The CrowdStrike team is very efficient; I would rate them ten out of ten.
Security Analyst at NTT Ltd
They could improve by initiating calls for high-priority cases instead of just opening tickets.
Information Security Specialist at Arab Open University
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

Sentiment score
7.9
Sumo Logic Security offers scalable solutions for various environments, though some users express concerns about pricing.
It has adequate coverage and is easy to deploy.
Senior Principal Information Security Analyst at Veritas Technologies LLC
In terms of scalability, I find CrowdStrike to be stable, and I have not encountered any limitations with it.
CyberSecurity Architects at VaporVM
There's no scalability limitation from CrowdStrike itself, as it just requires agent deployment.
Large account Manager at Softcell Technologies Limited
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
8.1
CrowdStrike Falcon is highly rated for stability, minimal issues, easy integration, and prompt resolution, ensuring reliable performance.
Sentiment score
8.0
Sumo Logic Security is highly stable with minimal issues, requiring optimized queries for performance, rating mostly seven to nine.
I have never seen instability in the CrowdStrike tool.
Security Analyst at NTT Ltd
We are following N-1 versions across our environment, which is stable.
Senior Principal Information Security Analyst at Veritas Technologies LLC
The biggest issue occurred when every computer worldwide experienced a blue screen.
Information Security Specialist at Arab Open University
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
 

Room For Improvement

CrowdStrike Falcon needs improved integration, reporting, support, cost-effectiveness, and feature expansion with enhanced interfaces and policy flexibility.
Sumo Logic Security needs improvement in dashboards, user experience, integration, threat insights, risk alerts, scalability, and pricing.
Simplifying the querying process, such as using double quote queries or directly obtaining logs based on IP addresses or usernames, would be beneficial.
Security Analyst at NTT Ltd
Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options.
Senior Principal Information Security Analyst at Veritas Technologies LLC
Threat prevention should be their first priority.
Group Manager at HCLSoftware
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
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
This is crucial to sell to the government and financial sectors as they require data retention within each country.
Deputy Country Manager at PT Securite Asia Indonesia (ABP Securite)
 

Setup Cost

CrowdStrike Falcon offers variable pricing based on volume and features, with discounts, providing robust security for enterprises.
Sumo Logic Security pricing is reasonable for enterprises via AWS Marketplace, offering a balance of cost and functionality.
It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it.
Senior Principal Information Security Analyst at Veritas Technologies LLC
The licensing cost and setup costs are affordable.
Computer Engineer at OIC, Alshirawi
The solution is a bit expensive.
Information Security Specialist at Arab Open University
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)
 

Valuable Features

CrowdStrike Falcon offers AI-driven threat detection, real-time visibility, cloud-native architecture, and seamless incident response for robust security.
Sumo Logic Security provides efficient log management, customization, and integration features, making it ideal for real-time monitoring and digital transformation.
I can investigate by accessing the customer's host based on the RTR environment and utilize host search to know details for the past seven days, including logins, processes, file installations, malicious processes, and network connections.
Security Analyst at NTT Ltd
The real-time analytics aspect of CrowdStrike performs well because we get all logs in real-time, with no delay, allowing us to take action immediately.
CyberSecurity Architects at VaporVM
Being an EDR solution, it helps us identify attacks in real-time.
Information Security Specialist at Arab Open University
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
If we cannot find the data in other tools, like email security or NDR, we can fetch those logs in the Log Analytics platform of Sumo Logic.
SOC Analyst at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Sumo Logic Security offers a single dashboard and customization, which are the most valuable features.
Deputy Country Manager at PT Securite Asia Indonesia (ABP Securite)

Featured Reviews

Waleed Omar - PeerSpot reviewer
Information Security Specialist at Arab Open University
Provides effective real-time threat detection with potential for cost optimization
Some features such as device control, firewall management, and file analysis are standalone products that we need to purchase separately. If these features came out of the box within the product, it would be much more beneficial for us. Other providers such as SentinelOne include these features in their base product. We attended a CrowdStrike Falcon event where they discussed some shallow AI features, but we cannot see these in our panel yet. We work with different solutions such as Darktrace and SocRadar, where AI features are automatically displayed in our dashboards after release. However, for CrowdStrike Falcon, we cannot see these features.
SC
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.
