Featured Reviews

Shaik Shaheer - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly commendable and robust solution offering powerful features and comprehensive log data management
It allows us to efficiently manage and store our data. Its compression and archiving features not only reduce storage costs but also minimize the infrastructure resources needed for data backup. Since we have multiple security solutions in place, it allows us to streamline data handling. We can selectively send security-related events to the SIEM while directing other non-security events from various tools to Falcon LogScale. This flexibility ensures that we have access to all the data we need when required, and we can easily export this data from it as necessary, optimizing our data management and making it readily available for analysis or other purposes.
Vinay Patel D N - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the key features is the fast search functionality, enabling us to get results within a few seconds."
"The fast search and index-free data retention are very valuable."
"It offers the capability to view live log ingestion directly from the console which means you can seamlessly manage live log data ingestion alongside accessing and analyzing older data from the past."
"We use it to ingest Windows domain controller logs. We use this to monitor if anyone is placed in particular administration groups that potentially shouldn't be. It helps us keep track of people."
"The most valuable features of Sumo Logic Security are the rules, use cases, and ease of use. Additionally, the integration is straightforward and good GUI."
"We are able to diagnose problems before our customers."
"Sumo Logic is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos."
"We can integrate threat intelligence solutions into the product."
"Scalability has been good for our needs. We haven't run into any scaling issues in regards to size so far."
"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
"Support has been excellent. Sumo Logic's support staff is really good, both their account management staff and direct support."
 

Cons

"The integration could improve."
"The price could be lower."
"There are some overlapping features found in multiple tools."
"The API integration in Sumo Logic Security could improve. There are delayed connections or they stop and then automatically start. Having a seamless log collection would be beneficial."
"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."
"If you want to up your subscription through the AWS Marketplace, it can be difficult. You can't just go back to the AWS Marketplace, and say, "I want a bigger one now." You have to contact the sales team, then they do it on the back-end. This could definitely be improved."
"We would like to have some type of predefined setup for the logs, making the setup easier by default."
"Sumo Logic Security is expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"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."
"The initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it."
"If you look at some of the other offerings right now that are available in the market, they do offer APM as well as the product they're offering. I believe Sumo Logic is not there yet. So that's something which I would love to see."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace is very easy."
"Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."
"Purchasing Sumo Logic through the AWS Marketplace was a simple step."
"The product is costly."
"Storing logs in Sumo Logic Security is charged GB-wise, which is a little higher than other products."
"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."
"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."
