I did not face any significant issues with Sumo Logic Security, but the pricing may be a concern as they try to upsell and raise the prices very quickly.
CSO at Altera
It can accommodate thousands of endpoints on one instance, and multiple instances can run for different clients.
Security Operations Center Analyst at mailbox.org
Currently, I don't see any limitations in terms of scalability as Wazuh can still connect many endpoints.
Security Consultant at ebenezer.okoh@agorasecurity.it
Scalability depends on the configuration and the infrastructure resources like compute and memory we allocate.

Room For Improvement

Sumo Logic Security needs improvement in dashboards, user experience, integration, threat insights, risk alerts, scalability, and pricing.
Wazuh needs user interface improvements, scalability, integration, enhanced cloud security, better documentation, and reduced resource consumption for effectiveness.
This can lead to alerts that are collections of disjointed signals that sometimes make no sense and lack real context; this simplistic approach makes it hard to find coherent stories during investigations.
CSO at Altera
The correlation rules and log mapping are not as mature compared to other SIM tools like Splunk.
SOC Analyst at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
This is crucial to sell to the government and financial sectors as they require data retention within each country.
Deputy Country Manager at PT Securite Asia Indonesia (ABP Securite)
Machine learning is needed along with understanding user behavior and behavioral patterns.
Engineer - Information Security at N-Able (Pvt) Ltd
The integration modules are insufficiently developed, necessitating the creation of custom integration solutions using tools like Logstash and PubSub.
Tech Lead at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees
I think Wazuh should improve by introducing AI functionalities, as it would be beneficial to see AI incorporated in the threat hunting and detection functionalities.
Security Consultant at ebenezer.okoh@agorasecurity.it
 

Setup Cost

Sumo Logic Security pricing is reasonable for enterprises via AWS Marketplace, offering a balance of cost and functionality.
Wazuh is a cost-effective open-source platform with optional managed services and support, emphasizing affordability for enterprises.
This makes it more cost-effective because other solutions often include a third element in their pricing.
Deputy Country Manager at PT Securite Asia Indonesia (ABP Securite)
Wazuh is completely free of charge.
Security Consultant at ebenezer.okoh@agorasecurity.it
I would definitely recommend Wazuh, especially considering Fortinet's licensing model which is confusing and overpriced in my opinion.
Engineer - Information Security at N-Able (Pvt) Ltd
Totaling around two lakh Indian rupees per month.
Tech Lead at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees
 

Valuable Features

Sumo Logic Security provides efficient log management, customization, and integration features, making it ideal for real-time monitoring and digital transformation.
Wazuh offers cost-effective, flexible security solutions with features like SIEM, EDR, and compliance management for diverse environments.
The features I find most useful in Sumo Logic Security are the ease of implementation and connectors; they have a very easy connection and many connectors to important systems, making it very easy to implement and fast to start running in production.
CSO at Altera
They are able to save time on fewer alerts because we are able to perform tuning on the logs to be able to only get relevant or security relevant incidents.
Senior Security Analyst at City Electric Supply Company

Security insights have enabled faster incident response and streamlined cross-team collaboration
To improve Sumo Logic Security, I would appreciate the tool being easier to use from a search perspective. For example, we have a few teams that want to use the tool itself, but they are not as savvy when it comes to creating searches from the core platform. I understand that Mobot has come out and is in the works, and it really does assist non-savvy users when it comes to querying the platform. As far as that is concerned, I wish that could be improved a bit more, but I do know that that is in the works. I would add that I wish for improved documentation. For example, we are using Sumo Playbooks and automation integrations along with that, but I have found that there has been a lack of documentation, very little to none at all when it comes to that. With regards to automation integrations as well, there are very few details included in them. I would also appreciate the AWS automation integrations to be more secure because currently, they are using access keys, which involves a user rather than roles, which is the security best practice recommended by AWS. I chose eight out of ten because to make it a nine or ten, I would lean heavily on the documentation. A lot of the times when we get around to configuring things such as playbooks or trying to understand playbooks, what I found was that documentation sometimes is not up to date or documentation is lacking. There are instances also where some security best practices are not being followed. So, if we are able to set up an integration that is not only secure, following security best practices, and has complete documentation, I believe it would alleviate the issue of having to go back and forth with support to check the documentation and things of that nature. My impression of the built-in threat intelligence feature in Sumo Logic Security is that it is comprehensive, but I would say that it could do a little bit better. For example, we have the TAXI feeds, which is STIX and TAXI integrated into the core platform, but the issue I am running into is that I am able to use that feed into a CSE alert; however, I am not able to see the contents of that feed. If I integrate CISA, which we do have integrated, I cannot see what IOCs are in that feed in the core platform, and I hope that is the case because, in order for us to better tune our alerts, we need to be able to see what is in the contents of that threat intelligence feed.

Has faced limitations in AI capabilities and pricing flexibility
Pricing-wise, Wazuh stands out, along with deployment flexibility and its documentation which is extremely good in comparison to Forti. The community support is also incredible. They have helped quite a bit because previously, we had a separate tool and management dashboard to do our compliance. With Wazuh, we receive that information without having to do anything extra. We just set up the SIEM and all of that information was automatically populated. The dashboards are very easy to understand and very quick with no lag or delay. I have experienced delays on Forti's dashboards, but not with Wazuh. Wazuh is quite good. In comparison to Forti, they are quite similar. They are very good at detection.
