Why Enterprises Choose AxoLocker  vs. syslog‑ng™ Store Box?

Ready to explore syslog-ng™ Store Box alternatives? Learn why enterprises choose AxoLocker - built by the original creators and maintainers of syslog-ng™ - over SSB.
All-in-one appliance to search and store security data with encryption, access governance, and high availability.
Runs anywhere. In the cloud, on-prem, or BYOS (bring your own storage), all managed the same way.
Actively developed and professionally supported by the creators of syslog-ng™.

Open by default

Data lands in Apache Parquet and OCSF from the start, so it's portable to any downstream tool, no proprietary format to migrate away from later.

Warm, always accessible

All data stays in a single warm, Parquet-based tier. No rehydration wait, no lifecycle rules to tune, no surprise latency on older data. Archive via NFS or S3.

Professional support

Axoflow is actively developed and professionally supported. We are not only the original creators of syslog-ng™ but we are still contributing to syslog-ng™ Open Source Edition.
