Exabeam vs. Splunk: Six Ways to Compare and Evaluate
Guide
A guide for Splunk users looking to improve security outcomes and lower total cost of ownership (TCO)
Splunk is a widely used tool for log management, but using it for security operations often leads to unpredictable costs, complex tuning, and slow, manual investigations. Your analysts may need deep SPL knowledge, manage bolted-on security features, and spend time tuning rules instead of resolving threats.
There is a better approach: a security operations platform designed to solve these challenges. This guide provides a direct comparison across six critical areas and shows how you can improve security posture by augmenting or replacing Splunk with a purpose-built platform. It offers a data-driven framework to help you evaluate changes that reduce cost, automate manual work, and improve the speed and quality of your investigations.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to:
- Achieve a more predictable, lower TCO by moving from Splunk’s complex, workload-based pricing to a model that includes analytics, automation, and log management by default.
- Free your analysts from constant tuning by using a platform with prebuilt behavioral analytics for users, entities, and AI agents and contextual correlation so you spend less time managing rules and more time resolving threats.
- Detect credential misuse and lateral movement with machine-learned behavioral models and dynamic risk scoring that provide better visibility than Splunk’s rule-based detections.
- Gain the performance and scale of a cloud-native architecture instead of a managed on-premises design that can create bottlenecks at high volumes.
- Measure and improve detection coverage with alignment to the MITRE ATT&CK® framework and program-level posture insights that Splunk does not provide.
- Use AI to drive outcomes throughout detection, investigation, and response with a coordinated system of AI agents that guide work, summarize findings, and surface high-value insights.
