RUNREVEAL VS. SPLUNK
The modern SIEM for security teams that move fast.
RunReveal brings data management, detection, and response into a single platform built for modern security teams. Ingest and transform your logs, detect threats with AI-powered rules, and investigate incidents in minutes.
World-class security teams trust RunReveal
Why modern security teams choose RunReveal as their AI-native SIEM.
Splunk was built for a different era. RunReveal is designed for the way cloud-native security teams actually work today.
Predictable costs, finally
Splunk charges by the GB you ingest. Every new cloud service or traffic surge hits your bill.
RunReveal prices on only what you store.
AI built in, not bolted on
Splunk’s AI features are add-ons to a platform that was never designed for AI workflows.
RunReveal’s Autonomous Security Operations Agent is a core capability, not a premium SKU.
One platform, not three
Most Splunk customers end up paying separately for their SIEM, pipeline tool, and AI SOC to do basic log management.
RunReveal replaces all of it–detection, pipelines, and AI investigation into a single platform.
What sets RunReveal apart from Splunk
RunReveal is a modern, AI-native SIEM platform and a direct alternative to Splunk. Unlike Splunk, which prices on data ingestion volume and requires third-party tools like Cribl for pipeline management, RunReveal bundles detection, pipelines, and AI investigations into a single platform with storage-based pricing.

What our Customers are saying
We've seen how dedicated the RunReveal staff are to solving these problems. How receptive they are to making changes from actual product users. The amount of transparency with RunReveal is the highest I've had with any vendor.
Geoff Goldsmith
Sr. Security Engineer
Data collection isn’t the goal, detection is. Pipelines let us enrich what we need and cut what we don’t, so we’re not buried under terabytes of irrelevant logs.
Dave Green
Threat Detection & Response Lead
I can add a new [source], write the detection, read queries, find the data that I want, and wire it up to get alerts for it, all within an hour or two. Pretty great compared to existing tool stacks that would be weeks or more.

Security Lead
