A network monitoring platform with a useful reporting feature, but permission-based options could be better
The initial setup is fairly easy. Most of it's wizard-based. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to set it up. But if you don't know certain things related to protocols and everything else, it might be difficult. If you know how SNMP works, it'll be fairly simple to set up.
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

"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."
"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
"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."
"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 Security offers a single dashboard and customization, which are the most valuable features."
"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"Support has been excellent. Sumo Logic's support staff is really good, both their account management staff and direct support."
 

Cons

"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
"In terms of improvement, feedback indicates there is a need for a local data center in my country. This is crucial to sell to the government and financial sectors as they require data retention within each country."
"The dashboard has room for improvement, because sometimes it is a difficult to create a specific dashboard or query. This would be a nice place to correct problems."
"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."
"We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels."
"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 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 solution should improve its UI."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace is very easy."
"The pricing is good. It's not an issue for us."
"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."
"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."
"I don't pay the bill. I've heard the AWS Marketplace pricing is high, but I like the value."
"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."
"Storing logs in Sumo Logic Security is charged GB-wise, which is a little higher than other products."
