"It has in-depth monitoring capabilities and an easy way for setting up dashboards. I can expand in various areas, or I can reduce areas. It supports different types of breakdowns, filters, and rules. It is very simple for an out-of-the-box type of product. It doesn't take a lot of time to figure it out, which is unlike some of the solutions that I have looked at. It meets all the aspects."
"We did previously use a different solution, but SolarWinds is much better. It's easy to interact with SolarWinds. It's easy to operate, easy to configure and is generally easier compared to what we were working with before."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the visibility into both attempted and failed logins."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use for the end user."
"The out of the box reports and dashboard. It was easy to trim down these windows to something we could quickly use."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting."
"It performs network behavior monitoring, log monitoring, and disaster recovery monitoring."
"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"We are able to diagnose problems before our customers."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"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."
"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"The solution is quite stable."
"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
"The solution's technical support is okay, but we don't have an SLA, and sometimes the response times are very slow."
"I would like to have a more customizable dashboard."
"The product should improve the ease with which you can create event alerts. They are not as hard now but you need to have an easier way."
"It can be difficult for users who are inexperienced with the solution."
"I imagine we will have to develop our own reports soon, this seems to be more cumbersome."
"One of the drawbacks of being so flexible is that it is also a fairly complicated software application to install, configure, and maintain."
"The reporting could be more robust. It can be a lot more granular and that will make it a lot more useful in comparison to how it is incorporated at the moment."
"Training for this solution needs to be improved, as new employees are sometimes unfamiliar with the product."
"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."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"From the network segmentation side, there is some discrepancy in log onboarding. The tool needs to improve direct API integrations, login integration, native login integration, etc."
