4. Microsoft recommended
   Microsoft Sentinel - my default recommendation if you're on Microsoft 365/Entra.

7. Microsoft 365 recommended

8. Defender mentioned
   M365 and Defender logs ingest free, which for a remote team is exactly the data you care about, and it's the cheapest path to covering sign-ins, conditional access failures, and endpoint alerts.
9. Azure mentioned
   Roughly $2.46-$5.20/GB ingested plus Azure storage/query costs.
10. Blumira mentioned
    Blumira - the pick if you have no dedicated security staff, which describes most remote-first companies under ~200 people.
11. Arctic Wolf mentioned
    Deploys in hours, ships with managed detection rules and real humans on support, and came in at under half the cost of Arctic Wolf in a head-to-head a buyer published.
12. Panther mentioned
    Panther - best if you do have engineers and live in AWS/GCP.
13. AWS mentioned
    Panther - best if you do have engineers and live in AWS/GCP.
14. GCP mentioned
    Panther - best if you do have engineers and live in AWS/GCP.
15. Elastic Security mentioned
    Elastic Security - the value play on raw ingest cost;
16. Elastic Cloud mentioned
    Elastic Cloud starts around $99/month for a small Standard deployment, ~$1,140/yr at the low end.
17. Cloud mentioned
    Elastic Cloud starts around $99/month for a small Standard deployment, ~$1,140/yr at the low end.
18. CrowdStrike Falcon mentioned
    CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM - makes sense if you're already running Falcon on the laptops.
19. Falcon mentioned
    CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM - makes sense if you're already running Falcon on the laptops.
20. Wazuh mentioned
    Wazuh (free, self-hosted) or Graylog Open - the zero-budget starting points.
21. Graylog mentioned
    Wazuh (free, self-hosted) or Graylog Open - the zero-budget starting points.
22. Graylog Open mentioned
    Wazuh (free, self-hosted) or Graylog Open - the zero-budget starting points.
23. ManageEngine Log360 mentioned
    Worth naming for predictability: ManageEngine Log360 is cited as the most predictable bill of the bunch - relevant because per-GB SIEM pricing is where budgets get ambushed.

# SIEM for remote teams The key thing about "remote team" is that your perimeter is gone - there's no office firewall to watch. Your real telemetry is identity (Okta/Entra/Google Workspace), endpoints (laptops on home Wi-Fi), and SaaS/cloud audit logs. So the ranking below favors tools that ingest those cleanly and don't assume on-prem network taps. **1. Microsoft Sentinel** - my default recommendation if you're on Microsoft 365/Entra. M365 and Defender logs ingest free, which for a remote team is exactly the data you care about, and it's the cheapest path to covering sign-ins, conditional access failures, and endpoint alerts. Roughly $2.46-$5.20/GB ingested plus Azure storage/query costs. Currently rated the top SIEM overall in 2026 roundups. ([esecurityplanet.com](https://www.esecurityplanet.com/fr/products/siem-tools/), [costbench.com](https://costbench.com/best/best-cloud-native-siem/)) **2. Blumira** - the pick if you have no dedicated security staff, which describes most remote-first companies under ~200 people. Deploys in hours, ships with managed detection rules and real humans on support, and came in at under half the cost of Arctic Wolf in a head-to-head a buyer published. Mid-market and MSP-oriented. ([blumira.com](https://www.blumira.com/blog/comparing-value-blumira-delivered-superior-siem-capabilities)) **3. Panther** - best if you *do* have engineers and live in AWS/GCP. Detection-as-code in Python means your rules go in git with code review, which suits a distributed team that already works async. Reviewers cite big drops in alert noise versus legacy SIEM. ([rfp.wiki](https://www.rfp.wiki/it-security/security-information-and-event-management/panther/blumira)) **4. Elastic Security** - the value play on raw ingest cost; lowest published per-GB rate of the major platforms. Elastic Cloud starts around $99/month for a small Standard deployment, ~$1,140/yr at the low end. Expect to invest real time in tuning - you're buying a platform, not a product. ([underdefense.com](https://underdefense.com/industry-pricings/elastic-cloud-siem-pricing/), [esecurityplanet.com](https://www.esecurityplanet.com/fr/products/siem-tools/)) **5. CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM** - makes sense if you're already running Falcon on the laptops. For remote teams the endpoint *is* the perimeter, so consolidating EDR and SIEM with one vendor removes a whole integration. ~$8-15/endpoint/month, and per-endpoint pricing is easier to forecast than per-GB. ([costbench.com](https://costbench.com/best/best-cloud-native-siem/)) **6. Wazuh** (free, self-hosted) or **Graylog Open** - the zero-budget starting points. Both are genuinely capable; both assume you have someone willing to own infrastructure. Good for a pre-revenue startup proving out a compliance requirement. ([costbench.com](https://costbench.com/best/best-cloud-native-siem/), [esecurityplanet.com](https://www.esecurityplanet.com/fr/products/siem-tools/)) **Worth naming for predictability:** **ManageEngine Log360** is cited as the most predictable bill of the bunch - relevant because per-GB SIEM pricing is where budgets get ambushed. ([esecurityplanet.com](https://www.esecurityplanet.com/fr/products/siem-tools/)) One caveat on sourcing: several of the comparison sites above (Costbench, Consilien, RFP.wiki) are affiliate-driven, and the Blumira-vs-Arctic-Wolf comparison is published by Blumira itself. The product facts are reliable; treat the rankings and the vendor-on-vendor cost claims as directional. Get your own quotes with your actual log volume.
