Overview
Graylog is a log management company headquartered in Houston, Texas, with offices in London and Hamburg[19]. Its product family starts with Graylog Open, a free, source-available edition under the SSPL licence with no volume restrictions and community support only[19]. Graylog Enterprise adds commercial log management features, and Graylog Security adds SIEM capabilities on top of Enterprise, including threat detection content, investigations and anomaly detection[19].
Graylog is one of few SIEM vendors to publish entry prices. Graylog Enterprise starts at US$15,000 a year and Graylog Security at US$18,000 a year, both with an entry point of 10 GB per day of processed data or 100 Graylog Compute Units a year[19]. Licensing is based on data processed in the active tier, not on devices, users or stored data, and one compute unit converts to 20 GB of Security processing or 25 GB of Enterprise processing[19]. All paid licences are annual subscriptions.
The open edition makes Graylog a common starting point for smaller teams, which can later upgrade without changing collectors. Its limitations are scale and depth: it lacks the bundled endpoint agents, threat intelligence and large detection libraries of the platform vendors.
