How much is your SIEM really costing you in storage and performance?

Benchmarking Storage Requirements Given a Standard Dataset in Elastic Search, Brand X, and Gravwell

This head-to-head benchmark of SIEM storage, Ingest, and query performance shows how Gravwell compares to Elastic and a leading legacy SIEM using the same 475GB dataset on identical hardware.


Key Results
  • 57–77% better compression ratio than legacy platforms
  • Hours faster ingest vs. days
  • High-interaction queries Elastic couldn’t even complete
  • $27k–$31k annual storage savings vs. Elastic (90-day retention)
Why It Matters

Per-GB pricing and rigid indexing force teams to drop data or accept runaway costs. This benchmark shows what happens when you ingest everything in full fidelity and apply structure at query time.
