Graylog named in 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SIEM tools

Graylog has been recognised in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for security information and event management (SIEM).

The company, which has positioned its SIEM solution for use by both midsize and large enterprises, reported that its inclusion in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant marks a significant milestone just two years after the launch of Graylog Security.

Recognition and response

Seth Goldhammer, Vice President of Product Management at Graylog, commented on the company's inclusion, stating,

"We feel being named in the 2025 Gartner Magic QuadrantTM for SIEM just two years after launching Graylog Security is a tremendous milestone. Our agility and customer-centric approach give us a unique edge in the market. We continuously align our roadmap with real-world feedback to help security teams stay ahead of emerging threats and operate with greater speed and confidence."

Graylog was founded to address the increasing challenges faced by lean and scaling security teams, with an emphasis on providing an accessible and less complex SIEM platform. Its solution is aimed at assisting organisations to manage evolving cybersecurity threats while minimising the traditional operational and budgetary burdens often associated with SIEM products.

Product features and enhancements

According to the company, recent advancements in Graylog Security's platform have focused on incorporating artificial intelligence capabilities designed for specific security tasks. These AI-driven features allow analysts to more effectively evaluate and prioritise alerts and incidents, add contextual and external data to logs, and collate evidence for investigations. These updates are intended to streamline the decision-making process for analysts without removing control from the underlying security workflows.

In addition, Graylog Security has reported further development of its incident management capabilities. Key updates include the introduction of threat campaign intelligence and remediation workflows that can be fully or partially automated. The objective is to give analysts a holistic understanding of a cyberattack by displaying an entire campaign rather than separate, individually scored alerts. This broader perspective is expected to assist teams responding to potential threats with improved speed and greater consistency.

Graylog has also highlighted its support for mapping security incidents to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. This functionality is delivered through its Threat Coverage widget, which the company says increases visibility over detection coverage and assists analysts in aligning investigation efforts with industry standards.

Market approach and customer input

The firm describes its product development as customer-centric, with each new feature influenced by ongoing feedback from its user base among security operations professionals. Graylog asserts the platform is engineered especially for real-world teams, as opposed to generic use cases, with the intention of reducing operational complexity and providing tools that accelerate both detection and response times.

Other features of the SIEM offering, as outlined by Graylog, include automated workflows, security event correlation, and anomaly detection. The company states its suite-comprising Graylog Enterprise, Security, API Security, and Open-caters to the needs of organisations across a variety of sizes, from global enterprises to smaller, resource-constrained security teams. The platform's pricing model is positioned to address traditional industry frustrations around unexpected costs.

Industry commentary

The Gartner Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management is generally considered a benchmark study for organisations evaluating SIEM products. It establishes a high-level view of vendor strengths, areas of development, and strategic positioning within the security software market.
