, as Exabeam's roadmap prioritizes their own cloud platform (New-Scale) over the legacy LogRhythm SIEM. Common concerns include product roadmap uncertainty, reduced support quality post-layoffs, and being forced onto a platform they did not originally choose. Robinson, Grimes & Company's CIO evaluated LogRhythm, Exabeam, QRadar, Rapid7, FortiSIEM, AlienVault, and 4 other vendors over a full year before choosing Blumira, citing that most were too complex for a team without dedicated security staff (blumira.com/blog/robinson-grimes-company). Organizations in this situation typically prioritize fast deployment and predictable pricing, both of which are core to Blumira's model.
