Protection improves through superior global visibility and robust cloud integration
CrowdStrike Observability is especially useful when using a multi-cloud environment. Although it is expensive, the protection level it provides justifies the price. For users on Google Cloud, I prefer using Google's GTI technology. Overall, I would rate CrowdStrike Observability as nine out of ten. I rate the overall solution as nine.

Offers a single dashboard with customizable features and a cost-effective pricing structure
Sumo Logic Security offers a single dashboard and customization, which are the most valuable features. Additionally, it has a cost-effective structure because it is based on data storage and the number of scans, rather than uploading data. This cost model impacts the customers positively by offering a more straightforward pricing structure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The intelligence database provided by CrowdStrike is very impressive."
"I find the most effective feature of CrowdStrike Observability to be its cloud vision and attack surface vision, which enhance network traffic analysis."
"The log aggregation and correlation of data are notable features that enhance our operations."
"The price is worth it."
"The intelligence database provided by CrowdStrike is very impressive."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"Sumo Logic is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos."
"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."
"Sumo Logic Security offers a single dashboard and customization, which are the most valuable features."
"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
"The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."
"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."
 

Cons

"For reporting or log management, having a longer duration for backup without needing to purchase a paid subscription would be beneficial. Currently, there is a default ninety-day backup period."
"Integration with Huawei should be more straightforward."
"The customer service is not satisfactory for me. The support is only available in English, and my users in LATAM regions such as Peru and Colombia require local language support, which is not currently provided."
"Integration with Huawei should be more straightforward."
"For reporting or log management, having a longer duration for backup without needing to purchase a paid subscription would be beneficial."
"In terms of improvement, feedback indicates there is a need for a local data center in my country. This is crucial to sell to the government and financial sectors as they require data retention within each country."
"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."
"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."
"There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."
"We would like to have some type of predefined setup for the logs, making the setup easier by default."
"I don't recommend this product."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Storing logs in Sumo Logic Security is charged GB-wise, which is a little higher than other products."
"Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."
"The AWS Marketplace pricing is borderline. Every annual renewal, we always contemplate if we are getting what we think we could out of it or could we do it cheaper with some other product."
"The AWS Marketplace pricing is fairly reasonable for what it does. I wouldn't call it expensive, but I wouldn't call it cheap. It is pretty good."
"If we went to ELK Stack, which is open source, it would have been less costly, but it would have required more development from our side."
"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."
"The price scaling comes in a bit expensive."
