Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We use Amazon CloudWatch for logging."
"The initial setup is easy."
"What I found most valuable in Amazon CloudWatch is that it gives you detailed information, which I found helpful because it can even provide you with data for the past one minute, which is quite granular. That was what helped me most in terms of finding the root causes. Task automation is another valuable feature of Amazon CloudWatch."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon CloudWatch is collecting the logs from Lambda."
"The product can be integrated with AWS very easily."
"The tool's UI is good. One can scroll through the logs very easily."
"What my company likes best about Amazon CloudWatch is that it's on AWS. My team also likes it for its log feature. As the solution is on AWS, it also has good pricing and resource availability, plus it's what clients choose. My company also chose AWS for Forge ECS, and at the time, there was a need for the log features provided by Amazon CloudWatch, so it's the solution my team went with."
"Monitoring time and ensuring ease in it is the most valuable feature."
"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
"Technical support is always great."
"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"We can integrate threat intelligence solutions into the product."
"It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
"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 have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"I would like to monitor inbound and outbound transfer. I would also like to control the traffic for load balancing."
"The drill-down aspect on the dashboard of the solution needs improvement. We get a very good high-level overview, but when we drill down, it becomes a little less clear. We have given this feedback to AWS as well and hope they will improve this in the future."
"It's not an advanced way of monitoring."
"It would be beneficial for CloudWatch to provide an API interface and some kind of custom configuration."
"The product’s documentation must be improved."
"The product's configuration has some challenges. The solution needs to be more user-friendly."
"The solution's auto-scaling could be improved."
"The product should provide more features."
"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."
"Sumo Logic Security is expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"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."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."
"We would like to have some type of predefined setup for the logs, making the setup easier by default."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"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."
