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."I am very proud of how very stable the solution is."
"Open source and user friendly."
"Real-time UDP/GELF logging and full text-based searching."
"One of the most valuable features is that you are able to do a very detailed search through the log messages in the overview."
"Allowing us to set up alerts and integrate with platforms we already use, such as Slack and OpsGenie to alert users of these errors proactively, is also a very useful feature."
"The ability to write custom alerts is key to information security and compliance."
"The best feature of Graylog is the Elasticsearch integration. We can integrate and we can run filters, such as an event of interest, and those logs we can send to any SIEM tool or as an analytic. Additionally, there are clear and well-documented implementation instructions on their website to follow if needed."
"This had increased productivity for the dev and support teams, because we are directly notifying them."
"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
"It provides easy visibility. I also like the shareable queries because we share a lot across groups."
"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
"The solution is quite stable."
"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"Support has been excellent. Sumo Logic's support staff is really good, both their account management staff and direct support."
"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."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"I would like to see some kind of visualization included in Graylog."
"The biggest problem is the collector application, as we wanted to avoid using Graylog Collector Sidecar due to its architecture."
"Graylog needs to improve their authentication. Also, the fact that Graylog displays logs from the top down is just ridiculous."
"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 would like to see a default dashboard widget that shows the topology of the clusters defined for the graylog install."
"Its scalability gets complicated when we have to update or edit multiple nodes."
"Lacks sufficient documentation."
"Graylog can improve the index rotation as it's quite a complex solution."
"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."
"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."
"Sumo Logic Security is expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"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."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"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."
