Take Control of Your Security Tech Stack
Vendor lock-in limits your ability to adapt, scale, and optimise your cybersecurity investments. Proprietary systems often force organisations into rigid licensing, costly upgrades, and limited integrations — all while restricting how and where you use your log data.
Whether you use Splunk, Sentinel, QRadar, Securonix, or any other SIEM, Snare ensures you can route, store, and manage log data on your terms — not your vendor’s.
Lock-in prevents organisations from:
Snare ensures portability, interoperability, and control — all critical for long-term data resilience.
Snare’s open architecture ensures seamless integration across your cybersecurity stack. Its modular approach empowers you to collect, filter, forward, store, and replay logs without being tied to any single platform or vendor.
Snare works with your current security ecosystem — no need to rearchitect.
Common Integrations Include:
Transition between SIEMs or analytics tools without losing access to historic data.
Optimise storage and licensing by sending only the data you need, where you need it.
Route logs from different environments to different SIEMs or storage systems with full isolation a ownership and flexibility
Maintain access to long-term forensic logs, even if your analytics stack changes.
A global financial services provider switched SIEM vendors due to spiralling ingestion costs. Thanks to Snare’s vendor-neutral architecture, they seamlessly re-routed logs to the new system while maintaining access to years of historical data — without duplicating storage or reconfiguring every endpoint.
A global financial services organisation operating across North America, EMEA, and APAC was locked into a long-term contract with a leading SIEM vendor. Over time, escalating ingestion-based pricing and rigid license structures made the relationship financially unsustainable.
At the same time, their internal security team wanted to expand their analytics capabilities using more flexible, cloud-native tools. However, the existing setup made it nearly impossible to:
The cost of change — both operationally and financially — kept them trapped in their current ecosystem.
The organisation deployed the Snare Agent across their global endpoint and server infrastructure to collect logs in a standardised, platform-agnostic format.
Using Snare Central and Snare Reflector, they:
By inserting Snare as a flexible, vendor-agnostic log layer, the business gained control over its data pipeline — avoiding lock-in, reducing operational risk, and accelerating innovation in its cybersecurity stack.
Snare’s full suite of solutions works together to help eliminate lock-in at every stage:
Together, they enable unmatched agility and independence in your log management strategy.
What does “No Vendor Lock-In” mean with Snare?
Snare is designed with open standards, flexible integrations, and SIEM-agnostic architecture. That means your data and log collection workflows aren’t tied to one specific SIEM or security tool — giving you the freedom to switch or scale platforms without reengineering your entire environment.
How does Snare avoid vendor lock-in compared to traditional log collection solutions?
Many legacy tools tightly couple log formats, storage, and routing with their own proprietary SIEMs or platforms. Snare provides universal log collection, open output formats (like Syslog, JSON), and seamless forwarding to any destination — including Splunk, Sentinel, QRadar, Securonix, or even data lakes.
What happens if we change SIEMs or cloud providers?
With Snare, nothing breaks. Our solutions are designed to be infrastructure-agnostic. You can route logs to multiple SIEMs, switch between providers, or forward to multiple destinations (e.g., SIEM + Data Lake) without changing your agents or connectors.
Does Snare require proprietary storage or apps?
No. Snare is 100% software-based and doesn’t lock you into proprietary storage models, apps, or high-cost archival tiers. You control where and how your data is stored — with full visibility and access at all times.
Can Snare be used in a hybrid or multi-cloud environment?
Absolutely. Snare supports log collection and forwarding across on-premise, hybrid, and multi-cloud architectures. This gives you maximum flexibility as your environment evolves, without re-investing in new tooling.
How does Snare help future-proof our security data strategy?
By eliminating lock-in, Snare ensures that your data is portable, accessible, and useful — regardless of how your tools, teams, or technologies change. You stay in control of your logs and your compliance obligations, without being boxed into a specific ecosystem.
Can we use Snare alongside our existing SIEM or log management tools?
Yes. Snare enhances your existing setup by reducing ingestion volumes, improving log visibility, and routing logs to multiple destinations — making your current tools more efficient and cost-effective.
What’s the business benefit of avoiding vendor lock-in with Snare?
You reduce long-term costs, avoid expensive migration projects, improve negotiation leverage with vendors, and retain control over your data — all critical for both security and compliance outcomes.
