01Competitive Landscape

Competitive dynamics

- Splunk is positioning UEBA capability to be native in Splunk Enterprise Security, aligning analytics functionality with the ES platform rather than as a separate sidecar product. - Microsoft Sentinel bundles UEBA capabilities with Sentinel and has published pricing for ingestion, which can simplify cost modeling for Microsoft-centric organizations. - Competitors such as Securonix emphasize a cloud-native SIEM+UEBA approach and often frame their offerings as operationally simpler and with different pricing models compared with traditional Splunk deployments.

Common reasons organizations select competitors

Desire for cost predictability and simpler pricing models.
Preference for cloud-native operations and reduced self-managed infrastructure.
Avoidance of additional Splunk ingestion and add-on licensing layers.

	Splunk UBA (legacy)	Microsoft Sentinel UEBA	Securonix (SIEM + UEBA)
Pricing model (observed)	Quote-based; commonly tied to data usage or monitored accounts	UEBA functionality included with Sentinel; published ingestion pricing applies	Quote-based; vendor materials describe tiered packaging and pricing models
Recommended for (typical)	Organizations with existing Splunk deployments that require packaged UEBA workflows (note EOS/EOL)	Organizations using Azure/Microsoft 365 that prefer integrated cloud-native tooling	Organizations seeking cloud-native SIEM and UEBA alternatives to traditional deployments
Noted strengths	Integration with Splunk platform and ES workflows; established Splunk app ecosystem	UEBA included with Sentinel and tied into Microsoft security stack; published pricing model	Positions as unified SIEM+UEBA offering with cloud-first operational model
Noted weaknesses	End-of-sale/end-of-support timeline for legacy UBA; deployment complexity and licensing considerations	Ingestion costs can be significant for non-Microsoft sources; requires Azure operational skills	Onboarding and operational maturity can vary; pricing details often require a vendor quote
