Which one for what
The clean decision guide for common Indian B2B scenarios. Pick the row that fits.
Your log volume is growing fast and cost predictability matters most
DNIF’s per-GB slab model with 365-day hot retention controls the SIEM budget as you scale.
You’re an MSSP building security services for multiple clients
Seceon’s multi-tenant architecture is purpose-built for that model; DNIF supports it but isn’t as MSSP-native.
You want SOAR and automated remediation without stacking separate licences
Seceon bundles this natively into the core platform from day one.
You need to query old logs without a storage-tier performance penalty
DNIF’s single hot-tier architecture avoids the query tax that tiered-storage SIEMs charge.
You’re evaluating SIEM for the first time on a limited security budget
Both offer transparent, forecastable pricing; DNIF prices by GB ingested, Seceon by asset count.
