LogRhythm vs. Splunk

Which SIEM is right for you?

If you’re looking for a new security information and event management (SIEM) or a Splunk alternative, we understand how big of a decision it is. Learn more about the major differences when choosing LogRhythm versus Splunk.

1. Stop Overpaying for SIEM — Splunk Alternative

Avoid contract surprises. Your team needs to stay focused on protecting your company — armed with the visibility and data you need to do so effectively. You shouldn’t have to worry about how much data you’re consuming and how data fluctuation will reflect on your overall bill.

With LogRhythm, you can scale with confidence. We are the only SIEM technology provider to offer a true unlimited data plan. Pay one price (and only one price) for your entire contract. Protect your entire network — even if your data (and users, applications, and systems) changes from one year to another.

“[Splunk] becomes very expensive if you have huge logs and if the logs keep on increasing, so will the price to use this tool.”

– Ram Chuura

“Speaking of prices, [LogRhythm] has good value for the money. Security is one of the most important things today, and we are focused on offering safe and high-quality services — we can do it efficiently with this program.”

– Mike C., Data Management and Cyber Security

2. Built for Security

We know your job isn’t easy — many of us have been in the trenches or managed a SOC previously. In fact, LogRhythm was built by two guys who knew there just had to be a better way to build a SIEM solution — all the way back in 2003. And over time, that laser focus on innovating on security analytics, analyst workflows, automation and more has been unwavering.

“From the first day, LogRhythm gave us useful information. That was something Splunk could not do.”

Michael Cole, CISO

“LogRhythm are that rarest of vendors, a company where the employees live security and are passionate about their product — working with them is a pleasure.”

– Commercial Director

“LogRhythm does better event classification than any other SIEM by far. My team typically drops all classification schemes from default installations of SIEMs and then rebuilds them from scratch. I can actually use LogRhythm event classifications in rules without excessive partial matches or correlating unwanted events.”

Project Manager, Energy & Utilities
