We performed a comparison between Nagios XI and Sumo Logic Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The connectivity and analytics are great."
"One of the most valuable features is that it creates a kind of a single pane of glass for organizations that already use Microsoft software. So, when they have things like Microsoft 365, it is very easy for them to kind of plug in or enroll those endpoints into the Azure Sentinel service."
"The analytic rule is the most valuable feature."
"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 analytics has a lot of advantages because there are 300 default use cases for rules and we can modify them per our environment. We can create other rules as well. Analytics is a useful feature."
"The dashboard that allows me to view all the incidents is the most valuable feature."
"Sentinel has an intuitive, user-friendly way to visualize the data properly. It gives me a solid overview of all the logs. We get a more detailed view that I can't get from the other SIEM tools. It has some IP and URL-specific allow listing"
"In Azure Sentinel, we have found, they do have a store in their capability. AI and intelligence features. We found that to be very helpful for us because some other things we do need to integrate again or find another vendor for the store"
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"The most valuable features of Nagios XI are you can customize it based on your use case and requirements. It is flexible and easy to integrate with our systems. You can customize the solution by adding additional features using code."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios XI is customization. We can customize based on our requirements. We can do modifications and implement a lot of scripts. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"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 have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"For many of our services, we use Sumo Logic to track errors and send notifications to our Slack channel, if there are issues. Then, we have our support people monitoring this, and they can react quickly."
"The solution is quite stable."
"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."
"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
"We do have in-built or out-of-the-box metrics that are shown on the dashboard, but it doesn't give the kind of metrics that we need from our environment whereby we need to check the meantime to detect and meantime to resolve an incident. I have to do it manually. I have to pull all the logs or all the alerts that are fed into Sentinel over a certain period. We do this on a monthly basis, so I go into Microsoft Sentinel and pull all the alerts or incidents we closed over a period of thirty days."
"The reporting could be more structured."
"When it comes to ingesting Azure native log sources, some of the log sources are specific to the subscription, and it is not always very clear."
"At the network level, there is a limitation in integrating some of the switches or routers with Microsoft Sentinel. Currently, SPAN traffic monitoring is not available in Microsoft Sentinel. I have heard that it is available in Defender for Identity, which is a different product. It would be good if LAN traffic monitoring or SPAN traffic monitoring is available in Microsoft Sentinel. It would add a lot of value. It is available in some of the competitor products in the market."
"Microsoft Sentinel is relatively expensive, and its cost should be improved."
"The playbook is a bit difficult and could be improved."
"Given that I am in the small business space, I wish they would make it easier to operate Sentinel without being a Sentinel expert. Examples of things that could be easier are creating alerts and automations from scratch and designing workbooks."
"Sometimes, we are observing large ingestion delays. We expect logs within 5 minutes, but it takes about 10 to 15 minutes."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"The reporting part should be made simpler. While we can obtain all the reports we need, we always have to create work-arounds to get them."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"The solution should improve its UI."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"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 Security is expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"It would be nice to have an improved ability to scroll through logs within a time frame. Right now, we can search for specific errors. However, if we want to look for "before and after" within a specific time frame, it's not easy using the tool. This would be an improvement."
"There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."
"In my opinion, this solution has a steep learning curve and requires practice if users to be able to use this tool very efficiently."
"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."
