Managed detection has reduced threat anxiety and provides fast responses across diverse clients
I would appreciate more features in the stack. I would like Huntress MDR and SIEM to integrate with EDRs like SentinelOne to combine that level of intelligence and information into their stack so that they can leverage whatever protections the client has and gather that intelligence to help with the MDR side. Regarding the SIEM, I would like to see more features added. I would appreciate the capability of setting our own alerting based on certain triggers within the logs so that we can compete and fill a void that their SIEM has compared to other SIEMs in the industry such as Perch Security for ConnectWise.

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

"The single pane of glass management with the other security products we use from Huntress is incredibly valuable."
"Huntress is a great company and incredibly helpful with deployment."
"Huntress Managed SIEM's response time is far superior to any other vendor we have tested in terms of MDR."
"Support has been excellent. Sumo Logic's support staff is really good, both their account management staff and direct support."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"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."
"Sumo Logic Security has positively impacted my organization by increasing engagement with different teams."
"The solution is quite stable."
"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
"Technical support is always great."
"My SOC analysts were crushed under Splunk, but Sumo has actually eased the workload and made it tolerable for three 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."
"I would appreciate more features in the stack. I would like Huntress Managed SIEM to integrate with EDRs like SentinelOne to combine that level of intelligence and information into their stack so that they can leverage whatever protections the client has and gather that intelligence to help with the MDR side."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see improvement in the user experience when configuring things, ingesting logs, and creating ports."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"A more transparent roadmap as to what Sumo Logic Security is trying to achieve would be beneficial. Sumo often gives information in three-month cycles, which makes it hard for planning purposes."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I don't pay the bill. I've heard the AWS Marketplace pricing is high, but I like the value."
"Purchasing Sumo Logic through the AWS Marketplace was a simple step."
"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 price scaling comes in a bit expensive."
"The only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."
"Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."
"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."
"The product is costly."
