Likelihood to Recommend Splunk User Behavior Analytics application is necessary when any company wants to capture the threat based on user behavior instead of just counting the number of occurrences of particular event. With Splunk UBA, we can analyse number of anomalies captured and which in turn creating threats which are nearly true positive.
Read full review 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
Read full review Pros Monitor and troubleshoot for any system errors. Get the insights on application data sets and do some predictive analysis. Read full review 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. Read full review Cons Performance-wise, it can be improved. Queries take a long time. Dataset exploration - More data visualization charts can be added. Read full review 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. Read full review Usability 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.
Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review Implementation Rating 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.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Easier we were using
Splunk Enterprise on heavy forwarder on which all the add-on were installed and were using
Splunk Cloud with respect to search head and indexers stack. And with
Splunk Enterprise Security premium app, we were relying on correlation rules which were throwing more number of false positive but after implementing Splunk UBA, we are now getting real-time true positive threat or incidents.
Read full review 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.
Read full review Professional Services I've assisted several OneLogin customers with partner accounts to Sumo Logic. It has always been pleasant.
Read full review Return on Investment Fewer team members to work on real threats. Less time required to deal with real incidents. Easy to implement across the network. Read full review 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 Read full review ScreenShots
