Per-GB pricing Weeks to deploy Dedicated SIEM engineers

Stop managing your SIEM. Start driving real security outcomes.

Splunk delivers powerful analytics, but at the cost of complexity, high licensing fees, and significant operational overhead. Blumira provides unified visibility with built-in endpoint and identity threat detection and response (EDR + ITDR) so you can investigate and stop threats quickly without the need for dedicated SIEM engineers or added complexity.

4 hrsaverage deployment, compared to weeks or months on Splunk

99%alert noise reduction without writing or tuning correlation rules

30 minaverage weekly management, no dedicated SIEM engineer

Day 1 to first detection

Two SIEMs. Two deployment timelines.

SPLUNK weeks to months

4 hours

Both teams start the same day. Blumira detects its first threat before Splunk's infrastructure is even configured.

The reality of Splunk

Power, paid for in time.

Splunk is one of the most well-known SIEM platforms on the market. But for most organizations, especially lean IT teams and MSPs, that power comes with significant complexity and cost.

What consumes a Splunk team's effort

Four overheads. One sliver of detection.

Ingestion mgmt

Deployment

Engineer ops

Tuning + SPL

Detecting threats

01

Ingestion-based pricing

Costs increase as data volume grows, forcing teams to limit data collection or face higher costs.

02

Complex deployment

Requires significant planning, configuration, and tuning that can take weeks or months.

03

High operational overhead

Requires dedicated SIEM engineers and ongoing maintenance to remain effective.

04

Manual detection and investigation

Requires building and tuning correlation rules, with investigations driven by manual queries.

THE RESULT

Teams spend more time managing Splunk than detecting and responding to real threats.

The alternative

Security outcomes without the Splunk overhead.

Blumira replaces complex SIEM workflows with a unified platform built for speed, simplicity, and real-world operations. Instead of managing infrastructure, writing rules, and tuning alerts, you get full visibility, automated detection, and built-in response so you can investigate and stop threats faster with less effort.

01 / Unified visibility

Unified visibility across your environment

See activity across logs, endpoints, cloud applications, and identity in one place.

02 / Detection beyond logs

Detection beyond logs

Built-in endpoint and identity threat detection (EDR + ITDR) to catch what traditional SIEM tools miss.

03 / No tuning required

No tuning required

Pre-built detections maintained by security experts.

04 / Guided response

Guided response built into every workflow

Take action immediately with built-in automation.

05 / Predictable pricing

Predictable pricing, no data limits

User-based pricing with unlimited data ingestion.

06 / Expert support

Expert-backed support

Fast, responsive guidance from security professionals.

Capability by capability

Blumira vs Splunk.

Eight capabilities every modern SIEM is expected to deliver. Here's where each platform lands.

Capability	Blumira	Splunk
Pricing Model	Predictable, user-based, unlimited data	Ingestion-based, cost increases with data
Deployment Time	Hours	Weeks to months
Data Visibility	Full environment, cloud, identity, endpoints, network, logs	Depends on ingestion and configuration
Detection Setup	Pre-built, auto-enabled	Requires rule creation and tuning
Alert Noise	Low, high-fidelity detections	High
Response	Built-in guided response + automation	Manual investigation or custom workflows
Operational Effort	Low, around 30 minutes per week	High, dedicated SIEM engineers required
Time to Value	Immediate	Delayed

The shift

From managing the tool to managing the threat.

With Splunk, teams invest significant time and resources into managing infrastructure, tuning detections, and writing queries. Blumira shifts that focus back to what matters most: detecting, investigating, and responding to threats quickly.

The Blumira approach

Outcomes from day one.

Delivers immediate value on Day 1

Pre-built detections and integrations provide immediate visibility.
Reduces operational overhead

Manage security in as little as 30 minutes per week.

The Splunk approach

Outcomes after the buildout.

Requires significant buildout

Security value depends on configuration and tuning.
Requires ongoing investment

Infrastructure, engineering, and tuning increase total cost of ownership.

The proof

Built for teams that need results, not more work.

0hrs

Deploy in hours, not months.

Splunkweeks to months of planning, configuration, and tuning.

0%

Reduce alert noise by up to 99%.

Splunkhigh noise floor, manual tuning required to bring it down.

0min

Splunksupport tickets routed through tiered enterprise channels.

0min/wk
