RunReveal Overview
What is RunReveal?
RunReveal is the modern security data platform reimagining traditional SIEM by combining data collection, threat detection, investigation, and AI-powered analysis in one unified platform.
What kind of companies use RunReveal?
RunReveal is designed for businesses of all sizes, from startups to enterprises. It's particularly valuable for security teams that are overwhelmed by data from multiple cloud services, experiencing too many false positives, or finding traditional SIEMs too complex or expensive.
Our (pretty amazing) customers include security teams from Cloudflare, Harvey, AngelList, Weights & Biases, and more.
Who on my team should use RunReveal?
RunReveal is specifically designed for security engineers, heads of security/security leadership, and SOC analysts who need to detect, investigate, and respond to threats efficiently.
What tools does RunReveal replace?
RunReveal can replace a variety of existing security tooling, such as existing SIEM, routing, and AI SOC solutions. Because RunReveal unifies security engineering tooling into one tool, teams can store, route, filter, enrich, normalize, query, detect, and use AI to investigate security log data directly in the RunReveal platform.
The RunReveal team can also help with migrating existing detections into the RunReveal platform.
How is RunReveal different from traditional SIEM solutions?
Unlike legacy SIEMs, RunReveal was built from the ground up for modern cloud environments. It offers faster unified tooling (no more need to buy Splunk + Cribl + an AI SOC....) search performance, transparent pricing, fewer false positives through correlated alerting, and native AI integration for investigations.
What are RunReveal's core capabilities?
RunReveal's platform provides log collection and enrichment and normalization, high-speed search, automated threat detection with correlated alerting, detections-as-code, AI-powered chat for investigations, data visualization and dashboards.
Does RunReveal support detections-as-code?
Yes, RunReveal supports detections-as-code written in SQL. RunReveal also offers migration support to move existing detections to RunReveal.
How does RunReveal's pricing work?
RunReveal uses a transparent, predictable pricing model based on two main factors: data volume ingestion and deployment option. This approach eliminates the complex licensing fees, per-user costs, and hidden charges common in traditional SIEM solutions. To see more about our pricing, please visit our Pricing page.
How is RunReveal different from Panther?
RunReveal offers a truly unified platform that combines data collection and management, detection, investigation, AI chat, and visualization in one seamless experience, while Panther focuses primarily on detection-as-code with Python rules and requires additonal tools for comprehensive security operations. RunReveal's modern infrastructure delivers blazing-fast search performance and native AI integration that cuts investigation time from hours to seconds, compared to Panther's AWS Lambda-based architecture that still requires manual coding for most detection scenarios.
How is RunReveal different from Splunk?
RunReveal gives you everything you need in one simple platform—AI-powered investigations, lightning-fast search, and modern infrastructure that just works out of the box. Splunk requires you to piece together multiple tools and manually normalize the data before you get any value from it at all. In addition, RunReveal's straightforward pricing model and built-in data filtering enables our customers to have enterprise-grade SIEM without enterprise-grade SIEM costs.
How is RunReveal different from Elastic?
RunReveal delivers a unified platform combining data collection, detection, AI-powered investigation, and visualization in one seamless experience, while Elastic requires assembling multiple siloed components (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, Beats) and manual dashboard configuration, and ongoing laborious index maintenance to keep search times reasonable. RunReveal's modern ClickHouse infrastructure provides ridiculously fast performance with native AI chat that cuts investigation time from hours to minutes (or even seconds!), compared to Elastic's complex multi-component architecture that demands significant expertise to operate effectively.
