Detection capabilities and helpful support team enhance log analysis and integration flexibility
I find Panther's detection capabilities and integrations to be highly valuable. It allows integration with anything as long as I am willing to write detections, and their team is very helpful. I find its log analysis capabilities valuable. It enables me to filter down to individual roles in AWS, and if I am skilled at SQL queries, I can query anything. The infrastructure as code feature allows me to use Git repositories to manage detections and import detections from other Git repositories.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I find Panther's detection capabilities and integrations to be highly valuable."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"Sumo Logic Security offers a single dashboard and customization, which are the most valuable features."
"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 can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"The features I found valuable with the Sumo Logic Security solution are the search option and the ability to customize the search for the information in the logs."
"The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."
"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."
"It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
 

Cons

"The solution could be improved by providing more built-in integrations, which would reduce the need for me to build them myself."
"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."
"The solution should improve its UI."
"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."
"We would like to have some type of predefined setup for the logs, making the setup easier by default."
"We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
"There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."
"The initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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 only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."
"The pricing is a little high, but for the features that we receive from Sumo Logic, it suits the price. For some small organizations, the price might be a little high."
"The AWS Marketplace pricing is borderline. Every annual renewal, we always contemplate if we are getting what we think we could out of it or could we do it cheaper with some other product."
"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 license pricing model is based on the events that are processed through the solution."
"Purchasing Sumo Logic through the AWS Marketplace was a simple step."
"Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."
