A highly commendable and robust solution offering powerful features and comprehensive log data management
It allows us to efficiently manage and store our data. Its compression and archiving features not only reduce storage costs but also minimize the infrastructure resources needed for data backup. Since we have multiple security solutions in place, it allows us to streamline data handling. We can selectively send security-related events to the SIEM while directing other non-security events from various tools to Falcon LogScale. This flexibility ensures that we have access to all the data we need when required, and we can easily export this data from it as necessary, optimizing our data management and making it readily available for analysis or other purposes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It offers the capability to view live log ingestion directly from the console which means you can seamlessly manage live log data ingestion alongside accessing and analyzing older data from the past."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Scalability has been good for our needs. We haven't run into any scaling issues in regards to size so far."
"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."
"We are able to diagnose problems before our customers."
"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
 

Cons

"There are some overlapping features found in multiple tools."
"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 initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it."
"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."
"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 to have some type of predefined setup for the logs, making the setup easier by default."
"Sumo Logic Security is expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 pricing is good. It's not an issue for us."
"Purchasing Sumo Logic through the AWS Marketplace was a simple step."
"The license pricing model is based on the events that are processed through the solution."
