Security Operations at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees
We have never had an issue, and if we ask, somebody answers quickly, either our account rep or if we submit a ticket, they are very quick about getting back to us.
System Administrator at W. O. Grubb Steel Erection, Inc.
They have a response time of forty-eight hours, which is not instant support.
Soc Analyst at a outsourcing company with 5,001-10,000 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.

The tool has high scalability because everything is based in the cloud.

Security Engineer at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees
 

Room For Improvement

CrowdStrike Falcon SIEM needs better dashboards, automation, storage, licensing flexibility, and more cat-themed threat actor integrations.
Users urge improvements in interface usability, automation, integration, support, AI capabilities, pricing, and visualization for Sumo Logic Security.
I would suggest including data normalization, specifically a way to easily normalize data from different sources, as currently you can do it, but it is a little bit more labor-intensive.
System Administrator at W. O. Grubb Steel Erection, Inc.
If we can get alerts based upon the CPU utilizations and the metrics over there, probably that would make this one tool used for everything.
IAM Senior Software Engineer at MGM Resorts International
I believe CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM can be improved by continuing on the path it is on.
Security Operations at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees
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 outsourcing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
 

Setup Cost

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 / Founder / GRC at VINCTA BV
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.

Valuable Features

CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM enhances speed, integrates data sources, scales efficiently, and improves detection accuracy, reducing workload.
Sumo Logic Security offers comprehensive log aggregation, AI analytics, and scalability, enhancing detection, response, and operational efficiency.
CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM has had a significant impact on alert volume, false positives, and analyst workload by using lookup tables to improve detection context.
Security Operations at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees
CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM has changed the speed at which my team searches, investigates, and responds to security events, with things going from days to minutes or hours.
System Administrator at W. O. Grubb Steel Erection, Inc.
CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM has changed the speed at which my team searches, investigates, and responds to security events significantly, as it triggers really fast, allowing us to capture the logs and determine the problem or the alerts.
Avp Cyber Pen Test Master
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.

Centralized log onboarding has transformed root-cause analysis and streamlined alert-driven triage
I do not use automations within CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM at this point, but that is something that we want to do in the future. Maybe I did not experiment or did not investigate, but if we can get alerts based upon the CPU utilizations and the metrics over there, probably that would make this one tool used for everything. Actually, the circumstances that prompted my company to explore new SIEM solutions maybe include a point where the storage space or the license that we have, probably compared to other SIEM products, they have more, or the pricing and sales that go into the picture there. Again, that is above my pay grade to comment on, but it probably could be better if we can provide more storage of the data for the license that has been provided for organizations.

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.
