Sumo Logic is a log management offering from the San Francisco based company of the same name.
In my opinion, AgileBlue excels for small teams with a breadth of platforms and responsibilities under their umbrella. If ones organization has independent security, network, patch, etc. departments, AgileBlue may feel redundant.
SumoLogic is a fantastic log aggregator and analysis tool, a fine alternative to Splunk. Searching is powerful and mostly intuitive and results come fast. If you have application logs in clusters or Kubernetes pods that lose their logs every time they're restarted, Sumo is the solution for you
They are extremely quick identifying any potentially unusual activity
They make it easy for us to ensure that our employees can log in from other countries without triggering suspicious activity lock-outs when they travel.
Our quarterly meet-ups are a great way to keep my team up to date in the current cloud security scene, as well as to make sure we're doing everything we can to keep our users safe.
Sumo Logic allowed for our InfoSec team to ingest logs from our CDN directly, in real-time, instead of massive compressed archives that were sent every two-hours (the only alternative at the time). Sumo Logic had an app for these logs, that allowed us to easily get an immediate payoff from the data, with canned dashboard and saved searches.
Sumo Logic has a fairly extensive REST API when it comes to log sources, source configurations, dashboard data, searches, etc. Their wiki for the API is usually kept up to date.
Sumo Logic, during the period of time I had used their product, had added the ability to configure agents via configuration files. This allowed customers to configure their endpoints, and modify the endpoints, with configuration management tools like Chef / Puppet / Salt. Beforehand, the only option was to always make changes either via the web portal or REST API.
The solutions engineers were extremely helpful, and easily reachable when issues would occur.
Users at our company found it easy to get started, working on new dashboards, scheduled searches, and alerting. The alerting worked well with our third-party paging tool.
I give it a 9 because it has so much more information than other tools we've used in the past. That is great, but it can get a little overwhelming when trying to narrow down exactly what you need to see. I will say, though, the information has gotten a lot easier to digest with the rollout of their new AI features.
Sumo Logic is very powerful but definitely requires some configuration work to get the most out of it. You can get a certification related to this, but it is definitely not something you can just throw together.
I would give this rating because I attended a free Sumo Logic training at a WeWork in Chicago. I found the training very useful, and I learned a lot of features that I was not aware of before I went to the training. I like the idea that SumoLogic provides free training seminars. I am certified in level1, and I plan on certifying to level2.
I was satisfied with the implementation, as at the time, it was the best way to implement the product with the available feature sets in Sumo Logic. User creation and management became more of an issue during continued use, instead of it being an issue related to deploying the product in our environment.
AgileBlue integrates as a partner to SentinelOne - allowing out MSSP to have insights into both platforms. Using AgileBlue as an escalation management tool allows false positive results to get handled quickly, low severity alerts to be dealt with before escalations, and high severity alerts to get forwarded to the appropriate members of higher-level triage teams
Sumo Logic works very well out of the gate. For a small business it has given us what we need. I worked at a larger company previously, and we produced so many logs we had to create a custom logging service to handle them all. Cost and availability are big issues when deciding between the different services, whether self maintained and hosted, or provided by another company.
Having AgileBlue as our cyber security watchdogs gives that peace of mind knowing that they are on the cutting edge of cyber security and are real pros.
