We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and Sumo Logic Observability based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Great out-of-the-box capability."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"Alerting and consistency are key. We have different tiers with log collectors, and continuous querying provides near-real-time updates. It's almost like instantly when something happens, like pending transactions or error fees. This helps reduce incident resolution time compared to waiting for thresholds on other platforms. We can continue logging in with them seamlessly and quickly get into action."
"I have not seen any stability issues in the product."
"Sumo Logic Observability presents a range of valuable features, including well-crafted dashboards and a diverse selection of helpful apps. However, personally, I don't hold a favorable opinion of the solution. While I don't struggle with writing queries, my main difficulty lies in recruiting competent individuals and ensuring their proficiency in utilizing the solution. This often leads to additional challenges and complexities. From my perspective, when compared to Microsoft Sentinel or even Splunk, Sumo Logic Observability has a steeper learning curve. One contributing factor to this disparity is the solution's long existence in the market compared to Synlogic. Nevertheless, I acknowledge that there are capable and knowledgeable professionals employed at Sumo Logic Observability. The effectiveness of the solution largely depends on how it is integrated into your internal operations and environment. Its utility and benefits can vary significantly. It is worth noting that organizations like the NSA and, I believe, the CIA used it in the past, primarily for rapidly searching and analyzing large volumes of data. To leverage its capabilities effectively, you must determine how to tailor it to your specific needs."
"The solution allows multiple groups to converge on a unified platform, allowing for different utilization by various teams."
"The product is easy to learn."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"The other element is that there are no real templates, out of the box. Let's go with an example where we do have the probe, which is great, and we do have a really nuanced customer with a small set of devices that maybe not a lot of other customers use. There might not be a template in place, so effectively we have the tool in front of us but we still need to develop a solution. So it would be really nice to see a little bit more of something like a central repository of templates that we could use. That would help us expedite our onboarding process."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"There is also room for improvement in the reporting. It is not really good enough, according to our customers. So what we now usually do is use Power BI to get them the kinds of reports they want."
"Fine-grained data can be quite frustrating to work with and should be made easier."
"SearchUI.exe is a bit clunky in the product, making it an area where the product needs improvements."
"Implementing a more streamlined enrichment process, and conceptualizing the observability data collection as an ETL pipeline would be helpful."
"Documentation could be better. While it's generally good, sometimes finding what you need requires extensive searching. It's not always clear where to look for specific things."
