We performed a comparison between Elastic Security and Sumo Logic Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"We have no complaints about the features or functionality."
"It is always correlating to IOCs for normal attacks, using Azure-related resources. For example, if any illegitimate IP starts unusual activity on our Azure firewall, then it automatically generates an alarm for us."
"The automation feature is valuable."
"Having your logs put all in one place with machine learning working on those logs is a good feature. I don't need to start thinking, "Where are my logs?" My logs are in a centralized repository, like Log Analytics, which is why you can't use Sentinel without Log Analytics. Having all those logs in one place is an advantage."
"The best functionality that you can get from Azure Sentinel is the SOAR capability. So, you can estimate any type of activity, such as when an alert was triggered or an incident was found."
"The part that was very unexpected was Sentinel's ability to integrate with Azure Lighthouse, which, as a managed services solution provider, gives us the ability to also manage our customers' Sentinel environments or Sentinel workspaces. It is a big plus for us. With its integration with Lighthouse, we get the ability to monitor multiple workspaces from one portal. A lot of the Microsoft Sentinel workbooks already integrate with that capability, and we save countless amounts of money by simply being able to almost immediately realize multitenant capabilities. That alone is a big plus for us."
"The pricing of the product is excellent."
"Azure Application Gateway makes things a lot easier. You can create dashboards, alert rules, hunting and custom queries, and functions with it."
"Elastic Security is a highly flexible platform that can be implemented anywhere."
"The most valuable feature is the search function, which allows me to go directly to the target to see the specific line a customer is searching for."
"We chose the product based on the ability to scan for malware using a malware behavioral model as opposed to just a traditional hash-based antivirus. Therefore, it's not as intensive."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"It's not very complicated to install Elastic."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to collect authentication information from service providers."
"It's very customizable, which is quite helpful."
"The most valuable thing is that this solution is widely used for work management and research. It's easy to jump into the security use case with the same technology."
"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."
"We are able to diagnose problems before our customers."
"Technical support is always great."
"The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."
"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."
"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."
"Sumo Logic is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos."
"Multi-tenancy, in my opinion, needs to be improved. I believe it can do better as a managed service provider."
"We're satisfied with the comprehensiveness of the security protection. That said, we do have issues sometimes where there have been global outages and we need to raise a ticket with Microsoft."
"The solution could improve the playbooks."
"The only thing is sometimes you can have a false positive."
"Some of the data connectors are outdated, at least the ones that utilize Linux machines for log forwarding. I believe that Microsoft is already working on improving this."
"The data connectors for third-party tools could be improved, as some aren't available in Sentinel. They need to be available in the data connector panel."
"I would like to see more AI used in processes."
"Sometimes, we are observing large ingestion delays. We expect logs within 5 minutes, but it takes about 10 to 15 minutes."
"We had issues with scalability. Logstash was not scaling and aggregation was getting delayed. We moved to Fluentd making our stack from ELK to EFK."
"The interface could be more user friendly because it is sometimes hard to deal with."
"There should be a simulation environment to check whether my Elastic implementation is functioning perfectly fine. Other solutions have their own Android and iOS applications that I can install on my mobile so that I am continuously connected to the SIEM."
"Elastic Security can be a bit difficult to use if a person only has experience in SMBs with tools like Zoho. The product can also be difficult for those who have never dealt with query language."
"Sometimes, the solution isn't the easiest to use."
"Elastic Security could improve the documentation. It would help if they were more simple and clean."
"The solution could offer better reporting features."
"The price of this product could be improved, especially the additional costs. I would also like to see better-quality graphics."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
"I would like to see improvement in the user experience when configuring things, ingesting logs, and creating ports."
"We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels."
"There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"The solution should improve its UI."
"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."
"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."
