"A platform that unifies all the security products to provide rich context and alerts"
What do you like best about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

Blumira is a sort of unicorn product. It easily connects to all your security products providing instant visibility and alerting based on telemetry from your existing security stack. Calling the product, a SIEM may be selling it short. The closest comparison to describe the Blumira is SIEM as a service but insisted of taking an off-the-shelf solution and adopting it; Blumira built a custom platform from the ground up.

So what you get is a platform designed to be SIEM as a service with detections, integrations, and alerts prebuilt out the box (and more coming down the pipeline all the time), all delivered in a neat interface.

The time to value is incredible with actionable signals within minutes. Blumira addresses the inherent issue with existing SIEM solutions that are completely unaffordable and unmanageable for smaller companies or those with limited resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

While an excellent solution for small-to-medium size organizations or organizations with limited resources. Larger companies with dedicated SOCs will get more value with a "choose" your own adventure SIEM.

Blumira lacks an open-API (for now), limiting the ability to integrate it yourself with outside solutions. You also cannot create custom detections or rules (yet). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great technology and highly involved team"
What do you like best about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

When I joined my company, Blumira was already set up and has been in use for several years. Since I joined, the process to ingest logs from new devices, creating alerts as desired and fine tuning the alerts has been quiet easy. The team is always available to us and responses to any questions that we have is very quick. The portal to view and track the alerts is very user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

Ability for me as a security analyst to run query against the logs that are collected from Blumira portal is limited. In addition to events that are gathered and displayed for each alert, we would need additional logs to investigate an certain alert/incident. Also ability to retrieve and display desired logs from back end is very helpful during Threat Hunting process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
