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.

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

"Huntress Managed SIEM is designed to make powerful threat detection, response, and compliance support accessible without the complexities and costs of traditional SIEMs."
"During the year I have been using it, I have seen improvements such as no alert fatigue, which is beneficial, and obviously the automated threat detection."
"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."
"Huntress Managed SIEM's response time is far superior to any other vendor we have tested in terms of MDR."
"Scalability has been good for our needs. We haven't run into any scaling issues in regards to size so far."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product, and I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
"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."
"Compared to other tools, I prefer the UI much better as it categorizes data very well for me."
"It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
"Support has been excellent. Sumo Logic's support staff is really good, both their account management staff and direct support."
"Sumo Logic is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos."
 

Cons

"In my opinion, there is room for improvement in Huntress Managed SIEM, particularly in integration with third-party solutions."
"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."
"The scalability for SMEs and MSPs is noteworthy for a few hundred endpoints, but it struggles with scalability when dealing with high logs, multi-site, multi-tenant setups, and large volumes of endpoints, which poses a challenge."
"I don't recommend this product."
"The dashboard has room for improvement, because sometimes it is a difficult to create a specific dashboard or query."
"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."
"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."
"There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."
"In my opinion, this solution has a steep learning curve and requires practice if users to be able to use this tool very efficiently."
"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."
"I would like to see improvement in the user experience when configuring things, ingesting logs, and creating ports."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price scaling comes in a bit expensive."
"Storing logs in Sumo Logic Security is charged GB-wise, which is a little higher than other products."
"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."
"Purchasing Sumo Logic through the AWS Marketplace was a simple step."
"The pricing is good. It's not an issue for us."
"Purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace is very easy."
"Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."
"If we went to ELK Stack, which is open source, it would have been less costly, but it would have required more development from our side."
