The return on investment I have seen with Sumo Logic Security in the past year and a half is tough to quantify, but I would estimate it has hit the milestones we set internally for return on investment.

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.7
OpenText Behavioral Signals' support is responsive and skilled, but resolution may be slow and feedback sometimes lacks depth.
Sentiment score
7.0
Sumo Logic Security is praised for efficient customer service and effective technical support, though regional response times may vary.
They have a response time of forty-eight hours, which is not instant support.
SOC Analyst at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
In general, they usually provide continuous support post-implementation, being in touch and trying to help, which makes their after-sale process better than Splunk.
CSO at Altera
Sumo Logic Security has really good customer support.
CISO at Mambu
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.3
OpenText Behavioral Signals faces scalability challenges, while technologies like ArcSight Intelligence excel, prompting consideration of alternatives like Splunk.
Sentiment score
7.6
Sumo Logic Security is adaptable, scales with business growth, excels in cloud environments, and consistently receives high flexibility ratings.
Sumo Logic Security scales up automatically because it is a cloud-native SIEM, and I do not need to worry about hardware clusters or capacity planning.
Security Engineer at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees
The tool has high scalability because everything is based in the cloud.
Deputy Country Manager at PT Securite Asia Indonesia (ABP Securite)
I did not face any significant issues with Sumo Logic Security, but the pricing may be a concern as they try to upsell and raise the prices very quickly.
CSO at Altera
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.4
OpenText Behavioral Signals is praised for its stability, receiving high ratings and fostering user trust through reliable performance.
Sentiment score
8.0
Sumo Logic Security is highly reliable, efficiently handling large data with minimal performance issues and rare support needs.
If there are many records, the system may stop or the UI may become unresponsive.
SOC Analyst at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The query language is pretty straightforward and easy, and it is very powerful for building different searches and dashboards that will serve for later exploration of the same interests I have.
CSO at Altera
It operates very well as a cloud-native SaaS platform with high availability, and there is no downtime that I have experienced.
Security Engineer at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees
 

Room For Improvement

OpenText and ArcSight require updates for usability, scalability, and pricing to compete with QRadar and Splunk effectively.
Users urge improvements in interface usability, automation, integration, support, AI capabilities, pricing, and visualization for Sumo Logic Security.
This can lead to alerts that are collections of disjointed signals that sometimes make no sense and lack real context; this simplistic approach makes it hard to find coherent stories during investigations.
CSO at Altera
I would also appreciate the AWS automation integrations to be more secure because currently, they are using access keys, which involves a user rather than roles, which is the security best practice recommended by AWS.
Senior Security Analyst at City Electric Supply Company
The correlation rules and log mapping are not as mature compared to other SIM tools like Splunk.
SOC Analyst at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
 

Setup Cost

OpenText Behavioral Signals offers enterprise-priced licensing options with additional charges for new features not in the base license.
Sumo Logic Security offers mid-range pricing, balancing cost and functionality, with convenience through AWS Marketplace but increasing costs with usage.
This makes it more cost-effective because other solutions often include a third element in their pricing.
Deputy Country Manager at PT Securite Asia Indonesia (ABP Securite)
From one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I would put Sumo Logic Security at a seven.
CISO at Mambu
If you go to the well-known vendors such as Azure Sentinel or other tools like Splunk, you are going to find them costly since they are well-known and they have much more integration compared to Sumo Logic Security.
Security Analyst at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
 

Valuable Features

OpenText Behavioral Signals synthesizes diverse logs, customizes environments, and enhances efficiency with a user-friendly, consolidated interface.
Sumo Logic Security offers comprehensive log aggregation, AI analytics, and scalability, enhancing detection, response, and operational efficiency.
The features I find most useful in Sumo Logic Security are the ease of implementation and connectors; they have a very easy connection and many connectors to important systems, making it very easy to implement and fast to start running in production.
CSO at Altera
They are able to save time on fewer alerts because we are able to perform tuning on the logs to be able to only get relevant or security relevant incidents.
Senior Security Analyst at City Electric Supply Company
My SOC analysts were crushed under Splunk, but Sumo has actually eased the workload and made it tolerable for three people.
CISO at Mambu

Information Security at Synechron
Has essential threat detection capabilities, but the features for intelligence need enhancement
We integrated this tool with our security infrastructure. We installed it on a Linux server, where we have a Logger and ESM installed. With the Linux server as the hub, we manage all the configurations and rules, including those for email triggers. The logs are routed through a connector to the Logger, allowing us to monitor our infrastructure effectively. The platform helps us improve threat detection capabilities. I recommend it to others and rate it a seven out of ten.

Security insights have enabled faster incident response and streamlined cross-team collaboration
To improve Sumo Logic Security, I would appreciate the tool being easier to use from a search perspective. For example, we have a few teams that want to use the tool itself, but they are not as savvy when it comes to creating searches from the core platform. I understand that Mobot has come out and is in the works, and it really does assist non-savvy users when it comes to querying the platform. As far as that is concerned, I wish that could be improved a bit more, but I do know that that is in the works. I would add that I wish for improved documentation. For example, we are using Sumo Playbooks and automation integrations along with that, but I have found that there has been a lack of documentation, very little to none at all when it comes to that. With regards to automation integrations as well, there are very few details included in them. I would also appreciate the AWS automation integrations to be more secure because currently, they are using access keys, which involves a user rather than roles, which is the security best practice recommended by AWS. I chose eight out of ten because to make it a nine or ten, I would lean heavily on the documentation. A lot of the times when we get around to configuring things such as playbooks or trying to understand playbooks, what I found was that documentation sometimes is not up to date or documentation is lacking. There are instances also where some security best practices are not being followed. So, if we are able to set up an integration that is not only secure, following security best practices, and has complete documentation, I believe it would alleviate the issue of having to go back and forth with support to check the documentation and things of that nature. My impression of the built-in threat intelligence feature in Sumo Logic Security is that it is comprehensive, but I would say that it could do a little bit better. For example, we have the TAXI feeds, which is STIX and TAXI integrated into the core platform, but the issue I am running into is that I am able to use that feed into a CSE alert; however, I am not able to see the contents of that feed. If I integrate CISA, which we do have integrated, I cannot see what IOCs are in that feed in the core platform, and I hope that is the case because, in order for us to better tune our alerts, we need to be able to see what is in the contents of that threat intelligence feed.

Cybereason vs. Interset vs. SQRRL
Capture DB - they all use NoSQL db and hence solve the ad hoc query and 'go back in time' problem with current best of breed SIEM and DLP solutions that rely on real time analysis of incoming logs (and don't store them). This means deeper and quicker iterative threat analysis and assessment…
