    To stay #1 Make non-Microsoft ingestion, normalization, and cost forecasting simpler and more predictable

  2. 2
    Splunk Enterprise Securityincumbent—12 pts
    GPT #2Claude #2Gemini #2

    Most mature SIEM for large SOCs: elite search, detection engineering, integrations, dashboards, threat hunting, and analyst ecosystem at massive scale

    To rank higher Reduce total cost and operational complexity enough that it is not a budget or staffing tax

  3. 3
    Google Security Operationsincumbent—7 pts
    GPT #3Claude #4Gemini #4

    Exceptional high-volume telemetry search, long-retention analytics, Mandiant threat intelligence, YARA-L detection, and cloud-native scale

  4. 4
    Cortex XSIAM▲15 pts
    GPT #4Claude —Gemini #3

    AI-driven data stitching, a high degree of automation in incident resolution, and seamless integration with the Palo Alto security stack.

  5. 5
    CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEMincumbent▼13 pts
    GPT —Claude #3Gemini —

    Blazing-fast LogScale backend with index-free search, endpoint telemetry already on the platform (no double ingestion cost for Falcon data), and best-in-class threat intel and managed hunting layered on top

  6. 6
    Elastic Securityincumbent—2 pts
    GPT —Claude #5Gemini #5

    Open, transparent detection rules, strong search-based analytics on the Elastic stack, self-hosted or cloud deployment freedom, and the best cost profile for teams willing to run it themselves

    GPT #5Claude —Gemini —

    Strong cloud-native SIEM with excellent UEBA, identity-focused analytics, risk scoring, threat content, and lower operational drag than many legacy platforms
