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.

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.
