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 like the correlation and the alerting."
"The product is scalable. The solution is stable."
"Real-time UDP/GELF logging and full text-based searching."
"We run a containerized microservices environment. Being able to set up streams and search for errors and anomalies across hundreds of containers is why a log aggregation platform like Graylog is valuable to us."
"It is used as a log manager/SIEM. It provides visibility into the infrastructure and security related events."
"Open source and user friendly."
"I am very proud of how very stable the solution is."
"What I like about Graylog is that it's real-time and you have access to the raw data. So, you ingest it, and you have access to every message and every data item you ingest. You can then build analytics on top of that. You can look at the raw data, and you can do some volumetric estimations, such as how big traffic you have, how many messages of data of a type you have, etc."
"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 integrate threat intelligence solutions into the product."
"With this tool, we provide access to every developer team the ability to find errors, then they come to us and ask for specific help."
"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"For many of our services, we use Sumo Logic to track errors and send notifications to our Slack channel, if there are issues. Then, we have our support people monitoring this, and they can react quickly."
"Sumo Logic is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos."
"Lacks sufficient documentation."
"More customization is always useful."
"The infrastructure cost is the main issue. I like the rest. If the infrastructure costs could be lower, it would be fantastic."
"Its scalability gets complicated when we have to update or edit multiple nodes."
"I would like to see some kind of visualization included in Graylog."
"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."
"With technical support, you are on your own without an enterprise license."
"The biggest problem is the collector application, as we wanted to avoid using Graylog Collector Sidecar due to its architecture."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"The initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it."
"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."
