Featured Reviews

Rene Schouten. - PeerSpot reviewer
Harnesses anomaly detection and automated response for efficient threat management
I really appreciate the anomaly detection and machine learning capabilities that identify unusual patterns without needing signatures. The automated response feature allows for immediate actions like isolating infected machines or blocking malicious IP addresses. It is also cost-effective, charged based on use per second rather than data volume. Additionally, the solution supports annual audits and ensures compliance.
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

"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 log folder is fairly simple."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the search option, allowing easy navigation."
"The product's most valuable feature is threat hunting. We can detect the threats directly from the console from the past data as well."
"The product is near perfect, with only minor enhancements needed."
"The platform's most valuable features are multiple connectors and data output flexibility regarding dashboards and user experience."
"Google Chronicle Suite provides useful APIs."
"Sumo Logic is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos."
"For many of our services, we use Sumo Logic to track errors and send notifications to our Slack channel, if there are issues. Then, we have our support people monitoring this, and they can react quickly."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"Technical support is always great."
"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"The configuration is not optimal."
"The product's default dashboard feature has a few limitations regarding availability."
"The tool is perfectly fine, and I have not faced any challenges while using it."
"The graphical user interface could be improved to enhance user experience."
"The tool is complicated for a first-time user. It should also include newer APIs."
"The graphical user interface could be improved to enhance user experience."
"A few areas are difficult to understand for someone who has less experience using the product."
"The tool is a little bit difficult to use compared to Microsoft Sentinel."
"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."
"I would like to see improvement in the user experience when configuring things, ingesting logs, and creating ports."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"In my opinion, this solution has a steep learning curve and requires practice if users to be able to use this tool very efficiently."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Compared to other solutions, Google Chronicle Suite's pricing is fine."
"The tool is cheaper than Microsoft Sentinel."
"Purchasing Sumo Logic through the AWS Marketplace was a simple step."
"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 pricing is good. It's not an issue for us."
"I don't pay the bill. I've heard the AWS Marketplace pricing is high, but I like the value."
"The price scaling comes in a bit expensive."
"The product is costly."
"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."
