# Determine the Cloud SIEM product your organization is using

## Overview{% #overview %}

Cloud SIEM is available as the following products:

- Standalone
  - 12 months (365 days, usage measured in GB)
  - 15 months (450 days, usage measured in millions of events)
Important alert (level: info): Organizations that adopted Standalone before 12-month retention was introduced have a 15-month retention period. The documentation refers to both as Standalone, because they provide the same features.
- Add-on with Flex Logs
- Legacy

Standalone 12 months is the default product for new Cloud SIEM organizations. In Standalone:

- Usage is measured in gigabytes of analyzed logs, rather than in millions of analyzed events.
- Ingestion of logs indexed in the Cloud SIEM index is included in the analyzed log cost, rather than billed separately.
- Data is retained for 365 days (12 months), rather than for 15 months.

There are two ways to see which Cloud SIEM product your organization is using:

- Check the Plan & Usage page
- Check the Cloud SIEM settings page

To compare what each product includes, see Features by Cloud SIEM product.

## Check the Plan & Usage page{% #plan-usage %}

{% alert level="info" %}
You may not be able to use this option if:
- You don't have access to this page
- Your organization has multi-org configured; the Plan & Usage page is a roll-up of all sub-orgs, so you might see multiple Cloud SIEM product tiles
In either case, follow the instructions in the Check the Cloud SIEM settings page section to determine which product your organization is using.
{% /alert %}

1. In Datadog, go to Plan & Usage > [**Usage & Cost**](https://app.datadoghq.com/billing/usage) page.
1. Scroll to the **Usage Summary** section and click the Security tab.
1. Find the tile that indicates which Cloud SIEM product your organization is using:

## Check the Cloud SIEM settings page{% #settings %}

In Datadog, go to the [Cloud SIEM settings](https://app.datadoghq.com/security/configuration/siem/setup) page. The page shows either a Core Configuration or Settings section, which indicates the Cloud SIEM product your organization is using.
