We performed a comparison between Sumo Logic Security and Zabbix 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 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."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"Technical support is always great."
"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 are able to diagnose problems before our customers."
"It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
"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."
"The solution is stable."
"There is less computing power needed for scaling."
"We value the auto-host discovery, template import, bulk import/export features. Newer versions also add nice features, such as multi-IP per host."
"It has an intuitive UI with beautiful graphs and customizable maps."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."
"The initial setup was not complex."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"The overall functionality of Zabbix is very good. The monitoring of bank applications that Zabbix provides is great. The information is displayed on a dashboard that is easily viewed."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"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."
"We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels."
"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 to have some type of predefined setup for the logs, making the setup easier by default."
"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."
"The initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it."
"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."
"Sometimes, the documentation is a little bit written in Estonia – a country in Europe. The language barrier and translation to English can sometimes make it difficult to understand what they're trying to get at. It's just a language thing."
"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."
"The documentation could be improved."
"The user interface could be better."
"The reporting features need improvement, especially detailed inventory reporting. Since it's freeware, reporting may not be a major focus."
"Zabbix technical support is sold separately."
"Correlation of events would be a wonderful addition."
