Sentiment score
7.0
Sumo Logic Security is praised for efficient customer service and effective technical support, though regional response times may vary.
You are communicating to tier one and tier two people who are then communicating on the back end, so you are not getting updates as frequently.
Director, Engineering & Services Professional at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
Customer support through our channel partners is excellent.
Partner Account Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 51-200 employees
They will guide us through all aspects of the deployment.
System Administrator at VATSIN Technology Solutions Pvt
They have a response time of forty-eight hours, which is not instant support.
Soc Analyst at a outsourcing company with 5,001-10,000 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.

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.6
Huntress Managed SIEM scales well for SMEs, but multi-site performance varies despite easy integration and automatic scalability.
Sentiment score
7.6
Sumo Logic Security is adaptable, scales with business growth, excels in cloud environments, and consistently receives high flexibility ratings.
It struggles with scalability when dealing with high logs, multi-site, multi-tenant setups, and large volumes of endpoints.
Partner Account Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 51-200 employees
Huntress Managed SIEM is pretty scalable when there are more log sources to be integrated, or when there are high volumes of transactions which lead to higher log ingestion.
Head of Business Operations at a manufacturing company with 501-1,000 employees
In my experience, Huntress Managed SIEM's scalability is very good and stable.
System Administrator at VATSIN Technology Solutions Pvt
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

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

Huntress Managed SIEM needs better integrations, user interface, alert customization, automation, reporting, AI capabilities, and governance improvements.
Users urge improvements in interface usability, automation, integration, support, AI capabilities, pricing, and visualization for Sumo Logic Security.
I would like Huntress Managed SIEM to integrate with EDRs like SentinelOne to combine that level of intelligence and information into their stack.
Director, Engineering & Services Professional at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
I believe Huntress Managed SIEM could be improved by increasing integrations with non-Microsoft solutions as this would broaden its appeal.
Partner Account Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 51-200 employees
In my opinion, there is room for improvement in Huntress Managed SIEM, particularly in integration with third-party solutions.
Technical Account Manager at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
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 outsourcing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
 

Setup Cost

Huntress Managed SIEM offers cost-efficient, transparent pricing based on data sources with easy setup and trial availability.
Sumo Logic Security offers mid-range pricing, balancing cost and functionality, with convenience through AWS Marketplace but increasing costs with usage.
I believe most competitors charge by the data slightly differently compared to how this solution does, as it is per data source rather than data size in gigabytes.
Technical Account Manager at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
I did not have to spend more than what I initially budgeted for.
Head of Business Operations at a manufacturing company with 501-1,000 employees
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that everything was pretty easy to do
Manager, Technology & Integration at GlobalMac IT
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 / Founder / GRC at VINCTA BV
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

Huntress Managed SIEM offers advanced AI filtering and threat detection, enhancing efficiency with centralized monitoring and real-time insights.
Sumo Logic Security offers comprehensive log aggregation, AI analytics, and scalability, enhancing detection, response, and operational efficiency.
Huntress Managed SIEM combines machine detection with human investigation, which adds context and helps confirm if something is actually a threat rather than just noise.
Partner Account Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 51-200 employees
Regarding the feature that requires no alert tuning, we are using the advanced filtering so we only see actionable events and not lots of noise, which filters out any false positives or areas of no concern.
Technical Account Manager at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
Huntress Managed SIEM has helped in both angles, improving efficiency in SOC operations where the mean time to detect is drastically reduced.
Head of Business Operations at a manufacturing company with 501-1,000 employees
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.

Featured Reviews

Partner Account Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 51-200 employees
Human-guided threat monitoring has delivered rapid, confident incident response and strong compliance
I believe Huntress Managed SIEM could be improved by increasing integrations with non-Microsoft solutions as this would broaden its appeal. A broader out-of-the-box solution for diverse environments including IoT, Mac OS, and Linux servers would be valuable. I would rate Huntress Managed SIEM an eight because a couple of things could be changed, such as having more integrations with non-Microsoft systems, improved customization on the dashboard, and enhanced reporting in the threat intelligence updates. Being unable to click on new niche variants of threats is another point I would mention, but overall an eight out of ten is a good score because I think it is a very well-priced solution for its capabilities and all the positives I have outlined. The eight rating is primarily influenced by those integration and customization points I mentioned, which are the main requests from customers.

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.
