Shaik Shaheer - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Vinay Patel D N - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The fast search and index-free data retention are very valuable."
"One of the key features is the fast search functionality, enabling us to get results within a few seconds."
"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."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"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."
"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
"The solution is quite stable."
"Technical support is always great."
"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."
"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
"We can integrate threat intelligence solutions into the product."
 

Cons

"There are some overlapping features found in multiple tools."
"The price could be lower."
"The integration could improve."
"I don't recommend this product."
"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."
"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."
"If you look at some of the other offerings right now that are available in the market, they do offer APM as well as the product they're offering. I believe Sumo Logic is not there yet. So that's something which I would love to see."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"The solution should improve its UI."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace is very easy."
"The only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."
"Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."
"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."
"The pricing is good. It's not an issue for us."
"The pricing is a little high, but for the features that we receive from Sumo Logic, it suits the price. For some small organizations, the price might be a little high."
"The license pricing model is based on the events that are processed through the solution."
