They are slow, and the initial responses often require more information rather than providing helpful solutions.

I have faced challenges with technical support from Sentinel, though Sentinel support is better than Google's, while Splunk support is also not that great.

Room For Improvement

Google Chronicle Suite requires user-friendly enhancements in dashboard, API integration, log management, alerting, and threat intelligence features.
Sumo Logic Security needs improvement in dashboards, user experience, integration, threat insights, risk alerts, scalability, and pricing.
The graphical user interface could be improved to enhance user experience.
Senior Solution Architect at Stichting Inlichtingenbureau
The UI is the primary challenge in need of improvement.
Google Cloud Security Tech Lead - EMEA at Devoteam Management Consulting
Google Chronicle Suite lacks near time detection.
Team Lead, Security Operations Center at Secureops
This can lead to alerts that are collections of disjointed signals that sometimes make no sense and lack real context; this simplistic approach makes it hard to find coherent stories during investigations.
CSO at Altera
The correlation rules and log mapping are not as mature compared to other SIM tools like Splunk.
SOC Analyst at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
This is crucial to sell to the government and financial sectors as they require data retention within each country.
Deputy Country Manager at PT Securite Asia Indonesia (ABP Securite)
 

Setup Cost

Google Chronicle offers flexible, competitive pricing but can become costly for larger businesses with additional platforms.
Sumo Logic Security pricing is reasonable for enterprises via AWS Marketplace, offering a balance of cost and functionality.
It's neither expensive nor cheap, and I believe it is a justified price for the features offered.
Google Cloud Security Tech Lead - EMEA at Devoteam Management Consulting
Compared to a SIEM like Microsoft Sentinel, it is much more affordable.
Team Lead, Security Operations Center at Secureops
I experience Chronicle as less expensive and less complicated than Azure.
Senior Solution Architect at Stichting Inlichtingenbureau
This makes it more cost-effective because other solutions often include a third element in their pricing.
Deputy Country Manager at PT Securite Asia Indonesia (ABP Securite)
 

Valuable Features

Google Chronicle Suite excels in threat response, seamless integration, automation, and cost-effective data management for audits and compliance.
Sumo Logic Security provides efficient log management, customization, and integration features, making it ideal for real-time monitoring and digital transformation.
They also combine their source solution into one product, allowing for out-of-the-box playbook creation and incident response.

The AI infused into the platform helps in investigations and rule creation.
Google Cloud Security Tech Lead - EMEA at Devoteam Management Consulting
The automated response feature allows for immediate actions like isolating infected machines or blocking malicious IP addresses.
Senior Solution Architect at Stichting Inlichtingenbureau
The features I find most useful in Sumo Logic Security are the ease of implementation and connectors; they have a very easy connection and many connectors to important systems, making it very easy to implement and fast to start running in production.
CSO at Altera
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.
SOC Analyst at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Featured Reviews

Viney Bhardwaj - PeerSpot reviewer
Director at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
Has required significant customization but has supported threat pattern discovery and AI-driven analytics
The integration of Google Chronicle Suite with existing SIEM systems needs to be more mature, so some customization is required. With custom applications, it's quite difficult, and they need to work on this. The automated threat detection features in Google Chronicle Suite come with a lot of false positives and noise. They are new to the market and need to improve significantly. Customization is vital where users can customize the alerts, dashboard, or content as per their needs. This is more required in Google Chronicle Suite, allowing analysts or engineers to create according to the organization. They need to provide cheaper options for online versus offline log storage and improve retention and compression of the logs. Especially searching offline logs is a feature missing from most SIEM solutions nowadays.
SC
CSO at Altera
Has improved implementation speed and coverage but lacks contextual accuracy in alerts
One major improvement I would suggest for Sumo Logic Security is in its risk-based alerting system; while it initially sounds clever and modern, it works as a point-based system where an IP address or entity gets points for bad actions, raising alerts when enough points are collected. This can lead to alerts that are collections of disjointed signals that sometimes make no sense and lack real context; this simplistic approach makes it hard to find coherent stories during investigations. To improve in the support area, I recommend enhancing the technical part because, while the process is good, the actual quality may depend on the personnel involved.
