Security operations are buried under too many tools. Analysts switch between consoles, piece together context by hand, and burn valuable hours reconciling data that should already work together. According to Gartner, security leaders use an average of 19 different tools, and 80% say this level of complexity creates blind spots.
This fragmentation slows down detection and response, drives up costs, and wears out teams that are already stretched thin.
Tool Sprawl Creates Cost and Context Gaps
Every additional product means more integrations, more inconsistent data, and more overhead. Forrester estimates that organizations waste 30% of their security spend on overlapping tools. That waste shows up in duplicate alerts, licenses that sit idle, and storage that grows faster than budgets.
The result is a dangerous lag between detection and response. Analysts are forced to triage with incomplete context, leading to missed threats or false alarms that consume precious time.
One Platform for Detection and Response
Graylog consolidates security visibility into a single platform. Log management, threat detection, and incident response work together instead of pulling teams in different directions.
Key capabilities include:
- Entity-Centric Risk Modeling highlights the hosts, users, and endpoints under real attack, instead of flooding teams with low-value alerts.
- Context-Aware Incident Response delivers correlated evidence, threat intelligence, and guided workflows in one place, cutting investigation time by as much as 90%.
- Adaptive Data Control enables cost-optimized retention without sacrificing access, keeping years of logs available while reducing storage OPEX by up to 70%.
With Graylog, the security picture is complete, accurate, and actionable.
Predictable Costs, Immediate Value
Budgets can’t keep pace with unchecked tool sprawl. PwC reports that 62% of business leaders see improved visibility as essential to building digital trust. That requires cost control as much as detection speed.
Graylog delivers both. Data tiering ensures hot data is fast to query while cold data remains audit-ready at a fraction of the cost. Deployments can run on-premises, in the cloud, or hybrid, with the same analyst experience everywhere. The license is transparent, predictable, and free from hidden data taxes.
An Analyst-Centered Platform
Graylog is designed for daily use by security teams, not just executive reports. Guided searches, pre-built detection content, and intuitive workflows reduce clicks, remove guesswork, and let analysts focus on real threats. Even junior staff can take confident action, while senior analysts gain the speed to outpace attackers.
The platform removes the inefficiency and fatigue caused by scattered tools. What remains is a focused, analyst-friendly environment that surfaces the most important risks first.
The Sustainable Path Forward
Tool sprawl drains budgets and obscures visibility. A single, integrated platform built for detection, response, and retention changes the economics of security operations. Instead of complexity that slows teams down, Graylog provides clarity that accelerates outcomes.
Break free from tool sprawl. Graylog Security brings visibility, detection, and response together in one platform so your team spends less time managing complexity and more time stopping threats.
