Blumira Automated Detection & Response Reviews & Product Details

First of all, can be used for free. Add an easy setup and integration to that and there you go. Lots of features, as described in the presentation page. Not complete (we're talking about free service here, so it's ok) but very useful. It's less than a week of using and I'll yet explore more of its features. Haven't called for customer support yet, all I needed was found in documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lacks on-premise solutions. I ended up using it with Microsoft 365, but wanted to use it in a local server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a very user-friendly application for administration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Currently there are often times items identified where there are more data and links to other sources vs ingesting more of the Raw data. I would like to see this improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blumira can connect to most cloud environments to monitor activity there as well as down to the network and endpoints. Very easy to push the agents out and to connect APIs. And the alerts focus on areas that matter to me so that I can make the adjustments necessary. It is pretty straightforward to fine tune rules so that you only see what matters most. And I like that I can get alerts via email, text, chat or any method that makes sense. The support teams are very engaging and helpful and onboarding was great.

The UI is not super intuitive, but it's navigable. Some features require an upgrade to a more premium level that may not be effective for all users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As soon as, I got it logging our info it started alerting me to findings. I did not have to setup alerts. The Solutions Architect gave me recommendations and suggestions. The SA also checked my environment with a scan and set up a report I was looking for. Things not being reported are put in to be added. I feel like I have another employee watching security for us. This is great for a small organization. I love the add note and alert support, which opens a ticket for Blumira support. I received an email from support very quickly after opening a ticket. The report builder is very easy, once the SA showed me a few things, to extract the info I need. Blumira easily integrated into my environment of MS 365 and Azure. I use it constantly.

We only got 50 agents with our level of protection and later I learned that it is best for all devices to have the agent running on them. I will either have to monitor which devices get the agent or upgrade to more agents at a cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Super easy to setup and use. There is good monitoring, it has decent reporting. I do like the ability to link O365, and other cloud platforms as we are a fully SaaS based company. Their customer support is good, and has explained a lot. We access this more than once a week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think they do not provide enough of the core options in their free or lower tier. What they charge for higher tiers can be pricy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is perhaps Blumira's strongest selling point. Integrating with core services like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, popular EDRs (e.g., SentinelOne, CrowdStrike), firewalls, and cloud environments (AWS, Azure) is remarkably straightforward, often taking minutes rather than days or weeks. The agentless setup for many cloud sources simplifies the process immensely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the ease of use is a strength, it inherently means less granular control for highly skilled security architects or large enterprises with very specific, unique threat modeling needs. Custom rule creation is present but might feel less flexible compared to open-ended SIEMs like Splunk or Elastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Getting email alerts has been the best part for me. Mainly alerts for files I on Google Workspace that had clear text passwords in them. It has helped me with putting together documentation and training for end users to understand the importance of security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not found anything to dislike as of yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blumira has been a tremendous asset to our organization. Of the many SIEM/ XDR products we have used, Blumira is both the simplest and most feature rich. The support Blumira has provided has been terrific. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customizations of alerts could be enhanced Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blumira enables fast incident resolution. Its alerting is impressively quick—often faster than Microsoft’s—making it a strong choice for timely threat detection. I especially like the text alerts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blumira lacks some auto-remediation capabilities. The user interface could be more intuitive, and the process for assigning responders feels unnecessarily complex and time-consuming Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The setup process was incredibly quick and seamless. The guides and documentation provided were clear and easy to follow, walking me through each step without a hitch. While I haven't needed support for integrations, I’ve appreciated the frequent communication, which has ensured that the process was as smooth as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing so far and we've been on the system for over 6 months with an after hours event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
