Quick answer

Exabeam is a pure-play security operations vendor built around one idea: that the useful signal in a SOC is behavioural. Rather than asking whether an event matches a rule, its analytics build a baseline of what each user and machine normally does and score the deviations — which is how you catch a credential that was stolen rather than guessed, and why Exabeam has been the UEBA name for a decade. The company merged with LogRhythm in July 2024 under Thoma Bravo ownership, and that merger is the most important fact about buying from Exabeam today, because it left a deliberate two-product answer: New-Scale is the cloud-native platform, and LogRhythm SIEM is now exclusively the SELF-HOSTED one, with LogRhythm's competing Axon product retired. Very few vendors can genuinely serve both the cloud buyer and the on-premises buyer with a mature product on each side; Exabeam can, and for Indian buyers whose mandate rules out SaaS that is the whole conversation. CEO is Pete Harteveld, who stepped up from Chief Revenue Officer in October 2025; Chris O'Malley led the combined company through the integration and then retired. The portfolio TechBag covers is four products: New-Scale SIEM (cloud-native log management and SIEM), New-Scale Analytics (the UEBA and risk-scoring engine, which can also augment a SIEM you already own), Exabeam Nova (the agentic AI suite on New-Scale, which LogRhythm SIEM reaches through a cloud-hybrid add-on), and LogRhythm SIEM (self-hosted, over 1,100 prebuilt correlation rules). Exabeam was named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SIEM, its sixth Leader placement. India pricing is quote-based; Exabeam’s own 2023 Americas list sizes its cloud SIEM, analytics and Fusion subscriptions by GB ingested per day. The honest caveat is that a two-platform portfolio after a merger always raises the roadmap question, and it is a fair one to put to them directly.

The thesis

Why “behaviour, not signatures” is the whole story

A rule only catches what somebody thought to write down. A stolen credential does nothing malformed — it signs in correctly, from a plausible place, and does permitted things. Exabeam bet on baselining every user and machine and scoring the deviation— and after the 2024 LogRhythm merger it offers that in the cloud on New-Scale and, through a hybrid add-on, to self-hosted LogRhythm SIEM estates.

01
Behaviour, not signatures

Behaviour, not signatures

A rule catches what you predicted; a baseline catches what you didn’t. Exabeam scores deviation from normal per user and machine, so a stolen-but-valid credential surfaces.

02
Two platforms, deliberately

Two platforms, deliberately

After the LogRhythm merger, New-Scale is the cloud platform and LogRhythm SIEM the self-hosted one, with Axon retired — a mature product for each deployment model.

03
Analyst standing

A 2025 Gartner Leader

Named a Leader for the sixth time in Gartner’s 2025 SIEM quadrant; LogRhythm had been a Leader nine times before the merger. Judge detections on your own data.

04
Analytics you can

Analytics you can buy separately

New-Scale Analytics can sit on a SIEM you already own, adding the behavioural layer without a migration when the problem is untrusted alerts, not the log platform.

05
The roadmap question

The roadmap question is fair

Two platforms after a merger raise the question of where investment goes, and Axon’s retirement shows Exabeam consolidates overlaps. Get the roadmap in writing.

Start with the deployment question — New-Scale in the cloud or LogRhythm SIEM on your own infrastructure — then add behavioural analytics and Nova where they earn their place.

Track 02 · Buying guides

Buy it like you’ve done this before

The procurement playbook TechBag runs with IT buyers — steps, licensing cheat-sheet, and the pitfalls that cost quarters.

01

Settle deployment before anything else

Cloud or on-premises decides which half of the portfolio you are buying, and it is not a preference — it is usually a mandate. Everything after this depends on it.

02

Measure daily ingest, source by source

Exabeam’s 2023 Americas list sizes cloud subscriptions by GB/day. Measure volume per source and filter low-value logs before the meter; that sets your tier.

03

Decide whether you are replacing or augmenting

New-Scale Analytics can sit on your existing SIEM. If the log platform is fine and detections are the problem, that beats a migration.

04

Ask the roadmap question directly

Ask where investment goes for the platform you are buying, and get it in writing. Axon’s retirement shows they consolidate where products overlap.

05

Test the AI on your own alerts

Nova’s agents are scoped to real SOC jobs, a good sign. Still, run them on your own noisy alerts during evaluation, not a curated demo.

06

Get it quoted in INR with GST

Pricing is quote-only. TechBag scopes the platform fit and the ingest tier, and quotes locally with GST-compliant invoicing.

The licensing cheat-sheet

ProductLicensing modelHow you enterBest for
New-Scale SIEMOne-year subscription sized by GB ingested per day2023 US list: $36,000/yr up to 50 GB/dayCloud-capable estates
New-Scale AnalyticsGB per day; can augment a third-party SIEM2023 US list: $31,000/yr up to 50 GB/daySIEMs whose alerts nobody trusts
Exabeam NovaLicensing not published — quote-onlyOn New-Scale; LogRhythm via cloud-hybrid add-onTriage backlogs, proven in a trial
LogRhythm SIEMSubscription or perpetual, unlimited-data modelYou supply and run the infrastructureMandates that rule out SaaS

Cloud subscriptions are sized by GB ingested per day on Exabeam’s 2023 Americas list; LogRhythm SIEM is subscription or perpetual on an unlimited-data model. India pricing is quote-based. TechBag sizes your ingest source by source and quotes in INR with GST.

Five pitfalls that cost buyers quarters

1

Reading a pre-2024 comparison

Anything before the July 2024 merger describes two separate companies, and any mention of LogRhythm Axon describes a retired product. Much of it still ranks well, so check the date.

2

Trusting per-user pricing write-ups

Older material cites per-user licensing, but Exabeam’s 2023 Americas price list sizes cloud SIEM by GB ingested per day. Bring a per-source ingest measurement, not a headcount.

3

Assuming on-prem means second-class

LogRhythm SIEM is a mature product with 1,100+ prebuilt rules, not a hosted product retrofitted for on-premises. The fair question is roadmap investment, not capability today.

4

Buying the platform when you needed the layer

If your SIEM works and its detections do not, New-Scale Analytics on top of what you have is the smaller, cheaper and faster answer. Vendors rarely volunteer the smaller sale.

5

Taking AI productivity claims on trust

Agentic AI in the SOC is the whole market's current claim. Nova's agents being scoped to named jobs is a good sign, but the only evidence that counts is what they do to your alert queue during the trial.
