Seamless integration and advanced threat intelligence with good data management
The most valuable feature is the seamless integration with Google services such as VirusTotal, Mandient, and DUO AI, all of which are part of Google Chronicle. The dashboards are clean and clearly written, making it easy to use and understand. Also, its AI capabilities and advanced threat intelligence tools like natural language search, AI threat summaries, and automated threat authoring are key benefits.

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 dashboards are clean and clearly written, making it easy to use and understand."
"The log folder is fairly simple."
"Google Chronicle Suite provides useful APIs."
"The support team is responsive."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the search option, allowing easy navigation."
"What sets Chronicle apart from other solutions is its emphasis on threat hunting rather than solely serving as a monitoring tool."
"Google Chronicle Suite is a highly scalable solution with good search capabilities."
"The product's most valuable feature is threat hunting. We can detect the threats directly from the console from the past data as well."
"We use it to ingest Windows domain controller logs. We use this to monitor if anyone is placed in particular administration groups that potentially shouldn't be. It helps us keep track of people."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."
"Scalability has been good for our needs. We haven't run into any scaling issues in regards to size so far."
"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"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 is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos."
 

Cons

"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."
"A few areas are difficult to understand for someone who has less experience using the product."
"The tool is complicated for a first-time user. It should also include newer APIs."
"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 tool is a little bit difficult to use compared to Microsoft Sentinel."
"The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) should be more user-friendly."
"In my opinion, this solution has a steep learning curve and requires practice if users to be able to use this tool very efficiently."
"The dashboard has room for improvement, because sometimes it is a difficult to create a specific dashboard or query. This would be a nice place to correct problems."
"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."
"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 solution should improve its UI."
"It took a bit of trial and error to get it set up correctly based on everything we had to do. In the end, we had to send everything over HTTP, which was sort of a stop-gap."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is dependent on the data amount."
"We have to pay extra charges for the amount of data transfer and technical support services."
"Compared to other solutions, Google Chronicle Suite's pricing is fine."
"The tool is cheaper than Microsoft Sentinel."
"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."
"I don't pay the bill. I've heard the AWS Marketplace pricing is high, but I like the value."
"The only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."
"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 product is costly."
"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 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."
