Cribl

Our assessment

Where it fits. The default choice for large enterprises that want one pipeline in front of several destinations and do not want their pipeline owned by a SIEM vendor.

Watch for. The most expensive option in the category, and the breadth that suits a large estate is overhead for a small one. Its neutrality is a commercial position rather than a technical guarantee, so it is worth confirming contractually.
