We performed a comparison between Check Point Security Management 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."One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Sentinel is that it's cloud-based."
"The ability of all these solutions to work together natively is essential. We have an Azure subscription, including Log Analytics. This feature automatically acts as one of the security baselines and detects recommendations because it also integrates with Defender. We can pull the sysadmin logs from Azure. It's all seamless and native."
"Previously, it was a little bit difficult to find where an incident came from, including which IP address and which country. So in Sentinel, it's very easy to find where the incident came from since we can easily get the information from the dashboard, after which we take action quickly."
"It is quite efficient. It helps our clients in identifying their security issues and respond quickly. Our clients want to automate incident response and all those things."
"The log query feature has been the most valuable because it's very good. You can put your data on the cloud and run queues from Sentinel. It will do it all very fast. I love that I don't have to upload it to an Excel file and then manually look for a piece of information. Sentinel is much faster and is good for big databases."
"The standout feature of Sentinel is that, because it's cloud-based and because it's from Microsoft, it integrates really well with all the other Microsoft products. It's really simple to set up and get going."
"The AI capability is one of the main features of the solution because I believe that in the market, there are few solutions that are providing security solutions based on AI and machine learning."
"We can use Sentinel's playbook to block threats. It covers all of the environment, giving us great visibility."
"The log dashboard in the SmartConsole is very useful and convenient for monitoring and tracking."
"The most valuable feature for me is Identity Awareness."
"It provides for capabilities and has allowed us to be more scalable."
"Being able to install a version of Check Point Security Management helps us avoid the expense of creating a server dedicated to that function, and we save on equipment and technical personnel in installing it, which in the end accelerates the administration and management of equipment to connect to it."
"The compliance is great."
"Check Point Security Management has improved our organization because all corporate firewalls can be managed with a single interface."
"Check Point Security Management has a great feature that allows you to automate the request of the automated server."
"The product has done a great job in protecting our business network and SCADA systems."
"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
"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."
"We are able to diagnose problems before our customers."
"Sumo Logic is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos."
"It provides easy visibility. I also like the shareable queries because we share a lot across groups."
"Technical support is always great."
"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."
"Its implementation could be simpler. It is not really simple or straightforward. It is in the middle. Sometimes, connectors are a little bit complex."
"I believe one of the challenges I encountered was the absence of live training sessions, even with the option to pay for them."
"There is room for improvement in entity behavior and the integration site."
"The interface could be more user-friendly. It''s a small improvement that they could make if they wanted to."
"Microsoft Defender has a built-in threat expert option that enables you to contact an expert. That feature isn't available in Sentinel because it's a huge product that integrates all the technologies. I would like Microsoft to add the threat expert option so we can contact them. There are a few other features, like threat assessment that the PG team is working on. I expect them to release this feature in the next quarter."
"If their UI was a bit more streamlined and easy to find when I need it, then that would be a great improvement."
"The playbook is a bit difficult and could be improved."
"Sentinel provides decent visibility, but it's sometimes a little cumbersome to get to the information I want because there is so much information. I would also like to see more seamless integration between Sentinel and third-party security products."
"Being a security appliance, there should be the ability for the Security Management server to send email alerts via authenticated email."
"Installing a policy takes a very long time to complete."
"I like that the Compliance software blade is available for free with the Security Management server purchase, but it is free for only one year - after that you have to buy an additional license to continue using it. I think such an important feature is vital for the management server, and should not be licensed separately."
"It would be helpful if we could enable URL and application traffic control remote access."
"It would be helpful if the documentation and good practice guides are updated. Many are still from R77."
"I've found the solution was a bit unstable."
"Check Point EDR has room for improvement, especially in the area of Data Loss Prevention where it currently lacks functionality."
"For those not familiar with the Command Line interface, there should be an option in the GUI for operating backups."
"In my opinion, this solution has a steep learning curve and requires practice if users to be able to use this tool very efficiently."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see improvement in the user experience when configuring things, ingesting logs, and creating ports."
"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."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"The solution should improve its UI."
