Automated alerting and reporting excel while cost and feature limitations remain
I find automation to be one of the best and most valuable features of the product. Machine learning is incorporated into the solution, though AI is a broader term that I wouldn't apply here. I haven't personally explored AI yet, but I will investigate it. Machine learning functions more as automation in my experience, as there's no training involved yet. I want to conduct R&D on another project with Wazuh to determine how to capture usage, for example, tracking user logins and time spent. This is where I need to implement machine learning. Additionally, the extraction of GeoIP adds complexity. The solution is effectively reducing incident response times in operations.

CSO at Altera
Has improved implementation speed and coverage but lacks contextual accuracy in alerts
One major improvement I would suggest for Sumo Logic Security is in its risk-based alerting system; while it initially sounds clever and modern, it works as a point-based system where an IP address or entity gets points for bad actions, raising alerts when enough points are collected. 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. To improve in the support area, I recommend enhancing the technical part because, while the process is good, the actual quality may depend on the personnel involved.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We have found the solution has great functionality and it is easy to use."
"The integration capabilities of ConnectWise SIEM are off the shelf, making it easy to buy and use; you just unpack it and use it."
"One valuable feature of ConnectWise Fortify is the ability to add other teams and receive notifications when customers make changes or remove multi-factor authentication in Microsoft or SAP environments."
"The most valuable features of Sumo Logic Security are the rules, use cases, and ease of use. Additionally, the integration is straightforward and good GUI."
"It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
"The features I found valuable with the Sumo Logic Security solution are the search option and the ability to customize the search for the information in the logs."
"We use it to ingest Windows domain controller logs. We use this to monitor if anyone is placed in particular administration groups that potentially shouldn't be. It helps us keep track of people."
"Technical support is always great."
"For many of our services, we use Sumo Logic to track errors and send notifications to our Slack channel, if there are issues. Then, we have our support people monitoring this, and they can react quickly."
"It provides easy visibility. I also like the shareable queries because we share a lot across groups."
"Support has been excellent. Sumo Logic's support staff is really good, both their account management staff and direct support."
 

Cons

"ConnectWise SIEM is primarily focused on notifications and is limited in that aspect, while Wazuh can automate the elimination process."
"ConnectWise Fortify could work on covering more areas, like phishing messages, which have become more complicated to detect."
"The manage portion of the solution is complicated and should be simplified by having different versions to meet the needs of different size companies."
"I would like to see improvement in the user experience when configuring things, ingesting logs, and creating ports."
"We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels."
"From the network segmentation side, there is some discrepancy in log onboarding. The tool needs to improve direct API integrations, login integration, native login integration, etc."
"It took a bit of trial and error to get it set up correctly based on everything we had to do. In the end, we had to send everything over HTTP, which was sort of a stop-gap."
"We would like to have some type of predefined setup for the logs, making the setup easier by default."
"The correlation rules and log mapping are not as mature compared to other SIM tools like Splunk."
"Sumo Logic Security is expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"In my opinion, this solution has a steep learning curve and requires practice if users to be able to use this tool very efficiently."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing is good. It's not an issue for us."
"Purchasing Sumo Logic through the AWS Marketplace was a simple step."
"I don't pay the bill. I've heard the AWS Marketplace pricing is high, but I like the value."
"The license pricing model is based on the events that are processed through the solution."
"Storing logs in Sumo Logic Security is charged GB-wise, which is a little higher than other products."
"The product is costly."
"Purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace is very easy."
"The only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."
