What do you like best about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

Blumira can connect to most cloud environments to monitor activity there as well as down to the network and endpoints. Very easy to push the agents out and to connect APIs. And the alerts focus on areas that matter to me so that I can make the adjustments necessary. It is pretty straightforward to fine tune rules so that you only see what matters most. And I like that I can get alerts via email, text, chat or any method that makes sense. The support teams are very engaging and helpful and onboarding was great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

The UI is not super intuitive, but it's navigable. Some features require an upgrade to a more premium level that may not be effective for all users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blumira Automated Detection & Response solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our main concern was being able to monitor logs and devices as a small business with a small IT/security team - 2 people. Blumira was priced just right and has support for all of our devices and cloud environments. As such, we were able to onboard quickly our AWS and O365 environments as well as putting agents on endpoints and EC2s. Right away we started getting alerts that were helpful in closing security gaps. As a monitoring and detection tool, collecting logs and alerting on things that matter, this is as good as I've seen in a price range appropriate for small businesses.

What do you like best about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

It has been great with it's detection rules always letting me know if new inbox email rules have been created and if new apps have been allowed access to my MS 365 environment. It also does a great job of logging all activity in MS 365 such as SharePoint usage, Security info like logins and other security threats, Exchange online info and more. It is simple to use and let's me review alerts and let it know if they are expected results or if there was an actual security incident which helps keep track of what is going on and learn what is normal and what is not in our IT environment. Overall I think it is a great product and would highly recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

I wish it had Integrations with more of the IT platforms that I use. There are a couple of major platforms I use that it does not have integrations for, so I can not use it to grab logs from those two platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blumira Automated Detection & Response solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is solving me not knowing in a timely manner if there have been potential security incidents. It prevents me from having to manually check logs many times a day. It also saves me time in researching how to respond to threats as it gives recommendations on the spot on resolving if needed. Overall it gives me the visibility and alerts I need to help keep my MS 365 environment secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

As soon as, I got it loggin our info it started alerting me to findings. I did not have to setup alerts. The Solutions Architech gave me recommendations and sugestions. The SA also checked my environment with a scan and setup a report I was looking for. Things not being reported are put in to be added. I feel like I have another employee watching security for us. This is great for a small organization. I love the add note and alert support, which opens a ticket for Blumira support. I received an email form support very quickly after opening a ticket. The report builder is very easy, once the SA shold me a few thing, to extract the info I need. Blumira easliy integrated into my environment of MS 365 and Azure. I use it contantly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

We only got 50 agents with our level of protection and later I learned that it is best for all deives to have the agent running on them. I will either have to monitor which devices get the agent or upgrade to more agaents at a cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blumira Automated Detection & Response solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

Super easy to setup and use. There is good monitoring, it has decent reporting. I do like the ability to link O365, and other cloud platforms as we are a fully SaaS based company. Their customer support is good, and has explained a lot. We access this more than once a week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

I think they do not provide enough of the core options in their free or lower tier. what they charge for higher tiers can be pricy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blumira Automated Detection & Response solving and how is that benefiting you?

Initially it was telling us more around the O365 platform. Examples are when users are logging in outside the country. That is a massivly useful report. The automated reporting is critical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

This is perhaps Blumira's strongest selling point. Integrating with core services like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, popular EDRs (e.g., SentinelOne, CrowdStrike), firewalls, and cloud environments (AWS, Azure) is remarkably straightforward, often taking minutes rather than days or weeks. The agentless setup for many cloud sources simplifies the process immensely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

While the ease of use is a strength, it inherently means less granular control for highly skilled security architects or large enterprises with very specific, unique threat modeling needs. Custom rule creation is present but might feel less flexible compared to open-ended SIEMs like Splunk or Elastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blumira Automated Detection & Response solving and how is that benefiting you?

Traditional security tools (like raw SIEMs) often flood IT teams with endless alerts, many of which are irrelevant, low-priority, or false positives. This leads to "alert fatigue," where crucial threats get missed amidst the noise, and legitimate incidents aren't addressed promptly.

Blumira significantly cuts down on noise by having pre-tuned detections and a human review component (Blumira's security operations team). Instead of spending hours sifting through countless alerts, I receive clear, contextualized, and actionable alerts for real threats. This allows my team to focus on legitimate security incidents, reducing stress and improving overall effectiveness and morale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

What I like best about Blumira is how easy it is to use and how quickly it adds value. We got it up and running fast, and almost right away we were seeing helpful alerts with clear info that made it easy to understand what was going on. The automated response features are super handy—especially when something pops up after hours. It’s taken a lot of the stress out of day-to-day security tasks and really cuts down on the noise so we can focus on real issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

Honestly, there’s not much to complain about. Blumira has been solid for us. If anything, we’re just looking forward to seeing what new features they roll out in the future—it’s clear they listen to feedback and keep improving the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blumira Automated Detection & Response solving and how is that benefiting you?

Blumira is helping us tackle a few big challenges—mainly visibility and alert fatigue. Before, we had gaps in our logging and weren’t always catching things early enough. Now, we’ve got much better insight into what’s happening across our environment. The alerts we get are actually useful and not overwhelming, which has been a huge improvement. Plus, the automated response gives us peace of mind that things are being handled, even if we’re not right there in the moment. It's really helped lighten the load for our team.
