Product Description

Blumira's Automated SIEM enables organizations to detect and respond effectively to cybersecurity threats without having a dedicated in-house security operations center or security expertise.

- Flexibility of an open XDR: Open platform integrates with multiple vendors for hybrid coverage of cloud, endpoint, identity, servers and more

- Automation accelerates security: Deploy in minutes; stop threats immediately with automated response to isolate devices and block malicious traffic

- Satisfy more compliance controls: Get more in one – SIEM w/1 year of data retention, endpoint, automated response & 24/7 SecOps support*

- Managed platform saves time: Blumira’s team manages the platform to do threat hunting, data parsing and analysis, correlation and detection at scale

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

Recently we were warned of a team member's account pinging from Greece. It was actually the team member but we had no idea that their work equipment was with them. If this had been an account that was compromised, we would have been able to stop the assailant in their tracks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Blumira is an AWESOME hosted SIEM/MDR solution"

5/5

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

Blumira doesn't need agents, and it's really easy to setup and use. The built-in detections will quickly start to call-out risky behavior or settings that could be dangerous. So far, we haven't seen any missed detections or false-positives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

Requirement for a VM to collect logs - even if your integrations are all cloud (e.g. AWS, M365, etc), you still need to deploy a VM on your network to connect your cloud apps to Blumira's cloud. I was told this may change in the future.

Detections aren't user-configurable, but Blumira's support is extremely helpful and will change configurations for you if required. I was told this may change soon.

Views/dashboards aren't configurable, and reports aren't 'very sexy' (i.e. they give you the data you want in a CSV - no fancy PDF with graphs, logos, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Blumira Automated Detection & Response:

Overall, Blumira is an AWESOME hosted SIEM/MDR solution at an extremely reasonable price point. It's no Splunk, but it's also a fraction of the cost, and top-notch support is included in the price. If they continue adding the features they say they're adding, Blumira's definitely a solution to keep your eye on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It should be able solve most organizations' problems for log collection and compliance, and their out-of-the-box detections catch most bad things without false-positives or needing to be tuned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cost-effective SIEM with incredible customer focused implementation and support"

4.5/5

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

Having access to subject matter experts on the implementation and setup was key to making this a no-brainer for any size, capability IT organization to consider Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

It did take some tweaking on the automation scripts but honestly, the whole process was a matter of days and not weeks to implement. We started seeing real triggers and not a lot of noise or excess alerts. It's been our comprehensive security blanket covering a host of servers, endpoints and other security systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Reduces the number of security staff required to monitor firewall, antivirus, shared drives, infrastructure configs and overall change management. We're alerted to only the important/critical alerts and there are actually useful information guides to walk you through resolutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The perfect SIEM; up & running in one hour"

5/5

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

Everything is very straightforward to do -- and not in the wrong way. From getting your welcome email to having a sensor up & running, ingesting logs, takes *just* 1-2 hours depending on what do you want to set up first. The team has been great to work with and very responsive. Documentation has been perfect so far, which sadly is not the norm in our industry.

If you are ready for it, you will start getting actionable information from day 0. I can honestly say I've been impressed so far by pretty much everything; from the communications to the onboarding, to the technology -- everything has been high quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blumira Automated Detection & Response?

I haven't disliked anything so far -- the only thing to mention is that due to Blumira's approach, you have limited integration options (which you can openly see on their page, not behind paywalls or exhaustive communications without clear responses). However, they currently have a *lot* of them that cover most of the use-cases that you'll find, AND they are actively working to bring on some more integrations. I liked and appreciated the attention during onboarding since they made sure to ask what tools/technologies we were using even if they didn't support them -- so they could try and do so, considering demand and all of that, of course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Blumira Automated Detection & Response:

If you are on the fence about trying this, or if you don't have a SIEM yet -- take this as your sign to start today; I promise you will be impressed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The biggest problem we are trying to solve with Blumira is bringing enterprise level-security to the SMB market. SIEMs have been unreachable for small or medium-sized companies for far too long and we are glad to say that with Blumira that's not the case anymore.

Not only that but Blumira's MDR services are just what we needed for us and the SMB market. We are happy, our clients are happy, and most importantly, secure! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
