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

"Based on my user experience, I would recommend InsightConnect for its user-friendly interface and excellent documentation."
"The tool is stable. The initial setup is straightforward. The product is user-friendly."
"InsightIDR's Attacker Behavioral Analytics (ABA) and User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) features have been very useful in maintaining our security posture."
"The fact that it's a security orchestration, automated response solution with a vast level of insights and the ability to integrate with a number of other security tools."
"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."
"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 gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
"We can integrate threat intelligence solutions into the product."
"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
"Sumo Logic is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos."
"Sumo Logic Security offers a single dashboard and customization, which are the most valuable features."
"Support has been excellent. Sumo Logic's support staff is really good, both their account management staff and direct support."
 

Cons

"The GUI needs improvement, as creating workflows can be cumbersome."
"The GUI needs improvement, as creating workflows can be cumbersome. More updated plugins are needed to leverage existing functionalities, such as APIs for functions like blocking malicious IPs in FortiGate."
"The technical support should be improved."
"The API integration in Sumo Logic Security could improve. There are delayed connections or they stop and then automatically start. Having a seamless log collection would be beneficial."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
"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."
"We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels."
"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 are some API gaps that are missing."
"The correlation rules and log mapping are not as mature compared to other SIM tools like Splunk."

"The price scaling comes in a bit expensive."
"Storing logs in Sumo Logic Security is charged GB-wise, which is a little higher than other products."
"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."
"I don't pay the bill. I've heard the AWS Marketplace pricing is high, but I like the value."
"The product is costly."
"Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."
"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."
