Lower Data Ingestion Costs

Cut Your SIEM Spend by Up to 90% with the Snare Suite

Snare helps security and operations teams regain control of rising SIEM costs by reducing data ingestion volumes, without compromising compliance, visibility, or log integrity. Whether you’re sending logs to Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, IBM QRadar, or Securonix, Snare gives you the power to intelligently collect, filter, enrich, and forward only the data that matters. With AskSnare, you can now investigate archived data directly — without re-ingesting it into your SIEM at all.

Why Lowering Data Ingestion Costs Matters

Most security information and event management (SIEM) platforms charge by data volume. The more logs you ingest, the more you pay — even if much of the data has no investigative or compliance value.

Snare changes that dynamic.

By giving you full control over what’s collected, how it’s enriched, and where it goes, Snare dramatically reduces the volume of unnecessary or low-priority data being sent to your SIEM — while maintaining a complete audit trail outside of it.

How Snare Lowers SIEM Ingestion Costs

Precision Log Collection at the Source

Snare Agent collects only the data you need — right from the endpoint. With granular control over what’s captured, you can exclude noisy logs or capture high-fidelity forensic logs without inflating your SIEM bill.

“Filter logs before they’re forwarded. Collect everything, but send only what’s relevant.”

Data Replay & Tiered Storage

Snare Central gives you the ability to store all logs in a cost-effective archive — and replay them to any SIEM or downstream system only when needed. This eliminates the need for real-time ingestion of cold data while maintaining long-term forensic integrity

Smart Routing with Snare Reflector

Use Snare Reflector to enrich, route, and distribute logs across multiple platforms. Tailor log forwarding to use cases (e.g., send alerts to SIEM, archive the rest) and reduce redundant data transfers.

Reduce Vendor Lock-In Costs

Snare breaks the lock between your log data and your SIEM vendor. Send enriched, filtered data to your choice of SIEM while retaining raw logs independently — giving you full control over cost, compliance, and flexibility

Investigate Without Re-Ingesting

Every Replay event is a temporary re-ingestion cost. AskSnare lets your team query Snare Central’s archived data directly, in plain English, so many investigations no longer require pushing data back into the SIEM at all. Fewer, smaller Replay cycles mean lower ingestion costs on top of what filtering and routing already save.

Before and After Snare

Before and After Snare — Comparison Table
Without Snare With Snare
Pricing model Pay per-GB to ingest every log, including low-value noise Filter, transform, and route at the source before ingestion
Data strategy Trim sources to control cost — creating blind spots Collect everything, archive affordably, replay on demand
Vendor flexibility Re-architect every time a SIEM migration happens Vendor-agnostic routing — swap or run multiple SIEMs in parallel
Historical data access Re-collect or accept gaps when historical data is needed for an audit 90–98% storage savings with full chain-of-custody retained
Investigating archived data Replay data back into the SIEM — a re-ingestion event, every time Query archived data directly with AskSnare — no re-ingestion needed for most questions

Use Case

A mid-size financial services organization sending 2TB/day to Splunk found that roughly 60% of that volume was low-value operational and debug logging with no security or compliance use. By deploying Snare Agent to filter at the source and routing the remainder through Snare Reflector, they cut their Splunk ingestion to approximately 800GB/day — while Snare Central retained the full, unfiltered 2TB/day in low-cost archive storage for compliance and forensic purposes.

When their team needed to investigate an incident six months later, they used AskSnare to query the archived data directly rather than replaying the full historical window back into Splunk, avoiding a temporary re-ingestion spike entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Snare reduces SIEM costs by filtering, enriching, and routing only necessary log data to your SIEM. Non-critical logs are stored securely elsewhere, helping avoid excessive ingestion charges.

Yes. Snare Central provides secure, tamper-evident long-term log storage, separate from your SIEM, supporting regulatory and internal audit requirements.

Absolutely. Snare integrates with Splunk, Sentinel, QRadar, Securonix, and more — with built-in support for syslog and API-based forwarding.

Yes. Filtering and routing reduce what you send to your SIEM in the first place; Replay reduces how often you need to push historical data back in. AskSnare adds a third layer: it queries Snare Central’s archived data directly, in plain English, so many investigations no longer require a Replay-driven re-ingestion event at all. The three work together — less goes in, less comes back out, and what does come back out is often just an answer, not a full re-ingested dataset.

Savings depend on how much of your current log volume is low-value noise versus high-value security and compliance data, but customers typically see up to 90% reduction in SIEM storage and ingestion costs. Use the ROI Calculator to estimate savings against your specific ingestion volume and current SIEM pricing.

Ingestion costs are what your SIEM charges to collect and index data as it arrives; storage costs are what you pay to retain that data over time, whether inside the SIEM or in separate archive storage. Snare reduces both: it lowers ingestion by filtering what reaches the SIEM in the first place, and lowers storage costs by archiving the full, unfiltered log set in Snare Central at a fraction of SIEM storage pricing.
