Splunk, QRadar, Logrythm and Exabeam are commercial log
management and security analytics platforms that are in the 2018
Gartner “Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event
Management” report.
.
The “interest over time” output shows that most users search for
the terms “Elasticsearch” and “Splunk”. Few searches are for
“QRadar” and much fewer for “Logrythm” “Exabeam”. Is that a
good reflection/measure of how popular these technologies are?!
Although Elasticsearch is not in the Gartner report (hmmm, I wonder
why!), the Elastic stack is an open source platform that has been
adopted or is being considered by many organizations globally,
mainly for log management, and in many case for security analytics
and threat hunting.
SEARCH
So why Elasticsearch and Splunk are on top?
Less searches on QRadar, Exabeam and Logrythm
Trying to understand why ...
Elasticsearch is an open source platform. Hence you expect users searching the
Internet for articles or answers to questions. Although Splunk is a commercial
tool, a free version exists. In addition, Splunk has the concept of being an open
platform that has a commercial licensing model. It is very common for Splunk
users to search the Internet for answers for questions on Splunk.
QRadar, Exabeam and Logrythm are commercial tools. Organizations might tend
to reach out to vendor instead of searching the Internet.
