President and Founder at STILLWATER SUPERCOMPUTING INC
It consolidates all logs into one place and provides required features and functionalities
Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to do RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue.

Senior Security Analyst at City Electric Supply Company
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

"The solution aggregates all event streams, so that if there are any issues, it's all in the same interface."
"We haven't had anything yet that we couldn't do through LogDNA."
"With LogDNA, which brings all the logs together in an interleaved stream, it allows us to take a transaction and relate it to other contextual events making the gathering of evidence for auditors and our internal RCA much more productive."
"LogDNA consolidates all logs into one place, which is super valuable."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product, and I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"Sumo Logic Security offers a single dashboard and customization, which are the most valuable features."
"Sumo Logic is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos."
"It provides easy visibility. I also like the shareable queries because we share a lot across groups."
"My SOC analysts were crushed under Splunk, but Sumo has actually eased the workload and made it tolerable for three people."
"I would recommend Sumo Logic; it is easy to use, the culture at Sumo Logic seems to be developer focused, the product is good, the developers are able to use it to get their job done quickly and easily, it fits into the developer's workload, the support is excellent, and we use it in both AWS and on-premise where it tends to work the same in both cases."
"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

"Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue."
"Scalability could be improved; we are using it through the IBM cloud deployment and on some of the data centers that are very heavily used, there is a significant lag in the event stream, sometimes 10, 15 minutes behind, which makes the RCA impossible."
"No ability to encapsulate a query or a filter, and communicate or share that among the team."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"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."
"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."
"If you want to up your subscription through the AWS Marketplace, it can be difficult."
"We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels."
"In my opinion, this solution has a steep learning curve and requires practice if users to be able to use this tool very efficiently."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace is very easy."
"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 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."
"Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."
"The pricing is good. It's not an issue for us."
"The only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."
"The license pricing model is based on the events that are processed through the solution."
"Storing logs in Sumo Logic Security is charged GB-wise, which is a little higher than other products."
