Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
ArchiveSocial
- Coverage depends entirely on third party platform APIs, so when a network restricts or reprices its API the archive's completeness changes for reasons the vendor does not control.
- Pricing scales with the number of archived accounts, so an agency where every department runs its own page pays repeatedly for the same compliance obligation.
- It archives rather than governs, so it will faithfully preserve a policy violation without preventing it, and agencies still need social media policy and training.
- Since the 2021 CivicPlus acquisition the product is part of a municipal suite, so buyers avoiding that vendor for other reasons are still buying from them.
- The value is entirely insurance shaped, which makes it a perennial target during budget cuts right up until the first records request it would have answered.
LogRhythm SIEM
- No pricing published; sales contact required
- No public information on licensing model or per-unit costs

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
ArchiveSocial: Why not just export data from the platforms?
Platform exports do not reliably capture deleted or edited content and carry no chain of custody, which is what makes an archive usable as evidence.
LogRhythm SIEM: How does Exabeam (formerly LogRhythm SIEM) handle pricing?
Exabeam does not publish pricing on its website. To obtain pricing information, request a demo through the website or contact Exabeam's sales team directly for a personalized quote based on your deployment size and requirements.
SourceArchiveSocial: Are public comments on our posts records?
In many United States jurisdictions yes, and deleted comments have been the subject of litigation against agencies.
LogRhythm SIEM: Is there a free trial or freemium version of Exabeam?
Exabeam does not advertise a free trial or freemium tier on its homepage. Interested buyers must contact the sales team to discuss trial availability and pricing options.
SourceArchiveSocial: Who owns ArchiveSocial?
