Paid vs. Free: Smarter, Scalable, Secure.
The Trade-Off: Dropping data to cut costs risks missing something critical.
With Graylog Subscription: Keep all your logs — not just the ones you can afford to store. Route processed lower-priority data to a built-in data lake that doesn’t count toward your license. Use Data-Lake-Preview to search standby data before bringing it into active storage. Restore only what you need with selective retrieval, and gain full visibility without second-guessing what you dropped.
The Trade-Off: More alerts often means more noise, not more insight.
With Graylog Subscription: Cut through the noise with smarter correlation and risk-based prioritization. Adversary Campaign Intelligence connects related alerts, surfaces high-risk behavior, and factors in asset value and recent vulnerabilities to calculate threat severity. And with Graylog Illuminate, you get ready-to-use parsers, dashboards, alerts, and detection rules for dozens of the most common IT and cybersecurity platforms — all curated and maintained by Graylog experts.
The Trade-Off: Deep investigations delay response — or get skipped entirely.
With Graylog Subscription: Pivot from alert to action in seconds. Timeline views, case management, and easy evidence capture help analysts move faster — without missing context. Investigate once. Generate full investigation reports instantly with our AI-assisted writer. Move on.
The Trade-Off: Compliance eats up time with scripts and spreadsheets.
With Graylog Subscription: Meet regulatory requirements without the busywork. Role-based access control, audit logging, and automated compliance reports simplify enforcement, reduce risk, and free your team from manual processes.
The Trade-Off: Stay stuck on an outdated setup, or risk breaking what works by upgrading alone.
With Graylog Subscription: Our onboarding isn’t one-size-fits-all. For existing Open users, we offer expert-led architecture reviews, deployment tuning, and best-practice guidance tailored to your current setup. You’ll streamline ingestion, boost performance, and get more value from what you’ve already built — faster.
The Trade-Off: Running an unsupported open source tool in production can put your team — and your compliance posture — at risk.
With Graylog Subscription: Paid subscriptions include 24/5 enterprise support with access to product experts who can help you resolve critical issues fast. You’ll also gain access to on-demand training through Graylog Academy, with the option to purchase live sessions, customized training, or a Technical Account Manager (TAM) for ongoing strategic guidance.
