Featured Reviews

Usman Bhatti - PeerSpot reviewer
Simple deployment, scalable, but lacking third-party solution compatibility
Integrating IBM Resilient with other applications can be very difficult and technically challenging. Often, they use the excuse that you are using the latest version of an application, such as an endpoint security system, and they don't have an API or support for it at the moment. There is no automation in the SOAR solution. It's worth noting that many third-party add-on applications needed to be purchased separately to integrate with IBM Resilient. While there were built-in applications available for incident remediation, the selection was limited. Additionally, integrating third-party applications was often a difficult and time-consuming process due to the technical complexity involved.
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.

"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."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"Support has been excellent. Sumo Logic's support staff is really good, both their account management staff and direct support."
"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
 

Cons

"The implementation could be a bit simpler."
"The integration could be improved so that it is easy to integrate with other solutions."
"It is not very straightforward to set up custom integrations, especially with services like Azure. You need an additional server for integration."
"The product must provide more integration with other tools."
"This product could be improved with better customization. This product isn't the best on the market like QRadar, but it's actually a good solution. However, some competitors' solutions contain more integration, support, automation, or flexibility."
"What could make IBM Resilient better is if IBM increased the number of built-in integrations with different products from other vendors or third-party products."
"Integrating IBM Resilient with other applications can be very difficult and technically challenging. Often, they use the excuse that you are using the latest version of an application, such as an endpoint security system, and they don't have an API or support for it at the moment. There is no automation in the SOAR solution."
"The tool needs to improve its documentation on license scripts."
"I would like to see improvement in the user experience when configuring things, ingesting logs, and creating ports."
"There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"The solution should improve its UI."
"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."
"In my opinion, this solution has a steep learning curve and requires practice if users to be able to use this tool very efficiently."
"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."
"The correlation rules and log mapping are not as mature compared to other SIM tools like Splunk."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license you need to pay for in order to use this product."
"The licensing cost for IBM Resilient is not too expensive, but it's not affordable, so it's moderately expensive. Regarding price, I'm rating the solution seven out of ten. The company pays for the license yearly, based on the number of users. Apart from the cost of the license you need to pay for each user, you also need to spend an initial investment for the base platform. You also have to pay for IBM Resilient support."
"The cost of the product is quite high."
"It is very expensive."
"I would rate the tool’s pricing a three out of ten. The tool’s pricing is on a yearly basis."
"We could create unlimited users using the license we had purchased."
"I feel it is an expensive product when my company pays annually for renewal, support, and follow-up."
"Pricing for the solution is good, in my opinion."
"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 license pricing model is based on the events that are processed through the solution."
"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."
"The product is costly."
"Purchasing Sumo Logic through the AWS Marketplace was a simple step."
"The only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."
