SecuSIEM vs Elastic Security: managed SaaS vs cluster to operate
Get a modern SIEM without managing Elasticsearch, Kibana, ILM policies or cluster capacity.
SecuSIEM, the managed SaaS alternative to Elastic Security. No Elasticsearch cluster to run, native MSP multi-tenant, sovereign Québec hosting — without the operational burden of self-hosted Elastic.

Frequently asked questions
Elastic is open core, isn't it cheaper?
License-wise, yes: Elastic Basic is free. But the real TCO of a production Elastic cluster includes: nodes (often 3+), ingest pipelines, ILM, snapshots, monitoring, version upgrades (frequent breaking changes), Kibana training, alerting, integrations. For an SMB or MSP, the operational cost often exceeds the managed SaaS flat rate.
Does Elastic Cloud have a Canada region?
Elastic Cloud runs on AWS / Azure / GCP. The Canada region is therefore subject to the host hyperscaler's jurisdiction (all US). SecuSIEM is hosted exclusively at OVH Beauharnois, a French-European operator with sovereign Canadian presence.
Can we migrate an existing Elastic stack to SecuSIEM?
Yes. We provide an Elasticsearch index import tool (historical data) and adapt ingestion pipelines (Filebeat, Logstash, Fluent Bit). The learning curve is shorter as SecuSIEM's UI targets analysts, not Elastic operators.
How mature is SecuSIEM compared to Elastic?
Elastic is older and technically proven. SecuSIEM builds on mature open-source bricks (Loki, ClickHouse, Vector) integrated as managed SaaS, with native SecuAAS suite integration — available in production.
