A network monitoring platform with a useful reporting feature, but permission-based options could be better
The initial setup is fairly easy. Most of it's wizard-based. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to set it up. But if you don't know certain things related to protocols and everything else, it might be difficult. If you know how SNMP works, it'll be fairly simple to set up.
WilsonAitan - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers a single dashboard with customizable features and a cost-effective pricing structure
Sumo Logic Security offers a single dashboard and customization, which are the most valuable features. Additionally, it has a cost-effective structure because it is based on data storage and the number of scans, rather than uploading data. This cost model impacts the customers positively by offering a more straightforward pricing structure.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."
"Support has been excellent. Sumo Logic's support staff is really good, both their account management staff and direct support."
"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"The most valuable features of Sumo Logic Security are the rules, use cases, and ease of use. Additionally, the integration is straightforward and good GUI."
"The solution is quite stable."
"We are able to diagnose problems before our customers."
"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."
"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
 

Cons

"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
"From the network segmentation side, there is some discrepancy in log onboarding. The tool needs to improve direct API integrations, login integration, native login integration, etc."
"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 don't recommend this product."
"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."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"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."
"In my opinion, this solution has a steep learning curve and requires practice if users to be able to use this tool very efficiently."
"We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is good. It's not an issue for us."
"Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."
"Purchasing Sumo Logic through the AWS Marketplace was a simple step."
"The only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."
"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."
"I don't pay the bill. I've heard the AWS Marketplace pricing is high, but I like the value."
"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."
"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."
