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.

Used to store and monitor application logs and VPC flow logs
We are mainly concentrating on networking. We use VPC products and application logs to monitor the genuineness of users who have logged in. We also store and monitor GuardDuty logs to see if someone is trying to access the same server multiple times. We are storing and monitoring WAF logs and GuardDuty logs. If someone faces any issues, we'll receive an email and take action based on it. If someone tries to access one of the applications from a different country, we can search in Google and identify the location of that particular IP address. Sumo Logic Security identifies whether a particular IP address is low, medium, or high risk without the help of Google. We can store logs in CloudWatch, but it is very difficult to search them in CloudWatch. We should know the query in order to do that. Searching for logs with Sumo Logic Security is very easy compared to CloudWatch. We have been using the solution for more than two years and haven't faced any issues with the solution's availability. I would recommend the solution to other users. I would recommend Sumo Logic Security instead of AWS, CloudWatch, or CloudTrail. With Sumo Logic Security, you can capture and see all the logs in a single place. If some issues occur, you can log into the solution and verify all the logs. At an organizational level, we have multiple AWS accounts for different environments. Instead of logging in to all the AWS accounts, you can log in to Sumo Logic Security and verify everything. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

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."
"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."
"One of the key features is the fast search functionality, enabling us to get results within a few seconds."
"Support has been excellent. Sumo Logic's support staff is really good, both their account management staff and direct support."
"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
"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."
"Technical support is always great."
"It provides easy visibility. I also like the shareable queries because we share a lot across groups."
"We are able to diagnose problems before our customers."
"The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."
"We can integrate threat intelligence solutions into the product."
 

Cons

"The price could be lower."
"The integration could improve."
"There are some overlapping features found in multiple tools."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
"I don't recommend this product."
"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."
"We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"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."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."
"The pricing is good. It's not an issue for us."
"The product is costly."
"The price scaling comes in a bit expensive."
"The only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."
"Storing logs in Sumo Logic Security is charged GB-wise, which is a little higher than other products."
"If we went to ELK Stack, which is open source, it would have been less costly, but it would have required more development from our side."
"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."
