Correlates incidents, allows for quicker identification and helps prioritize investigations
The only challenge is, and that’s where we come into play, it’s a pretty high-tech platform. So, it’s difficult for small and medium-sized organizations to manage it on their own. It’s a very complex system. It requires a lot of expertise. All my guys who work on it have gone through certification from Stellar itself. There are three different certifications that you need to complete. Only then are you certified by Stellar to work on it. It’s a very complex platform. Not everyone can use it. A simple IT engineer or system admin won’t be able to handle it because it’s quite complex. You need to have an understanding of the industry, the subject, and the tool. So, just purchasing this tool or license and then using it on your own would be very difficult to configure and manage on a day-to-day basis. The pricing model is not suitable for small and medium companies, particularly small companies. The minimum pricing model they have is suitable for companies with more than one thousand users. So, if someone has 50 to 100 users, like typical small companies, it’s difficult for them because the cost involved is high. Stellar would charge you for those thousand users, but you do not need all those users. So what are they going to do? I guess Stellar does not want to target small companies directly and maybe relies on resellers and MSPs like us to sell it. So, that is something I would recommend changing. Otherwise, it’s a great tool, but because of the pricing model, small companies are unable to leverage the advantage of this beautiful tool. So, the pricing model should be suitable for small and medium businesses. The product currently has vulnerability monitoring and everything. But if they could also do something about vulnerability management and maybe patch management, that would be nice.

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

"Stellar Cyber Open XDR offers these functionalities at a more affordable price, making it easier for me to position it with price-sensitive customers."
"It can integrate with almost any cybersecurity tool available in the market."
"The Log Analytics platform is the most effective. If we cannot find the data in other tools, like email security or NDR, we can fetch those logs in the Log Analytics platform of Sumo Logic."
"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 is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos."
"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
"For many of our services, we use Sumo Logic to track errors and send notifications to our Slack channel, if there are issues. Then, we have our support people monitoring this, and they can react quickly."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
 

Cons

"Support is an issue because they have a limited number of resources."
"I would rate the stability at about five to six. The platform requires some fine-tuning, especially when integrating data sources and creating connectors."
"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."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"The API integration in Sumo Logic Security could improve. There are delayed connections or they stop and then automatically start. Having a seamless log collection would be beneficial."
"We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels."
"We would like to have some type of predefined setup for the logs, making the setup easier by default."
"The dashboard has room for improvement, because sometimes it is a difficult to create a specific dashboard or query. This would be a nice place to correct problems."
"The correlation rules and log mapping are not as mature compared to other SIM tools like Splunk."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It’s a single license platform."
"The only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."
"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 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."
"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."
"I don't pay the bill. I've heard the AWS Marketplace pricing is high, but I like the value."
"The pricing is good. It's not an issue for us."
"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."
