We performed a comparison between Grafana Loki and Sumo Logic Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Investigations are something really remarkable. We can drill down right to the raw logs by running different queries and getting those on the console itself."
"The automation feature is valuable."
"We are able to deploy within half an hour and we only require one person to complete the implementation."
"The most valuable features in my experience are the UEBA, LDAP, the threat scheduler, and integration with third-party straight perform like the MISP."
"Mainly, this is a cloud-native product. So, there are zero concerns about managing the whole infrastructure on-premises."
"Sentinel's most important feature is the ability to centralize all the logs in one place. There's no need to search multiple systems for information."
"Having your logs put all in one place with machine learning working on those logs is a good feature. I don't need to start thinking, "Where are my logs?" My logs are in a centralized repository, like Log Analytics, which is why you can't use Sentinel without Log Analytics. Having all those logs in one place is an advantage."
"Sentinel pricing is good"
"The solution's stability has never been a problem. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"Loki also utilizes the same service discovery mechanism as used by Prometheus. So, whatever labeled metadata you see in Prometheus, you have the exact same metadata in the Loki system. Given this level of intricacy and the attempt to address these challenges, I firmly believe that Loki deserves praise for the work."
"The best feature of Grafana Loki is that it integrates well with our other tool."
"The log collection feature is good and the solution is easily understandable. v"
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is an open-source tool that is stable and flexible."
"The effectiveness of filters is pivotal for optimizing the search process and extracting the specific information we need from the extensive log data."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to set up alerts, which becomes necessary when we need to receive notifications for specific events."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the tool's GUI. The solution's GUI is very user-friendly."
"With this tool, we provide access to every developer team the ability to find errors, then they come to us and ask for specific help."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."
"The solution is quite stable."
"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
"Technical support is always great."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"They're giving us the queries so we can plug them right into Sentinel. They need to have a streamlined process for updating them in the tool and knowing when things are updated and knowing when there are new detections available from Microsoft."
"If Azure Sentinel had the ability to ingest Azure services from different tenants into another tenant that was hosting Azure Sentinel, and not lose any metadata, that would be a huge benefit to a lot of companies."
"Microsoft Sentinel is relatively expensive, and its cost should be improved."
"For certain vendors, some of the data that Microsoft Sentinel captures is redacted due to privacy reasons."
"Add more out-of-the-box connectors with other SaaS platforms/applications."
"The dashboards can be improved. Creating dashboards is very easy, but the visualizations are not as good as Microsoft Power BI. People who are using Microsoft Power BI do not like Sentinel's dashboards."
"While I appreciate the UI itself and the vast amount of information available on the platform, I'm finding the overall user experience to be frustrating due to frequent disconnections and the requirement to repeatedly re-authenticate."
"The AI capabilities must be improved."
"Visualization-wise, Grafana Loki's dashboard looks a little outdated compared to other open-source visualization tools like Chronograf."
"The Docker container partition feature needs improvement as they do not reuse the space and goes into a pending state."
"The correlation of requests is not simple in Grafana Loki and can be improved."
"The solution has shortcomings regarding security monitoring-oriented features that need improvement."
"The solution's scalability depends on the team managing the Grafana instance."
"My main concern is the recommended production-grade setup. They suggest using tools like Tanka or Jsonnet. They should simplify the process to increase adoption."
"Enhancing speed could be a game-changer, and while it might vary depending on the application, it's a factor worth exploring."
"In Grafana Loki, the creation of metrics is not so easy, making it an area that could be made easier."
"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."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"We would like to have some type of predefined setup for the logs, making the setup easier by default."
"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."
"The initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it."
"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."
"In my opinion, this solution has a steep learning curve and requires practice if users to be able to use this tool very efficiently."
"I would like to see improvement in the user experience when configuring things, ingesting logs, and creating ports."
