Has provided reliable alerts and helped identify infrastructure issues through detailed reporting

The best features of CrowdStrike Observability include the way they show issues to the client or agent, and their data collection method is interesting because they use an agent-less approach in some cases, collecting data from infrastructure such as firewalls. Additionally, they have the agent, but the presentation in the management console is excellent as we have observability end-to-end with the servers and all the services configured in the use cases. The intelligent alerting feature is excellent and configured on our console, being highly effective as it detects real alerts and just warnings or real issues. Identifying performance bottlenecks is important because they collect numerous MD5 or hash keys including movements or playbooks. The way they organize that in the console is excellent, allowing you to have reports detecting issues, which not only includes detection but also provides solutions to those issues.

Effective with good log analytics but needs better rule correlation

The correlation rules and log mapping are not as mature compared to other SIM tools like Splunk. Sometimes logs will not fetch, and there are issues if the log volume exceeds a threshold. Not every tool is integrated with Sumo Logic. The response time for their support could be better, and it is not very user-friendly.

More CrowdStrike Observability pros

"Sumo Logic Security offers a single dashboard and customization, which are the most valuable features."

Cons

"We had some difficulties at the beginning, but at this moment they are improving, so probably in some months I will give them a ten."

"The pricing is very high and small companies cannot afford it. They should reduce the price because the backend infrastructure is the same."

"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. Currently, there is a default ninety-day backup period."

"For reporting or log management, having a longer duration for backup without needing to purchase a paid subscription would be beneficial."

"Technical support received a rating of 4 out of 10."

"We had some difficulties at the beginning, but at this moment they are improving, so probably in some months I will give them a ten."

"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."

More CrowdStrike Observability cons

"I would like to see improvement in the user experience when configuring things, ingesting logs, and creating ports."

"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."

"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."

"The correlation rules and log mapping are not as mature compared to other SIM tools like Splunk."

"I would like better UI-driven functionality to create alerts and reports. Now, we have to understand the syntax, so it is a little difficult for someone to pick it up without using the manuals. If there was more of a graphical user interface, it would be beneficial."

"We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels."

"The integration with multiple sources could be better."

"It would be nice to have an improved ability to scroll through logs within a time frame. Right now, we can search for specific errors. However, if we want to look for "before and after" within a specific time frame, it's not easy using the tool. This would be an improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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."

"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."

"The license pricing model is based on the events that are processed through the solution."

"The pricing is a little high, but for the features that we receive from Sumo Logic, it suits the price. For some small organizations, the price might be a little high."

"I don't pay the bill. I've heard the AWS Marketplace pricing is high, but I like the value."

"The product is costly."

"The pricing is good. It's not an issue for us."

"The only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."
