Automation has streamlined multi-tenant SOC workflows and improves alert handling efficiency
Although the reporting within Torq is not that great, we did ask for many features regarding reporting in Torq, but due to some platform constraints, they could not make the whole dataset available for us to be used in reporting. Except for that, we used some basic reporting. When I used Torq, it was indeed in the early stages of AI capabilities. Only a few customers were allowed to use it, and we were among them. It functioned well as long as we summarized the data properly. If you input garbage, you would get garbage out. Thus, we had to do significant fine-tuning regarding what data context we provided to the AI orchestrator to get meaningful results. In terms of Torq's unified platform approach to AI SOC automation and case management compared to managing multiple point solutions across my security stack, I find it case-centric. The unified view in case management is good since it provides clarity, although there are limitations regarding how many items in case management can be modified at once. Bulk operations are very limited, potentially due to their back-end database or data retrieval processes that can be improved. Regarding improvements for Torq, when we were onboarded, there were aspects we were uncertain about, such as the number of cases that could be generated, what data we could bring in, how many clients we could onboard, and similar concerns. Initially, we also lacked clarity about the number of playbooks or workflows we could build. Different triggers like system triggers, case-based triggers, and others can be employed without restrictions, but when it comes to on-demand and scheduled jobs, there is a limitation based on the subscription and pricing tier that notably caps the number of workflows we can create. No bulk editing across cases was one issue, along with limited filtering related to single grouping constraints. Additionally, the out-of-the-box case templates provided require substantial modifications before they become usable. There is also a feature in the cases for notes that cannot be searched. They are only visible through the UI, which is another area for improvement. The workflow and execution-based charges seem misleading as this was not discussed initially. I am not sure if new customers are made aware of this. It seems that workflows revolving around cases hinder functionality outside of case management, as we have many use cases needing on-demand triggers and schedules for functions like reporting or polling devices. Creating additional workflows to achieve basic functionalities raises costs significantly, which disadvantages customers. While they facilitate optimization and scaling, the support received tends to be very basic. Improvements can be made in that area as well.

Development from open sources is very valuable but a huge infrastructure is required
The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used. The search configuration is a bit different than other OEMs or SIEM solutions like ArcSight or QRadar that are easy to search because they operate similarly. The logic is there and the solution supplies a pretty good explanation. Basically, DNIF spelled out is the opposite of FIND. You have to find commands whenever you want to search something. For example, a highway gets you to your destination but there is an alternate way people don't yet know about. Gartner or Forrester haven't yet studied it. We were a bit nervous when we were trying to get familiar with the solution. We wondered if we could realize ROI because the commands and ways of pulling data were different to us. We raised a case with the support team and their professionals provided the needed support. The command line is user friendly once you understand it. If you need immediate use, then you might want to get assistance from someone who is well-versed in methods for using key patterns to find things. Lengthier files for threat hunting or analysis are needed. The correlation happens, but exporting a large number of files to abstract them is not possible. For example, I want to present raw data to management so I should be able to customize a date range in my query and download the files.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"As an analyst, it has demonstrated potential to reduce workforce requirements and time needed for related activities."
"Using that one piece of AI, we auto-closed 511 cases in quarter four alone."
"With Torq, I automate actions while achieving SLA compliance and streamline alert investigation processes much better."
"What I liked the most about Torq is the actual workflow builder, which is really great because they offer a lot of features and convenience features that are useful for any automation engineer."
"According to positive outcomes, Torq reduced manual work and made incident response more efficient."
"What I appreciate most about Torq is that it is an essential part of our system."
"We have seen fewer failures of automations from the time Torq came into the picture, we've had a more streamlined process of handling incidents, and at the same time, we've learned to embed the AI into our incident types, and that is how it has helped us in the automation."
"If I review about 100 vendors that I might work with, Torq is definitely in the top five that gave me personally investment back, just because every bit of effort I put into Torq eventually became a workflow that gave it back to me."
"The solution is quite stable and offers good performance, it also works on a virtual machine and we haven't found any issues with it so far, it's been reliable."
"I like the MITRE table, a feature I saw for the first time in the same solution. There was one MITRE tactic table, which can be used to identify threats if you have all kinds of rules enabled or if you have rules for all the tactics in the MITRE table. There are 14 tables in MITRE, and those 14 tables consist of multiple columns, tactics, and techniques. It was one of the first SIEM tools I saw that had that particular MITRE table. On that basis, you can create new rules and identify existing ones. At any point, if an alert is triggered, it will try to match it to any of those MITRE tactics. I liked that creating a workbook on MITRE business was straightforward. I also like that you can search using SQL or DQL."
"The dashboard is helpful, and it creates visualizations to let staff review event data and identify patterns and anomalies."
"If you're an enterprise company and want to scale your productivity for log monitoring purposes, I found DNIF a better option than Splunk which has more complex software."
"The benefit of DNIF was that the solution was able to detect any anomalies and identify and prevent any possible security threats or attacks."
"The beauty of the solution is that you can develop infrastructure for a data lake using open sources that are separate from the licenses."
"The response time on queries is super-fast."
"It was one of the first SIEM tools I saw that had that particular MITRE table."
"We are able to diagnose problems before our customers."
"Technical support is always great."
"The solution is quite stable."
"Before Sumo Logic, we had to login to every server and verify each error log to determine the problem, and with this tool, we provide every developer team the ability to find errors, then they come to us and ask for specific help."
"As a cloud-native SIEM, it scales up very well automatically, and real-time threat detection is available, so detection time has dropped significantly from three to four hours to under 30 minutes, reducing alert fatigue by over 100 days of low-volume alerts and significantly improving our KPIs, alert efficiency, decision quality, and operational stability."
"Sumo Logic Security offers a single dashboard and customization, which are the most valuable features."
"The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."
"Sumo Logic has absolutely improved our organization — 100% Sumo Logic is a great tool, it's absolutely necessary."
 

Cons

"Additionally, the documentation for Torq is not very clear. Most of the information is presented in videos, which are not ideal for reading; there are mostly paragraphs and other text-based content."
"Even now, we have workflows that are in production that use AI steps and I get different results, making it unusable to some degree."
"Torq can be improved by adding some more features, such as adding more automation and providing a no-code option so I don't have to code for everything."
"Torq can probably use more ML and look at what can be closed and what cannot be closed in terms of data classification."
"The initial deployment of Torq was not easy."
"Regarding stability, I have noticed some lagging, crashing, and downtime, which is one of my largest gripes."
"It was able to capture data but was unable to differentiate between the agent hostname we are using and the hostname that resides on the back end of the Internet."
"Torq does extensive marketing saying that SOAR is dead and markets itself as an all-in-one solution, but this is not actually true."
"The solution should be able to connect to endpoints, such as desktops and laptops."
"The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used."
"The solution should be able to connect to endpoints, such as desktops and laptops... If this solution had a smart connector to these logs- Windows, Linux, or any other logs - without affecting the performance of the connector, that would be wonderful."
"There are currently some issues with machine learning plug-ins."
"The EBA could be improved."
"The vendor is fairly new and it's not as big as some of the international competitors. It's not a mature product. If you ask them to move data, it might take a lot of time."
"I used version 8 which was not at all stable. The services and processor keep going down, we had to manually keep them up increasing storage space because services are down, and logs not processed."
"DNIF HYPERCLOUD is not a stable product compared to other tools like IBM QRadar."
"The pricing is a little high, but for the features that we receive from Sumo Logic, it suits the price."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
"If you look at some of the other offerings right now that are available in the market, they do offer APM as well as the product they're offering. I believe Sumo Logic is not there yet. So that's something which I would love to see."
"On Sumo Logic Security, it is not supported that well compared to other SIEMs or other applications that we might be using."
"I would like to see improvement in the user experience when configuring things, ingesting logs, and creating ports."
"Automation is open to user's implementation, in my case, we used to use API to correlate and orchestrate events from Sumo Logic with other platforms, and now we are using an automation platform to centralize the various integrations."
"Some of the operations and security team members don't think Sumo Logic does as well as Splunk in their field."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Price-wise, the product is quite economical. I rate the solution's price as three or four on a scale of one to ten, where one is considered to be a very economically priced tool."
"The pricing is based on the log size."
"The solution requires a huge infrastructure and that is costly."
"The product is costly."
"The only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."
"Storing logs in Sumo Logic Security is charged GB-wise, which is a little higher than other products."
"Purchasing Sumo Logic through the AWS Marketplace was a simple step."
"We chose to go through the AWS Marketplace because it makes it a lot easier when we bill our customers. Rather than having to get multiple different sources of information then correlate a monthly bill for our customers, it is just included in the AWS usage charges."
"The AWS Marketplace pricing is fairly reasonable for what it does. I wouldn't call it expensive, but I wouldn't call it cheap. It is pretty good."
"The pricing is good. It's not an issue for us."
"Purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace is very easy."
