Sumo Logic Security Reviews

Our primary use case is application log tracing and monitoring. It does a good job of meeting our needs, in terms of alert monitoring.

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.

The key features that we have been using:

• The ability to troubleshoot production issues.
• Set up monitoring for errors. 

I would like better UI-driven functionality to create alerts and reports. Now, we have to understand the syntax, so it is a little difficult for someone to pick it up without using the manuals. If there was more of a graphical user interface, it would be beneficial.

It would be nice to have an improved ability to scroll through logs within a time frame. Right now, we can search for specific errors. However, if we want to look for "before and after" within a specific time frame, it's not easy using the tool. This would be an improvement.

We are still looking for some functionality to make the alerting and monitoring set up easier and more user-friendly.

We are sending out real-time streaming of logs from multiple applications, and we haven't had any issues with the application.

Scalability has been good for our needs. 

We have applications across the company which are using Sumo Logic. We haven't run into any scaling issues in regards to size so far.

We haven't reached out to technical support yet.

The integration was set up by us. What we did was use our deployment automation tools to send logs over to Sumo Logic. Most of this was done on our side. It would have been nice to have some out-of-the-box plugins which could have been used for this purpose.

We integrate with a lot of custom applications, mostly running on a Linux environment. What we do is we send logs from the Linux file systems over to Sumo Logic.

We have seen improvement in our operational processes.

Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk. However, 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. It is a good balance between price and functionality.

We also looked at Kibana. 

We chose Sumo Logic because it had robust functionality. We also had a licensing agreement with the parent company.

It is a good tool for operational logging and monitoring of applications.

We are using the hosted version.

We use it to keep our information database.

It provides easy visibility. I also like the shareable queries because we share a lot across groups.

Being able to join logs together across many services and servers.

There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries.

We haven't had issues with it since I have been working with it.

The scalability fits our needs. It seems very fast and works well.

We just reach out via email if we need assistance.

I don't pay the bill. I've heard the AWS Marketplace pricing is high, but I like the value.

It was already in place when I joined the company, and we are not currently looking at any alternatives.

Reach out, see if you can get a demo on your data, and see how it fits your needs.

It works with all our main applications, so the integration with those products is pretty seamless from my standpoint.

We use the AWS version.

It is primarily for storing logs, then making reports out of the logs and also alert. If something goes up or down, or reaches a threshold, then we are on alert for that.

We push logs through Sumo Logic. The prime example is logs from our firewall. We have been pushing logs through Sumo Logic. Then, from there, we were able to generate reports which shows us security risks. In a way, it gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view.

We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues.

I would like to see improvement in the user experience when configuring things, ingesting logs, and creating ports.

Going forward, I would like more templates for reports, especially for common vendors, firewalls, and routers. That would be fantastic.

The stability is good. I have never had any issues with it.

The scalability is good. You can get as much as you want.

Our environment is very small. However, we are beginning to ramp up by pushing logs through Sumo Logic, as we progress with our cloud migration.

The technical support is fantastic.

The initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it. Once you get hang of it, it should be all right.

I have had minimal experience of using Sumo Logic with the cloud. However, I think it's a matter of providing user credentials on your AWS account. I know they have different apps for AWS which you can easily use.

It satisfied what we required of it, but there's still room for improvement in terms of adding applications. Also, there is a little more improvement needed in terms of guiding users on the start up process.

Look at your functionalities, features, and how appropriate the solution is with what you need. Sumo Logic does give a lot of monitoring ability, even ingesting logs and integrating dashboard reports. You can do reports and alarms, which will aid whomever in the management of their infrastructure.
