About Blumira
Blumira is a cloud-based threat detection and response platform that helps businesses manage operations related to threat hunting, user security, and log monitoring, among other processes. It allows staff members to automatically compare data across multiple systems and generate alerts based on perceived threat priority.
Blumira provides a built-in security playbook, which enables employees to respond to threats based on predefined custom workflows. The blocklist functionality lets supervisors automatically detect and block access to malicious IP sources and domains. The platform allows business leaders to conduct investigations and audits in compliance with HIPAA, PCI DSS, FFIEC, NIST regulations and requirements. It also lets IT professionals analyze all findings by stacking matched evidence across multiple sources, including associated users, source IP addresses, domain names, timestamps, and more.
Blumira facilitates integration with several third-party solutions including Okta, Cisco Umbrella, Duo, Office 365, Microsoft Azure, Malwarebytes, and more. Administrators can set-up role based permission rights to restrict specific employees from adding, editing, or deleting information.

Blumira implementation was easy, with log collector setup done by script, templates for event forwarding from log sources. Use of this product has greatly reduced the time required of our limited staff searching logs for suspicious activity or indications of misconfiguration. Alert Event information and explanations enable rapid investigation and resolution of most incidents.
Pros
Automatic event alerts for suspicious activities allows us to begin investigation soon after a suspicious event. Automated report generation for less sensitive activities allows us to monitor actions of interest to our organization. The Report Builder UI is straightforward and with practice can be used to create detailed reports of log activity for specific events, as is needed during investigations. Event management UI provides for communication to Blumira staff for additional support, attachment of documents from investigations and documenting the resolution of the event.
Cons
It takes some practice and experimentation to identify which fields to use in filtering logs into reports. Blumira normalizes the logs for storage in the database and it can be challenging to get the right data items into the report you want. However, Blumira support is always ready to help figure it out.
Reasons for Choosing Blumira
Primarily due to issues with the other company's understanding and support of their SIEM solution.Reasons for Switching to Blumira
Automated alerts from the system based on patterns known to the system to indicate suspicious activities. The alerts link to the Event management system which provides explanation of why the event was suspicious and what actions can be taken to investigate and/or mitigate. A large part of the decision was having Blumira Staff filter the logs for events of interest and having a good report builder for investigations.- Industry: Transportation/Trucking/Railroad

Make sifting thru mountains of data something of a mole hill.

Pros
Being able to send logs from clients, servers, network equipment, and cloud sources is very important. Knowing what is going on at all times and being alerted to something occurring allows us to look into who did what, when, and find out what was going on which triggered the alert allows us to respond very quickly.
Cons
Filtering data in reports by date or date range is not as simple as it should be. I had to get a coworker to look at this feature with me in order to figure out how to filter by date range.
Response from Blumira
Thank you for your review and feedback, Khan! We've passed your insights about reporting filtering to our team so that we can continue to improve and make this process easier.

It is a perfect fit for our small environment and team. It provides advanced log collection and processing with ease, and is very cost effective. I am becoming a cheerleader for this product and service. It's been very impressive... ease of setup, ease of use, customer service, reasonable cost, and of course product performance. Try it out.
Pros
Easy setup and operation. It includes a honeypot feature. Attractive cost for a small organization compared to other options.
Cons
When the local "sensor" was powered off recently we weren't alerted. It doesn't tell us if we aren't receiving logs from a particular device that has been previously sending logs.

Extremely positive; they are engaged with their customers and are transparent with their development efforts which help make us successful. Their rapid and knowledgeable communication has blown me away.
Pros
The platform has done an amazing job of taking the various events, alerts, alarms, and other notifications and boiling them down into actionable alerts that any member of an IT team can work with and react against. Alert fatigue is a real concern, and the fact that our support staff can be given the infrequent and important findings -- while being given a playbook on how to respond -- is the reason this software is successful.
Cons
While the initial setup was straightforward, it did not include the same large amount of documentation that other vendors provide. This did involve then reaching out to Blumira support, which has been, hands-down, the most knowledgeable and fastest support team that I have ever used in my 20 years of utilizing untold numbers of networking and security vendors.
