We performed a comparison between Datadog and Sumo Logic Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's easy to use. It's a very good product. It can easily ingest data from anywhere. It has an easily understandable language to perform actions."
"The solution offers a lot of data on events. It helps us create specific detection strategies."
"The most valuable features in my experience are the UEBA, LDAP, the threat scheduler, and integration with third-party straight perform like the MISP."
"It is quite efficient. It helps our clients in identifying their security issues and respond quickly. Our clients want to automate incident response and all those things."
"Free ingestion for Azure logs (with E5 licence)"
"Sentinel has features that have helped improve our security poster. It helped us in going ahead and identifying the gaps via analysis and focusing on the key elements."
"The machine learning and artificial intelligence on offer are great."
"We are able to deploy within half an hour and we only require one person to complete the implementation."
"The flexibility to create notebooks and dashboards and fully customize them gives us a lot of power to track the exact services and endpoints we are working on."
"It is easy to implement and scale applications with standardized visibility, monitoring and alerting"
"I like that you can build out a dashboard pretty quickly. There are some things that come out of the box that you don't really need to do, which is great because they're default settings."
"Their interface is probably one of the easiest things to use because it lets non-developers and non-engineers quickly get access to metrics and pull business value out of them. We could put together dashboards and give it to people who are non-technical, then they can see the state of the world."
"We've been able to glean from the monitors what servers are down, and can alert the team in Slack."
"Datadog provides tracing and logging, whereas Dynatrace focuses on tracing, and Splunk is more of a logging tool. Datadog's advantage is that we don't need two tools."
"They have a very good foundation in capturing metrics, logs, and traces. It's a very nice tool for that and it allows you to apply these monitoring tools in almost any technology."
"Going from viewing a metric to creating a monitor alerting on a metric is very easy."
"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."
"It provides easy visibility. I also like the shareable queries because we share a lot across groups."
"Scalability has been good for our needs. We haven't run into any scaling issues in regards to size so far."
"Sumo Logic is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos."
"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."
"It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
"The built-in SOAR is not really good out-of-the-box. The SOAR relies on logic apps and you almost need to have some kind of developer background to be able to make these logic apps. Most security people cannot develop anything..."
"The KQL query does not function effectively with Windows 11 machines, and in the majority of machine-based investigations, KQL queries are essential for organizing the data during investigations."
"In terms of features I would like to see in future releases, I'm interested in a few more use cases around automation. I do believe a lot of automation is available, and more is in progress, but that would be my area of interest."
"Microsoft Sentinel is relatively expensive, and its cost should be improved."
"One key area that can be improved is by building a strong integration with our XDR platform."
"Microsoft Sentinel should provide an alternative query language to KQL for users who lack KQL expertise."
"We're satisfied with the comprehensiveness of the security protection. That said, we do have issues sometimes where there have been global outages and we need to raise a ticket with Microsoft."
"The playbook development environment is not as rich as it should be. There are multiple occasions when we face problems while creating the playbook."
"We need more advanced querying against logs."
"The product needs to have more enterprise approach to configuration."
"Even though it is powerful on its own, the UI-based design lacks elegance, efficiency, and complexity."
"We would really like to see more from the Service Catalog."
"It does not have the best interface."
"They could have better log reporting."
"The Log Explorer could be better. I don't think it has log manipulation as Splunk does."
"The real issue with this product is cost control."
"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."
"The initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
"Sumo Logic Security is expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"The solution should improve its UI."
"In my opinion, this solution has a steep learning curve and requires practice if users to be able to use this tool very efficiently."
"We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels."
"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."
