Slash Your SIEM Storage Costs — Without Sacrificing Security
Reduce data retention expenses by up to 90% using Snare’s cost-optimized log management. Achieve compliance and forensic-grade visibility at a fraction of the cost.
Lower SIEM Licensing Costs | Store More, Pay Less | Compliance Without Compromise
Modern SIEM and log management platforms charge by volume — making long-term storage of logs financially unsustainable. Most organizations are forced to make trade-offs, retaining only critical logs or archiving data in cold storage where it’s no longer searchable or useful.
This approach increases risk, slows investigations, and undermines compliance.
Snare helps you cut data retention expenses without compromise. With Snare, you can collect, filter, forward, store, and replay logs on your terms — reducing costs across your SIEM and infrastructure stack.
Collects logs from endpoints, servers, cloud workloads, and applications with granular filtering to remove noise before forwarding.
Acts as a centralized management hub with intelligent log routing and policy control, streamlining what data gets retained and where.
Routes logs efficiently across hybrid environments, enabling smart storage strategies and ensuring forensic integrity.
Bonus: With SnareStore Replay, you can replay logs to your SIEM on demand — no need to keep everything ingesting 24/7.
Snare seamlessly integrates with any system that supports syslog, API-based ingestion, or secure log transfer.
Ensure every transaction log is archived and retrievable for audits and threat investigations — without inflating your SIEM costs.
Maintain long-term retention of sensitive logs while adhering to strict regulatory frameworks — without breaking budget constraints.
Gain full visibility into operational tech (OT) and IT environments without overpaying for SIEM ingestion or storage
“Snare helped us reduce our SIEM storage bill by over 80% while staying fully compliant with our industry’s retention regulations.”
“We used to archive logs and lose visibility. With Snare, we keep everything hot and searchable — affordably.”
How does Snare help reduce data retention costs?
Snare reduces data retention expenses by filtering log data before it reaches your SIEM, compressing logs for efficient storage, and enabling replay on demand. This means you don’t have to ingest or retain all logs in high-cost platforms — you store everything affordably and only push what’s needed when it’s needed.
What is log replay and how does it save money?
Log replay allows you to store logs outside your SIEM and forward them only when needed, such as during investigations, audits, or compliance checks. This drastically cuts ongoing SIEM ingestion and storage costs while maintaining full forensic access to historical data.
Can I retain logs for compliance without paying for SIEM storage?
Yes. With Snare, you can store logs in compressed, compliant formats outside your SIEM. You maintain full retention and retrieval capabilities while avoiding expensive long-term SIEM storage fees. This is particularly useful for industries with strict data retention mandates.
Does Snare support tiered storage strategies?
Absolutely. Snare supports multi-destination routing, allowing you to send different log types to different destinations — for example, critical logs to your SIEM, non-critical to low-cost object storage, and everything to a central archive. You control the strategy to balance visibility, compliance, and cost.
Will Snare impact my existing SIEM or log management tools?
No. Snare is SIEM-agnostic and integrates seamlessly with tools like Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, IBM QRadar, Securonix, and more. It acts as a complementary layer that optimizes ingestion and storage, not a replacement.
Is Snare compliant with log retention regulations?
Yes. Snare supports long-term data retention strategies that align with standards like ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIST, and local government mandates. It ensures your log data is stored securely, encrypted, and accessible for auditing purposes.
What kind of savings can I expect?
Most organizations using Snare experience 50–90% reductions in SIEM storage and licensing costs. Exact savings depend on your current ingestion volumes, storage policies, and log sources — which is why we offer a free ROI assessment.
How long can Snare retain my logs?
Snare allows you to define custom retention policies — from 90 days to 7+ years or more — depending on your compliance and operational needs. Data is compressed and indexed to allow fast access and replay regardless of age.
Does Snare require hardware applications?
No. Snare is a lightweight, software-based solution that works across virtual, physical, cloud, and hybrid environments. There’s no need to purchase or maintain additional hardware, which further reduces your total cost of ownership.
