We performed a comparison between LogRhythm SIEM 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.
"Investigations are something really remarkable. We can drill down right to the raw logs by running different queries and getting those on the console itself."
"It is easy to implement (turn on) - does need a skilled analyst to develop queries and playbooks."
"The data connectors that Microsoft Sentinel provides are easy to integrate when we work with a Microsoft agent."
"We are able to deploy within half an hour and we only require one person to complete the implementation."
"It is always correlating to IOCs for normal attacks, using Azure-related resources. For example, if any illegitimate IP starts unusual activity on our Azure firewall, then it automatically generates an alarm for us."
"The product can integrate with any device."
"Its inbuilt Kusto Query Language is a valuable feature. It provides the flexibility needed to leverage advanced data analytics rules and policies and enables us to easily navigate all our security events in a single view. It helps any user easily understand the data or any security lags in their data and applications."
"It has a lot of great features."
"We have seen a massive increase in the amount of data that we can collect, the type of things that we can see, the way we can look at logs, the way we can get alerts, and the way can create our own customer roles, which has allowed us to customize the work in our environment."
"SOAR is integrated with the dashboard that we use for threat management. Because it's all integrated, it is useful for us when we deploy something on-prem."
"The dashboards in the LogRhythm SIEM really help us as a starting point. It gives us a starting point we can go to every day. We walk through several dashboards to see anomalous activity for further investigation."
"It allows us to automate a lot of things with a smaller team."
"It has helped us centralize and have better visibility into devices on our network. We are better able to respond to threats in a timely manner."
"It has allowed us to dive deeper into our network and figure out what is going on by parsing logs properly and being able to reduce the time it takes to work cases down from seven days to approximately two days."
"The artificial intelligence engine."
"NextGen SIEM's most valuable feature is its user-friendliness."
"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"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."
"Sumo Logic is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos."
"Support has been excellent. Sumo Logic's support staff is really good, both their account management staff and direct support."
"It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
"One key area that can be improved is by building a strong integration with our XDR platform."
"They only classify alerts into three categories: high, medium, and low. So, from the user's point of view, having another critical category would be awesome."
"There is some relatively advanced knowledge that you have to have to properly leverage Sentinel's full capabilities. I'm thinking about things like the creation of workbooks, how you do threat-hunting, and the kinds of notifications you're getting... It takes time for people to ramp up on that and develop a familiarity or expertise with it."
"If Sentinel had a graphical user interface, it would be easier to use. I would also like it to be more customizable."
"The interface could be more user-friendly. It''s a small improvement that they could make if they wanted to."
"Only one thing is missing: NDR is not available out-of-the-box. The competitive cloud-native SIEM providers have the NDR component. Currently, Sentinel needs NDR to be powered from either Corelight or some other NDR provider."
"Its implementation could be simpler. It is not really simple or straightforward. It is in the middle. Sometimes, connectors are a little bit complex."
"We do have in-built or out-of-the-box metrics that are shown on the dashboard, but it doesn't give the kind of metrics that we need from our environment whereby we need to check the meantime to detect and meantime to resolve an incident. I have to do it manually. I have to pull all the logs or all the alerts that are fed into Sentinel over a certain period. We do this on a monthly basis, so I go into Microsoft Sentinel and pull all the alerts or incidents we closed over a period of thirty days."
"Stability has probably been one area where Health Checks have not been great with the product. We have been told that they are going to improve Health Checks on product, though we do struggle with them on a daily basis."
"One thing we have mentioned to them before is that we'd like to be able to do searches, or drill-downs, directly from an alarm. When you click it and the Inspector tab slides out, that might be a good place to be able to click the host to search for the last 24 hours. I know the search is right there but it would be even nicer to just click that and then have an option to search something there."
"My big thing is the easability. I don't like to go to two different systems. The fat client that you have to install to configure it, then the web console which is just for reporting and analysis. These features need to collapse, and it needs to be in a single solution. Going through the web solution in the future is the way to do it, because right now, it is a bit cumbersome."
"I would like to see our vulnerabilities counter. We will be using Tenable to fill that void right now."
"Technical support could use a little work in the terms of responding back. The feedback that we received is they do need a little more staff."
"There are other security technologies outside of this SIEM that should be inside of this SIEM. I can see in their roadmap that they're trying to address a lot of these things, and have these technologies built into the solution, because there is no point in going to another vendor or opening up a second window to obtain the data that you need."
"For our market, the solution is quite expensive. It would be ideal if they could work on and improve their existing pricing plans to help make it more affordable in our country."
"It should have some more message monitoring features. It can also have some free message monitoring tools."
"The initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it."
"We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels."
"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."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution should improve its UI."
