    Pandas are great for quick and relatively simple analytics and visualizations
    Pandas work well for exploratory ad-hoc analytic work
    But , We had little success in implementing complicated predictive analytics. And large data sizes can be a problem.

    Sumo Logic
    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
    Open Source
    • It is easy to do statistical analysis
    • It is easy to clean the data
    • It is easy to produce graphs and charts to visualize

    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.

    Cons
    Open Source
    • There are a lot of libraries and ways to do visualization. Sometimes it is very confusing.
    • Error handling can be a challenge. Sometimes the error messages do not provide valuable clues for the debugging.
    • In our case, there are a bunch of different frameworks and libraries working together. I would rather work with one framework, well tuned for my use case

    • 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.

    Over the years, we tried a lot of different frameworks and tools, homegrown and commercial. Pandas provide the best results.
    It is lightweight, flexible and easy to implement.

    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.

    Sumo Logic
    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.

    All these frameworks are great for gathering data and providing some initial analysis. But for real performance debugging work one needs more than tools provided by this tools. That's where the pandas excel.

    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've assisted several OneLogin customers with partner accounts to Sumo Logic. It has always been pleasant.

    Return on Investment
    Open Source
    • Performance debugging was time consuming and mostly poorly automated exploratory process. Once we started use pandas for these tasks, it really moved the needle. Pandas are instrumental to provide actionable insights. As a result we were able to improve notably cloud software resource utilization and performance
    • Analytics implemented with pandas allow us to detect and. address problems in our APIs before they are notable to our customers

    Sumo Logic
    • 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
