Seamless integration and advanced threat intelligence with good data management
I am an implementation architect, so I have admin access to Google Chronicle. Google Chronicle is a SIEM tool that collects and stores data from various sources, such as network logs, cloud logs, device logs, security logs, and audit logs. It offers four types of ingestion: forwarder, cloud…

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

"Google Chronicle Suite provides useful APIs."
"What sets Chronicle apart from other solutions is its emphasis on threat hunting rather than solely serving as a monitoring tool."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the search option, allowing easy navigation."
"The support team is responsive."
"The platform's most valuable features are multiple connectors and data output flexibility regarding dashboards and user experience."
"Google Chronicle Suite is a highly scalable solution with good search capabilities."
"The dashboards are clean and clearly written, making it easy to use and understand."
"The product's most valuable feature is threat hunting. We can detect the threats directly from the console from the past data as well."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"With this tool, we provide access to every developer team the ability to find errors, then they come to us and ask for specific help."
"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"It provides easy visibility. I also like the shareable queries because we share a lot across groups."
"Scalability has been good for our needs. We haven't run into any scaling issues in regards to size so far."
"The solution is quite stable."
"It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
"Technical support is always great."
 

Cons

"The tool is a little bit difficult to use compared to Microsoft Sentinel."
"The configuration is not optimal."
"The product's default dashboard feature has a few limitations regarding availability."
"The tool needs to improve tasking packages. Its GUI needs to be improved. The product needs to include time-based filtration. We can only see the alert detection timeline now."
"In terms of improvement, the UI can be a bit challenging for beginners."
"A few areas are difficult to understand for someone who has less experience using the product."
"The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) should be more user-friendly."
"The tool is perfectly fine, and I have not faced any challenges while using it."
"The initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"The solution should improve its UI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheaper than Microsoft Sentinel."
"Compared to other solutions, Google Chronicle Suite's pricing is fine."
"We have to pay extra charges for the amount of data transfer and technical support services."
"The solution's pricing is dependent on the data amount."
"The product is costly."
"Storing logs in Sumo Logic Security is charged GB-wise, which is a little higher than other products."
"I don't pay the bill. I've heard the AWS Marketplace pricing is high, but I like the value."
"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."
"Purchasing Sumo Logic through the AWS Marketplace was a simple step."
"Purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace is very easy."
"The AWS Marketplace pricing is borderline. Every annual renewal, we always contemplate if we are getting what we think we could out of it or could we do it cheaper with some other product."
"The price scaling comes in a bit expensive."
