We're using AlertLogic which operates as a SaaS model, with on-site

The basic features, searching, reports, correlation, alerts etc. are there-
plus the fact that it gets our logs off-site for additional protection.

Very competitive pricing for our needs- and certainly much easier than the
proliferation of log repositories we used to have.
The SaaS model removes the high up-front capital costs and puts maintenance
and patching the system into their bucket of responsibilities.

Wow...  so you're sending all of your logs "to the cloud" and managing
them that way?  What sorts of logs are you sending there?  Both
sensitive and non-sensitive logs?  What information did they provide you
about security, encryption, etc?
