Featured Reviews

Nick Fletcher - PeerSpot reviewer
Centralized management streamlines log collection while providing valuable resources
We use it for log collection on customers that have compliance requirements The single pane of glass management with the other security products we use from Huntress is incredibly valuable. It allows us to manage multiple Huntress products in a central place, and we don't have ten different…
Vinay Patel D N - PeerSpot reviewer
Effective with good log analytics but needs better rule correlation
The correlation rules and log mapping are not as mature compared to other SIM tools like Splunk. Sometimes logs will not fetch, and there are issues if the log volume exceeds a threshold. Not every tool is integrated with Sumo Logic. The response time for their support could be better, and it is not very user-friendly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Huntress is a great company and incredibly helpful with deployment."
"The single pane of glass management with the other security products we use from Huntress is incredibly valuable."
"Sumo Logic is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos."
"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."
"It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
"Sumo Logic Security offers a single dashboard and customization, which are the most valuable features."
"With this tool, we provide access to every developer team the ability to find errors, then they come to us and ask for specific help."
"Support has been excellent. Sumo Logic's support staff is really good, both their account management staff and direct support."
"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
"We use it to ingest Windows domain controller logs. We use this to monitor if anyone is placed in particular administration groups that potentially shouldn't be. It helps us keep track of people."
 

Cons

"There should be better exclusions of log types and the ability to exclude specific types of logs that might be using a lot of data."
"There should be better exclusions of log types and the ability to exclude specific types of logs that might be using a lot of data."
"From the network segmentation side, there is some discrepancy in log onboarding. The tool needs to improve direct API integrations, login integration, native login integration, etc."
"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."
"The initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it."
"We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels."
"Sumo Logic Security is expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."
"If you want to up your subscription through the AWS Marketplace, it can be difficult. You can't just go back to the AWS Marketplace, and say, "I want a bigger one now." You have to contact the sales team, then they do it on the back-end. This could definitely be improved."
"The correlation rules and log mapping are not as mature compared to other SIM tools like Splunk."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."
"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 pricing is good. It's not an issue for us."
"Purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace is very easy."
"I don't pay the bill. I've heard the AWS Marketplace pricing is high, but I like the value."
"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."
"Storing logs in Sumo Logic Security is charged GB-wise, which is a little higher than other products."
"The pricing is a little high, but for the features that we receive from Sumo Logic, it suits the price. For some small organizations, the price might be a little high."
