Muhammad Jahangir - PeerSpot reviewer
Feature rich, useful web log collection, but support could improve
We have a PCI DSS standard environment and a centralized login server. We are using ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer for all of the logins. We have the firewalls, such as Fortinet, and many other devices sending their logs through this solution The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog…
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

"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."
"What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications. It seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial. I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team."
"The tool's reports show activities."
"The user interface is very good."
"It is stable."
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"The initial setup is straightforward"
"Technical support is always great."
"It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
"We are able to diagnose problems before our customers."
"We can integrate threat intelligence solutions into the product."
"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."
"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
 

Cons

"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"There's a lot to improve in terms of connectivity. Currently, we're utilizing it across various infrastructures and environments, including others' cloud. However, connecting it to our infrastructure and integrating it with some of our SMAX solutions poses difficulties."
"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."
"The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities."
"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great."
"Support could improve to make the solution better."
"The scalability is limited."
"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 integration with multiple sources could be better."
"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."
"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."
"I don't recommend this product."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"The solution should improve its UI."
"There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing for ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is paid yearly."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is expensive. Its licensing costs are annual."
"We paid for the license of the solution and the deployment. The price of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is less expensive than other solutions."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is a low-cost solution. It costs approximately $1,000 per month per server for a perpetual license."
"There is a license required for these solutions. The customer can choose the license type, such as an annual license purchase or a perpetual license. If the customer wants maintenance they will have to pay annually."
"There is a yearly subscription for the solution."
"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 pricing is good. It's not an issue for us."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."
"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."
"Purchasing Sumo Logic through the AWS Marketplace was a simple step."
"Purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace is very easy."
