Sumo Logic
Chose Sumo Logic
Sumo hits the right balance between the high price of Splunk and the reduced features and usabilty of cheaper competitors like Graylog and Humio
Chose Sumo Logic
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 …
Chose Sumo Logic
It's cheaper, by an ungodly number of dollars. Splunk is insanely expensive. But Splunk is also incredibly fast and efficient. Splunk also holds information indefinitely (forever) so if I wanted to see if a specific end-user clicked a very specific button in 2012, I can search …
Chose Sumo Logic
We felt the features were comparable and Sumo Logic offered a better price. This was our first log aggregation tool so we don't have a lot of insight for competing products. I speak with many others specifically regarding splunk and it seems to be comparable in many ways except …
Chose Sumo Logic
Provides the same basic solution as Splunk as it is a central log aggregator. The main difference for us is hosted or cloud vs. on-premise. The other large difference for us was the central management of the collectors. Sumo provides a single view of all the collectors, …
Chose Sumo Logic
For use this was a better overall solution for our needs. Between reporting, access and the ability to support an external two-factor solution for controlled access.
Chose Sumo Logic
Comparing them to Logstash and other open source tools, Sumo Logic is a clean, already well built tool that is ready to ingest and analyze data instantly. Other open source tools take a lot of time to build and manage; and their graphs/dashboards are almost always lacking. Sumo …
Chose Sumo Logic
We had used Splunk previously. Sumo Logic defeats them when it comes to cost, including the costs that would normally come with supporting/managing/patching/upgrading your own infrastructure and storage. Those were wins, but especially the real-time CDN integrations due to Sumo …

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
  • Its ability to detect and correct IBM MQ issues before they effect the production.
  • performance trends and statistics in real-time.
  • Rapid and accurate monitoring of Command Servers, Dead Letter Queues, Queue Managers, Qdepth and Listeners.
  • Built-in complex event processing to gain valuable visibility into order fulfillment processes

  • Log Aggregation and uploading. The architecture for Sumo Logic makes a great deal of sense and works very well.
  • Automated analysis. It still impresses me how well a newly uploaded log can be broken into intelligent parts, then searched and sorted using their tools.
  • Dashboards. It might not be what YOU will need as an IT admin, but you can give access to these dashboards easily to business users who love that kind of stuff. Most other types of (monitoring / alerting) tools, for no apparent reason, lack this feature.
  • Reporting, monitoring, and graphing. Given, you need to have useful log generation for an application or service as a prerequisite for sumo logic to be able to gain use, once it has it is an amazingly powerful tool.

Cons
  • The UI needs a lot of improvements to meet today's standards while keeping the functional part highly performing as it used to be
  • Being unable to run reports through the workgroup security manager is a serious con, I think they need to consider giving it more attention
  • the auto-monitoring feature performance goes low when it's enabled during a heavy workloads, it leads to a lower/heavier performance, but during the latest update I feel it got lighter somehow.
  • They also need to give more attention to the encryption and enhance it with the latest encryption technologies

  • 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.

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.

We had used Splunk previously. Sumo Logic defeats them when it comes to cost, including the costs that would normally come with supporting/managing/patching/upgrading your own infrastructure and storage. Those were wins, but especially the real-time CDN integrations due to Sumo Logic's collaborations with other vendors. We had spoken to Logentries and discovered that many of the cons we found with Sumo Logic seemed to have been resolved in their product. Their pitfall was that, at the time, Logentries did not have the ability to get real-time log ingestion from our CDN. They said they had a solution, which was scripted, but we had not evaluated/tested. Logentries also did not have a User / RBAC REST API, and are nowhere near the level of compliance that Sumo Logic had (https://www.sumologic.com/press/2015-02-19/sumo-logic-successfully-completes-pci-data-security-stand...). In the end, I believe Logentries and Sumo Logic would be two good vendors to get involved in a bake-off
