We performed a comparison between Graylog 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."UDP is a fast and lightweight protocol, perfect for sending large volumes of logs with minimal overhead."
"One of the most valuable features is that you are able to do a very detailed search through the log messages in the overview."
"It is used as a log manager/SIEM. It provides visibility into the infrastructure and security related events."
"Real-time UDP/GELF logging and full text-based searching."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its new interface."
"The ability to write custom alerts is key to information security and compliance."
"Message forwarding through the in-built module."
"We're using the Community edition, but I know that it has really good dashboarding and alerts."
"The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"The features I found valuable with the Sumo Logic Security solution are the search option and the ability to customize the search for the information in the logs."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"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."
"We are able to diagnose problems before our customers."
"Technical support is always great."
"Graylog could improve the process of creating rules. We have to create them manually by doing parses and applying them. Other SIEM solutions have basic rules and you can create and get more events of interest."
"I hope to see improvements in Graylog for more interactivity, user-friendliness, and creating alerts. The initial setup is complex."
"The infrastructure cost is the main issue. I like the rest. If the infrastructure costs could be lower, it would be fantastic."
"I would like to see a default dashboard widget that shows the topology of the clusters defined for the graylog install."
"More customization is always useful."
"Since container orchestration systems are popular and Graylog fits the niche well, perhaps they could officially support running in docker containers on Kubernetes as a StatefulSet as a use case. That way, the declarative nature of Kubernetes config files would document their best case deployment scenario-"
"I would like to see a date and time in the Graylog Grok patterns so that I can save time when searching for a log. I like how the streams and the search query work, but adding a date and time will allow me to pull out a log in a milli-second."
"I would like to see some kind of visualization included in Graylog."
"We would like to have some type of predefined setup for the logs, making the setup easier by default."
"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."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
"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."
"I would like to see improvement in the user experience when configuring things, ingesting logs, and creating ports."
"There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."
"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."
"It took a bit of trial and error to get it set up correctly based on everything we had to do. In the end, we had to send everything over HTTP, which was sort of a stop-gap."
