In this video, we’ve taken a publicly available Cribl onboarding tutorial and compared it step-by-step with Realm.Security’s onboarding process.
The results speak for themselves: Realm.Security is 6 times faster when setting up sources and destinations than Cribl.
But speed is only part of the story. Realm delivers a streamlined setup completed in just a few clicks. By contrast, Cribl’s onboarding introduces multiple points of friction and risk that can lead to costly mistakes:
Linux dependency – Even as an AWS user, the tutorial requires moving over to a Linux box, adding unnecessary complexity.
Configuration pitfalls – Cribl displays warning signs throughout setup. For example, if you don’t set the S3 path correctly, you could capture and ingest everything.
Variable values – It’s often unclear where variables are sourced from. With limited documentation context, a single mistyped entry could break the process.
Collector run risk – When running a collector, Cribl presents a 24-hour preview/discovery option without a validator. One misstep here could trigger a massive, expensive query.
Realm avoids all of these traps. We guide you with safe defaults and simple steps—no professional services required. Within minutes, you can start focusing on security outcomes, such as reducing log volume by up to 80%.
