Automated alerting and reporting excel while cost and feature limitations remain
I find automation to be one of the best and most valuable features of the product. Machine learning is incorporated into the solution, though AI is a broader term that I wouldn't apply here. I haven't personally explored AI yet, but I will investigate it. Machine learning functions more as automation in my experience, as there's no training involved yet. I want to conduct R&D on another project with Wazuh to determine how to capture usage, for example, tracking user logins and time spent. This is where I need to implement machine learning. Additionally, the extraction of GeoIP adds complexity. The solution is effectively reducing incident response times in operations.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One valuable feature of ConnectWise Fortify is the ability to add other teams and receive notifications when customers make changes or remove multi-factor authentication in Microsoft or SAP environments."
"The integration capabilities of ConnectWise SIEM are off the shelf, making it easy to buy and use; you just unpack it and use it."
"We have found the solution has great functionality and it is easy to use."
"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."
"The features I found valuable with the Sumo Logic Security solution are the search option and the ability to customize the search for the information in the logs."
"The most valuable features of Sumo Logic Security are the rules, use cases, and ease of use. Additionally, the integration is straightforward and good GUI."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"Scalability has been good for our needs. We haven't run into any scaling issues in regards to size so far."
"Sumo Logic is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos."
"The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."
"Support has been excellent. Sumo Logic's support staff is really good, both their account management staff and direct support."
 

Cons

"ConnectWise SIEM is primarily focused on notifications and is limited in that aspect, while Wazuh can automate the elimination process."
"ConnectWise Fortify could work on covering more areas, like phishing messages, which have become more complicated to detect."
"The manage portion of the solution is complicated and should be simplified by having different versions to meet the needs of different size companies."
"The initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it."
"The API integration in Sumo Logic Security could improve. There are delayed connections or they stop and then automatically start. Having a seamless log collection would be beneficial."
"There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."
"I don't recommend this product."
"The correlation rules and log mapping are not as mature compared to other SIM tools like Splunk."
"We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels."
"The dashboard has room for improvement, because sometimes it is a difficult to create a specific dashboard or query. This would be a nice place to correct problems."
"In terms of improvement, feedback indicates there is a need for a local data center in my country. This is crucial to sell to the government and financial sectors as they require data retention within each country."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"The only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."
"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."
"Storing logs in Sumo Logic Security is charged GB-wise, which is a little higher than other products."
"Purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace is very easy."
"The price scaling comes in a bit expensive."
"Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."
"I don't pay the bill. I've heard the AWS Marketplace pricing is high, but I like the value."
