"The most valuable feature of this solution is the visibility into both attempted and failed logins."
"We did previously use a different solution, but SolarWinds is much better. It's easy to interact with SolarWinds. It's easy to operate, easy to configure and is generally easier compared to what we were working with before."
"The out of the box reports and dashboard. It was easy to trim down these windows to something we could quickly use."

"It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
"The solution is quite stable."
"We can integrate threat intelligence solutions into the product."
"We use it to ingest Windows domain controller logs. We use this to monitor if anyone is placed in particular administration groups that potentially shouldn't be. It helps us keep track of people."
"Scalability has been good for our needs. We haven't run into any scaling issues in regards to size so far."
"There is no correlation made between log entries, so no threat information is presented."
"SolarWinds should improve its correlation capabilities. The correlation does not automatically detect and reduce the events fast enough. You have to manually do a correlation report, which means the tool is not scalable in many ways."
"The only issue is the pricetag. SolarWinds is a costly solution."
"I would like to have a more customizable dashboard."
"Training for this solution needs to be improved, as new employees are sometimes unfamiliar with the product."
"One of the drawbacks of being so flexible is that it is also a fairly complicated software application to install, configure, and maintain."
"I would like to be able to dig deeper into the visibility of events or incidents to determine whether they are malicious, such as by doing behavior analysis."
"It is a very technical program. They can simplify it so that it isn't so hard to deal with."
"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."
"In my opinion, this solution has a steep learning curve and requires practice if users to be able to use this tool very efficiently."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"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."
"There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
"We would like to have some type of predefined setup for the logs, making the setup easier by default."
"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."
