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.

Gives a clear forecast about existing machines, and has an automation feature that helps in reducing a lot of ambiguities and managing operational efficiencies
What I'd like to improve in vRealize Log Insight is the licensing model. VMware provides vRealize Log Insight along with the VMware Cloud Foundation, but customers who would like to go for the native VMware would have to procure vRealize Log Insight separately. Today, vRealize Log Insight is offered on two different licenses, one is based on the number of VMs, and the other is based on the number of physical codes on the machine. If VMware can provide a bundle offer for customers who procure more than ten licenses, where you can have an option to run, for example, three hundred machines on vRealize Log Insight with no extra cost, this would encourage more people to adopt the solution. What I'd like to see in the next release of vRealize Log Insight is for a cloud option to be available, which would be a pay-as-you-go licensing model that would allow me to pick and choose what I'll monitor. For example, I have one thousand and three hundred critical servers, and the seven hundred servers for basic development, I don't want to monitor on vRealize Log Insight today, so I should be able to pick what I need to monitor on the solution and only pay for that specific instance. If VMware can apply these changes, it would help VMware customers to procure more or adopt more of vRealize Log Insight even in smaller projects.
