    IBM Guardium DP is suitable for monitoring, auditing, data discovery, vulnerability analysis, and risk detection and investigation in relational and non-relational databases, cloud database services, indexed databases, and non-relational databases as well. IBM Guardium DPR is appropriate for supporting the process of detecting anomalous behavior in accessing sensitive data, helping to optimize the work of cybersecurity analysts or data team analysts by providing the data officer within our organization with insight into compromised users, compromised databases, or file servers containing sensitive data.

    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

    Pros
    IBM

    • Provides customizable security controls and policies that help us meet compliance and regulatory requirements.
    • Uses advanced algorithms and machine learning to detect abnormal behavior patterns.
    • Helps us protect sensitive and confidential data by controlling access.
    • Integrates easily with other security systems and tools.

    Sumo Logic
    • 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.

    • It has been very effective at protection. Nothing has gotten by it in three years.
    • It's pretty easy to install in agent based mode.

    Cons
    IBM
    • Cleanup the menu bar- way too many items.
    • Ktap support for newer O/S. Recently, I have had to open support tickets to get the most recent support for the RHEL Kernel.
    • Also, upgrading agents to V12 doesnt not have the same Flex or exact match for KTAP as 11.5. You would think V12 would have the same Kernel support as 11.5. Clients are moving to V12.

    • I like the help center, but I think if it had more GUI tools, it could help new users.
    • Pulling out data is sometimes hard to read, (Maybe if I knew how to export data better, this would not be an issue for me).
    • I would like better know-how on how to create reports that will help our business.

    • Trend Miro ServerProtect required to improve to mange the logs collected from storage devices as some time false positives comes in picture .
    • Pricing is based on per user Or Terabytes Storage, but in-case client wants users based say 50 users that should be competitive rather than multiply by per users ,their should be Slab pricing .

    It is a perfect system to detect problems that we do not see manually, it is light, with a very simple learning curve and with great protection of our data, we will use it forever.

    Usability
    IBM
    This software is not the easiest to use in all work environments, each department has some difficulties accessing and managing some functions, it can be considered a complex softy, but I consider it necessary to have it in the company due to its security qualities of warm cans, it offers exactly what it promises but with a little difficulty in its configuration.

    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.

    There has been great support coming from IBM. It is easy to use and a great way to keep our data secure. I would recommend this to other possible users and if I were to move companies, I would recommend we use this there too. Thank you

    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.

    My experience with support has not been great. They really had lots of prerequisite work and information gathering requirements before really getting involved. I have no problem doing needed work but I just felt a support person could do things more quickly and spare me so much challenge that was unnecessary. The website has good access to updates and knowledge base information but it was a bit limited in scope.

    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.

    IBM Security Guardium has extended capabilities of automatically locating databases and assessing the vulnerabilities and configuration flaws in them. IBM Security Guardium stacks up against other products due to the additional features that can be easily added to your IT systems after installation. Additionally, Guardium has the ability to monitor a mainframe database environment which makes it the best choice!

    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.

    • I can't think of any negative side effects other than it being SO slow sometimes, but compared to Splunk everything is slow
    • It's SO much cheaper than Splunk that the time it takes to query information is well worth it
    • In the times that we've had Sumo go down or stop logging information, we've found that we'd be absolutely lost without Sumo
