Not all data deserves SIEM pricing. Cribl routes data by purpose, sending each stream to the system that needs it most — reducing costs and eliminating compliance complexity.
Real-time detection & investigation. Sentinel, XSIAM, Elastic, Splunk.
Queryable truth & analytics. Sentinel Data Lake, ADX, Snowflake, Cribl Lake.
Compliance & long-term audit. Compliance hold, legal, long-term audit trails.
Cold storage & cost control. S3, Azure Blob, Glacier, cold storage.
The four-tier framework replaces the legacy “throw everything at SIEM” approach. Cribl Stream and Lake classify data at ingestion time and route each stream to the tier that best serves its purpose. You pay premium prices only for premium use cases, while maintaining full visibility and compliance.
Paying SIEM prices for everything, even data never used for detection. Can't add destinations without re-engineering every source. Compliance data mixed with detection data in the same expensive system. Vendor lock-in forces you to keep paying for irrelevant features. No way to optimize based on actual use patterns.
Separate your system of analysis from your system or record/archive. Reduce costs to a fraction by using right-sized systems per tier. Add new destinations without touching any sources. Compliance data separated and properly tagged for audit. Vendor independence — switch systems without reconfiguring pipelines. Cost visibility by tier — know exactly what you're spending and why.
