We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""It provides easy visibility. I also like the shareable queries because we share a lot across groups.""The solution is quite stable.""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.""Scalability has been good for our needs. We haven't run into any scaling issues in regards to size so far.""I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well.""We can integrate threat intelligence solutions into the product.""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."

More Sumo Logic Security Pros →

"It is a very useful tool if you have a VMware environment.""The solution's simplicity, flexibility, and extensibility are valuable features as we can integrate everything in vRealize.""One of the most valuable features of vRealize Log Insight is that it gives you a clear forecast about your existing machines, for example, how long your machines could be supported and how long the remaining capacity is to host your machines. This is one of the best options available within vRealize Log Insight. Another valuable feature of the solution is automation. My company deploys a lot of automation when required in a very, very short period, and in a very uniform manner, and even if the automation is being deployed for different processes and departments, it's pretty much the same across the environment, so vRealize Log Insight helps reduce a lot of ambiguities and helps my company manage operational efficiencies well.""It allows us to gain a comprehensive overview of our infrastructure.""Our current costs are too high, and this tool will help us to better optimize our infrastructure.""The root cause analysis feature is very valuable.""The most valuable feature is server virtualization. It's been very useful.""I like the interface."

Cons
"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 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 are some API gaps that are missing.""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.""We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels.""If you look at some of the other offerings right now that are available in the market, they do offer APM as well as the product they're offering. I believe Sumo Logic is not there yet. So that's something which I would love to see.""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.""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 pricing of the solution could be improved.""Paid or free does not matter, but it is complex to find good training material for vRealize Log Insight.""The monitoring landscape is getting bigger. When it comes to infrastructure monitoring, we need more visibility. VMware needs to integrate more related applications and third-party products. That would make it more appealing to an audience beyond the VMware team.""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.""Log Insight should be better at dealing with audits and security logs. We use another product called QRadar for that.""I don't use the solution on a day to day basis, so I'm not sure what specifically can be improved.""Log retention should have more options for user control.""I think that it should be able to integrate with other third-party backup and recovery solutions, more that it does now."

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."
