Comprehensive coverage, no vendor lock-in, and best customer relationship
Before Anvilogic, we had no visibility into our detection coverage. The ability to break it down by industry verticals, such as attackers and adversaries, is valuable. Detection insights help us easily identify the most noisy ones, the effective ones, and what needs to be fixed to move the noisy ones to effective ones. The hunting capabilities are very good. The AI components and hunting packages give us quick insights into what needs to be looked at. The partnership has been very good. Their professional services and customer relationship have been very good. Our features and bugs have been fixed on time without a lot of follow-up, and their support has been excellent. Finally, there is a feature within Anvilogic that provides the threat landscape or our effectiveness towards the threat landscape on an ongoing basis. That is another feature that we liked.

Offers a single dashboard with customizable features and a cost-effective pricing structure
Sumo Logic Security offers a single dashboard and customization, which are the most valuable features. Additionally, it has a cost-effective structure because it is based on data storage and the number of scans, rather than uploading data. This cost model impacts the customers positively by offering a more straightforward pricing structure.

Pros

"One of the best things about Anvilogic is the partnership, their knowledge, the depth of technical understanding, and the speed at which they respond."
"Before Anvilogic, we had no visibility into our detection coverage. The ability to break it down by industry verticals, such as attackers and adversaries, is valuable."
"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 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."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"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."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
"It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
 

Cons

"The hunting insight needs integrable capability with different platforms to gather all of that insight and show it on a single canvas on Anvilogic. That is the only feature that could improve the way we do operations."
"The pricing is slightly edging towards being a bit much for smaller organizations."
"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."
"We would like to have some type of predefined setup for the logs, making the setup easier by default."
"The correlation rules and log mapping are not as mature compared to other SIM tools like Splunk."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"I would like better UI-driven functionality to create alerts and reports. Now, we have to understand the syntax, so it is a little difficult for someone to pick it up without using the manuals. If there was more of a graphical user interface, it would be beneficial."
"There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."
"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 Security is expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were an early adopter, so the pricing was definitely good. Because they do not completely replace a SIEM, their pricing is slowly edging towards being a little too much for a smaller organization like ours. It is almost on the border."
"Anvilogic's pricing has been highly competitive."
"Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."
"The pricing is good. It's not an issue for us."
"The license pricing model is based on the events that are processed through the solution."
"Purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace is very easy."
"Storing logs in Sumo Logic Security is charged GB-wise, which is a little higher than other products."
"The product is costly."
"We chose to go through the AWS Marketplace because it makes it a lot easier when we bill our customers. Rather than having to get multiple different sources of information then correlate a monthly bill for our customers, it is just included in the AWS usage charges."
"Purchasing Sumo Logic through the AWS Marketplace was a simple step."
