Correlates incidents, allows for quicker identification and helps prioritize investigations
The only challenge is, and that’s where we come into play, it’s a pretty high-tech platform. So, it’s difficult for small and medium-sized organizations to manage it on their own. It’s a very complex system. It requires a lot of expertise. All my guys who work on it have gone through certification from Stellar itself. There are three different certifications that you need to complete. Only then are you certified by Stellar to work on it. It’s a very complex platform. Not everyone can use it. A simple IT engineer or system admin won’t be able to handle it because it’s quite complex. You need to have an understanding of the industry, the subject, and the tool. So, just purchasing this tool or license and then using it on your own would be very difficult to configure and manage on a day-to-day basis. The pricing model is not suitable for small and medium companies, particularly small companies. The minimum pricing model they have is suitable for companies with more than one thousand users. So, if someone has 50 to 100 users, like typical small companies, it’s difficult for them because the cost involved is high. Stellar would charge you for those thousand users, but you do not need all those users. So what are they going to do? I guess Stellar does not want to target small companies directly and maybe relies on resellers and MSPs like us to sell it. So, that is something I would recommend changing. Otherwise, it’s a great tool, but because of the pricing model, small companies are unable to leverage the advantage of this beautiful tool. So, the pricing model should be suitable for small and medium businesses. The product currently has vulnerability monitoring and everything. But if they could also do something about vulnerability management and maybe patch management, that would be nice.

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

"It can integrate with almost any cybersecurity tool available in the market."
"Technical support is always great."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"The solution is quite stable."
"We can integrate threat intelligence solutions into the product."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."
"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 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."
 

Cons

"Support is an issue because they have a limited number of resources."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
"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."
"I don't recommend this product."
"Sumo Logic Security is expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels."
"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 initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It’s a single license platform."
"I don't pay the bill. I've heard the AWS Marketplace pricing is high, but I like the value."
"The product is costly."
"The only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."
"The price scaling comes in a bit expensive."
"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."
"The pricing is good. It's not an issue for us."
