AntoSebastin - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable SIEM solution for monitoring a user's activity in the file server
The most valuable features of the solution are its quick and simple features related to advanced permissions for files, allowing for what permission needs to be granted to the users when it comes to the monitoring folder in the solution. If someone who has been denied permission to use a particular folder tries to go to that folder, then the administrator gets a notification. In general, the administrator can easily gather and maintain records if a person who has been denied permission to a particular confidential folder tries to access it.
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

"It is a good and stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Our customer acquires the complete report which is kept for future auditing purposes."
"Alerting upon file changes is the most valuable aspect of the product."
"We can integrate threat intelligence solutions into the product."
"The Log Analytics platform is the most effective. 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."
"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
"We are able to diagnose problems before our customers."
"It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
"Support has been excellent. Sumo Logic's support staff is really good, both their account management staff and direct support."
"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."
"Sumo Logic is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos."
 

Cons

"The updates management and central management console could be improved."
"Whenever someone cuts and paste, it shows as "file is deleted"."
"The DLP function, including installation of the agent on the workstation and controlling the DLP restrictions, are areas where the product lacks."
"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."
"We would like to have some type of predefined setup for the logs, making the setup easier by default."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"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."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"Sumo Logic Security is expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"FileAudit provides a trial license for 30 days, and after that, customers can choose between perpetual licensing or the annual-based licensing option offered by FileAudit."
"Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."
"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 price scaling comes in a bit expensive."
"Purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace is very easy."
"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."
"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 good. It's not an issue for us."
