Security Analyst at NTT Ltd
They could improve by initiating calls for high-priority cases instead of just opening tickets.
Information Security Specialist at Arab Open University
They have a response time of forty-eight hours, which is not instant support.
SOC Analyst at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
In general, they usually provide continuous support post-implementation, being in touch and trying to help, which makes their after-sale process better than Splunk.
CSO at Altera
Sumo Logic Security has really good customer support.
CISO at Mambu

Sentiment score
7.6
Sumo Logic Security is adaptable, scales with business growth, excels in cloud environments, and consistently receives high flexibility ratings.
It has adequate coverage and is easy to deploy.
Senior Principal Information Security Analyst at Veritas Technologies LLC
In terms of scalability, I find CrowdStrike to be stable, and I have not encountered any limitations with it.
Cyber Security Architects at VaporVM
There's no scalability limitation from CrowdStrike itself, as it just requires agent deployment.
Large account Manager at Softcell Technologies Limited
Sumo Logic Security scales up automatically because it is a cloud-native SIEM, and I do not need to worry about hardware clusters or capacity planning.
Security Engineer at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees
The tool has high scalability because everything is based in the cloud.
Deputy Country Manager at PT Securite Asia Indonesia (ABP Securite)
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
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.1
Users praise CrowdStrike Falcon's stability, noting its lightweight, cloud-based design, despite occasional bugs and rare false positives.
Sentiment score
8.0
Sumo Logic Security is highly reliable, efficiently handling large data with minimal performance issues and rare support needs.
I have never seen instability in the CrowdStrike tool.
Security Analyst at NTT Ltd
We are following N-1 versions across our environment, which is stable.
Senior Principal Information Security Analyst at Veritas Technologies LLC
The biggest issue occurred when every computer worldwide experienced a blue screen.
Information Security Specialist at Arab Open University
If there are many records, the system may stop or the UI may become unresponsive.
SOC Analyst at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The query language is pretty straightforward and easy, and it is very powerful for building different searches and dashboards that will serve for later exploration of the same interests I have.
CSO at Altera
It operates very well as a cloud-native SaaS platform with high availability, and there is no downtime that I have experienced.
Security Engineer at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees
 

Room For Improvement

CrowdStrike Falcon needs integration improvements, better usability, enhanced features, faster support, and lower pricing to meet user demands.
Users urge improvements in interface usability, automation, integration, support, AI capabilities, pricing, and visualization for Sumo Logic Security.
Simplifying the querying process, such as using double quote queries or directly obtaining logs based on IP addresses or usernames, would be beneficial.
Security Analyst at NTT Ltd
Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options.
Senior Principal Information Security Analyst at Veritas Technologies LLC
Threat prevention should be their first priority.
Group Manager at HCLSoftware
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
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.
Senior Security Analyst at City Electric Supply Company
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
 

Setup Cost

CrowdStrike Falcon's higher cost is justified by its strong security, flexible licensing, and ease of evaluation for enterprises.
Sumo Logic Security offers mid-range pricing, balancing cost and functionality, with convenience through AWS Marketplace but increasing costs with usage.
It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it.
Senior Principal Information Security Analyst at Veritas Technologies LLC
The licensing cost and setup costs are affordable.
Computer Engineer at OIC, Alshirawi
The solution is a bit expensive.
Information Security Specialist at Arab Open University
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)
From one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I would put Sumo Logic Security at a seven.
CISO at Mambu
If you go to the well-known vendors such as Azure Sentinel or other tools like Splunk, you are going to find them costly since they are well-known and they have much more integration compared to Sumo Logic Security.
Security Analyst at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
 

Valuable Features

CrowdStrike Falcon excels in AI-driven threat detection and real-time monitoring, offering comprehensive protection with minimal performance impact.
Sumo Logic Security offers comprehensive log aggregation, AI analytics, and scalability, enhancing detection, response, and operational efficiency.
I can investigate by accessing the customer's host based on the RTR environment and utilize host search to know details for the past seven days, including logins, processes, file installations, malicious processes, and network connections.
Security Analyst at NTT Ltd
The real-time analytics aspect of CrowdStrike performs well because we get all logs in real-time, with no delay, allowing us to take action immediately.
Cyber Security Architects at VaporVM
Being an EDR solution, it helps us identify attacks in real-time.
Information Security Specialist at Arab Open University
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
My SOC analysts were crushed under Splunk, but Sumo has actually eased the workload and made it tolerable for three people.
CISO at Mambu

Featured Reviews

Waleed Omar - PeerSpot reviewer
Information Security Specialist at Arab Open University
Provides effective real-time threat detection with potential for cost optimization
Some features such as device control, firewall management, and file analysis are standalone products that we need to purchase separately. If these features came out of the box within the product, it would be much more beneficial for us. Other providers such as SentinelOne include these features in their base product. We attended a CrowdStrike Falcon event where they discussed some shallow AI features, but we cannot see these in our panel yet. We work with different solutions such as Darktrace and SocRadar, where AI features are automatically displayed in our dashboards after release. However, for CrowdStrike Falcon, we cannot see these features.

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.
