Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 can integrate threat intelligence solutions into the product.""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.""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 provides easy visibility. I also like the shareable queries because we share a lot across groups.""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.""Sumo Logic is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos."

"It allows us to gain a comprehensive overview of our infrastructure.""The virtualization solution supports data center virtualization, network and security.""The most valuable feature is server virtualization. It's been very useful.""The root cause analysis feature is very valuable.""We use the on-premises version of this solution for log analysis and to find details about certain issues.""One of the things I like about it is its interface. When it comes to generating reports on VMs and stuff, it's very quick. This is very handy for the technical team, who need to generate reports quickly. So that's really good.""Log Insight correlates with the VMware product log. It can assemble the logs you want, making it easier to find the output, incident, or keyword you want to search.""It is very scalable and can handle a large workload."

Cons
"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.""There are some API gaps that are missing.""In my opinion, this solution has a steep learning curve and requires practice if users to be able to use this tool very efficiently.""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.""Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless.""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.""We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels.""We would like to have some type of predefined setup for the logs, making the setup easier by default."

More Sumo Logic Security Cons →

"The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring.""The solution should be more user-friendly. The user interface and dashboard could be simplified.""Log Insight should be better at dealing with audits and security logs. We use another product called QRadar for that.""Technical support should be improved.""They should improve their web interface to make it more user-friendly.""In vRealize login files, we have limitations regarding log partitions.""Log retention should have more options for user control.""Documentation is lacking, including some guide as to how to use the expressions. It is not clear how to look for a log, for example. Some examples in the documentation might be helpful. I think that VMware had good documentation, but it's no longer hosted. The documentation is not as easy to understand as it was before."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Purchasing Sumo Logic through the AWS Marketplace was a simple step."
  • "Purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace is very easy."
  • "We chose to go through the AWS Marketplace because it makes it a lot easier when we bill our customers. Rather than having to get multiple different sources of information then correlate a monthly bill for our customers, it is just included in the AWS usage charges."
  • "The AWS Marketplace pricing is fairly reasonable for what it does. I wouldn't call it expensive, but I wouldn't call it cheap. It is pretty good."
  • "The only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."
  • "The price scaling comes in a bit expensive."
  • "Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."
  • "If we went to ELK Stack, which is open source, it would have been less costly, but it would have required more development from our side."
  • More Sumo Logic Security Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing could always be lower. If it were free, I would be more satisfied."
  • "The license cost for any other monitoring tool is too high compared to this product."
  • "Pricing is good because it is part of the suite package. It comes in a bundle for us."
  • "The licensing cost for vRealize Log Insight is a little higher, so in terms of cost, it all depends upon what kind of environment you have. If you have a complete virtualized environment, or at least you're using a ninety-five percent virtualized environment, then vRealize Log Insight will play a very good role because it is a VMware component, so it has very tight integration with other VMware components and systems. This means you don't have to procure any other monitoring and management tool, and you don't need a separate automation tool. vRealize Log Insight will have an upper hand if your environment is purely virtualized on VMware. If you're using a mix of physical and virtual components, for example, a 50:50 ratio, then you need to have a third-party component to manage overall monitoring."
  • "I am not sure what the exact cost is. However, I believe the vRealize suite costs $2,500.00 per year."
  • "I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
  • "I think it is a reasonably priced product."
  • "The pricing has been updated recently."
