We performed a comparison between Grafana Loki 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."The most valuable feature is the capability to set up alerts, which becomes necessary when we need to receive notifications for specific events."
"The effectiveness of filters is pivotal for optimizing the search process and extracting the specific information we need from the extensive log data."
"The tool can be used in multi-cluster environments."
"The most valuable feature of Grafana Loki is the dashboards which are really simple to create."
"Loki also utilizes the same service discovery mechanism as used by Prometheus. So, whatever labeled metadata you see in Prometheus, you have the exact same metadata in the Loki system. Given this level of intricacy and the attempt to address these challenges, I firmly believe that Loki deserves praise for the work."
"I appreciate the capability to process logs from microservices and seamlessly integrate them into Grafana."
"The solution's stability has never been a problem. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is an open-source tool that is stable and flexible."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"It provides easy visibility. I also like the shareable queries because we share a lot across groups."
"We can integrate threat intelligence solutions into the product."
"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."
"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 Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
"The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."
"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"The Docker container partition feature needs improvement as they do not reuse the space and goes into a pending state."
"The product must improve its UI."
"We had a well-structured dashboard with a functional query. However, an issue arose when the Kubernetes pod restarted. The statistics from our Grafana query would reset, dropping to zero and starting anew. This was particularly noticeable with linear graphs, which are expected to show consistent growth."
"Enhancing speed could be a game-changer, and while it might vary depending on the application, it's a factor worth exploring."
"The correlation of requests is not simple in Grafana Loki and can be improved."
"The solution has shortcomings regarding security monitoring-oriented features that need improvement."
"In Grafana Loki, the creation of metrics is not so easy, making it an area that could be made easier."
"The solution's scalability depends on the team managing the Grafana instance."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
"It would be nice to have an improved ability to scroll through logs within a time frame. Right now, we can search for specific errors. However, if we want to look for "before and after" within a specific time frame, it's not easy using the tool. This would be an improvement."
"We would like to have some type of predefined setup for the logs, making the setup easier by default."
"The initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"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."
"Sumo Logic Security is expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."
