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."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."
"Everything stands out as valuable, including the fact that I can quantify and qualify the logs, create pipelines and process the logs in any way I like, and create charts or data maps."
"UDP is a fast and lightweight protocol, perfect for sending large volumes of logs with minimal overhead."
"The product is scalable. The solution is stable."
"One of the most valuable features is that you are able to do a very detailed search through the log messages in the overview."
"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."
"We're using the Community edition, but I know that it has really good dashboarding and alerts."
"Real-time UDP/GELF logging and full text-based searching."
"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."
"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
"Scalability has been good for our needs. We haven't run into any scaling issues in regards to size so far."
"Technical support is always great."
"The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."
"We are able to diagnose problems before our customers."
"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."
"It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
"There should be some user groups and an auto sign-in feature."
"I would like to see a default dashboard widget that shows the topology of the clusters defined for the graylog install."
"Graylog can improve the index rotation as it's quite a complex solution."
"It would be great if Graylog could provide a better Python package in order to make it easier to use for the Python community."
"Dashboards, stream alerts and parsing could be improved."
"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."
"The infrastructure cost is the main issue. I like the rest. If the infrastructure costs could be lower, it would be fantastic."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"In my opinion, this solution has a steep learning curve and requires practice if users to be able to use this tool very efficiently."
"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."
"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."
"Sumo Logic Security is expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"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."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
