We performed a comparison between SolarWinds NPM and Sumo Logic Observability based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The interface is user-friendly, making it easy to use."
"Can easily be interconnected with other management systems."
"SolarWinds is reasonably priced."
"Being able to easily, and quickly obtain disc space statistics from servers and determine how much was free or used on various volumes."
"Their support team is efficient, and it is easy to set up."
"The set up was very easy. We didn't have any problems with the setup. The deployment took less than an hour."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"It did a good job of the collection and then an investigation of the net flow of information for understanding the applications that were being used at certain locations."
"Alerting and consistency are key. We have different tiers with log collectors, and continuous querying provides near-real-time updates. It's almost like instantly when something happens, like pending transactions or error fees. This helps reduce incident resolution time compared to waiting for thresholds on other platforms. We can continue logging in with them seamlessly and quickly get into action."
"The solution allows multiple groups to converge on a unified platform, allowing for different utilization by various teams."
"I have not seen any stability issues in the product."
"Sumo Logic Observability presents a range of valuable features, including well-crafted dashboards and a diverse selection of helpful apps. However, personally, I don't hold a favorable opinion of the solution. While I don't struggle with writing queries, my main difficulty lies in recruiting competent individuals and ensuring their proficiency in utilizing the solution. This often leads to additional challenges and complexities. From my perspective, when compared to Microsoft Sentinel or even Splunk, Sumo Logic Observability has a steeper learning curve. One contributing factor to this disparity is the solution's long existence in the market compared to Synlogic. Nevertheless, I acknowledge that there are capable and knowledgeable professionals employed at Sumo Logic Observability. The effectiveness of the solution largely depends on how it is integrated into your internal operations and environment. Its utility and benefits can vary significantly. It is worth noting that organizations like the NSA and, I believe, the CIA used it in the past, primarily for rapidly searching and analyzing large volumes of data. To leverage its capabilities effectively, you must determine how to tailor it to your specific needs."
"The product is easy to learn."
"They need to work on their automation and automatically discover devices. They are not very good at automatically discovering devices."
"One of the challenges with SolarWinds is that in order to pull the data, we have to have a lot of false positives."
"The solution is not always good with new features, so it's take a long time."
"We are looking to change away from this solution because of the documentation and the solution doesn't have enough integration in our country. The documentation is too weak."
"This solution would benefit from expanding on the capabilities within the API."
"The solution's network discovery and node addition processes need more work."
"We decided that we were no longer going to trust that their products have not been capitalized."
"Application Performance Monitoring should be included in this solution."
"Documentation could be better. While it's generally good, sometimes finding what you need requires extensive searching. It's not always clear where to look for specific things."
"SearchUI.exe is a bit clunky in the product, making it an area where the product needs improvements."
"Fine-grained data can be quite frustrating to work with and should be made easier."
"Implementing a more streamlined enrichment process, and conceptualizing the observability data collection as an ETL pipeline would be helpful."
