The main logging and review of our company's processes is done using Sumo Logic. It allows us to follow a process from start to finish, understand issues and statistics, and build many pages with monitoring graphs and queries that help us be on top of issues and plan future projects based on the current situation.
  • Graphs
  • Monitoring
  • Data and statistics
Cons
  • Query language ease of use
  • Resetting of a graph/query's time range
  • Readability of each log
Sumo Logic is best suited for when you're interested to follow a specific process and understand what happened in it. When you're looking to understand specific values that are set in some processes it's a less ideal tool as the readability and querying of the logs isn't simple enough for such a task.

We use Sumo Logic to centralize all of our application logs into one easy to use and easy to search interface. This is used not only for production but also our development environments. We use it for troubleshooting issues, development assistance, as well as for security and compliance. Having all of our logs in one place is fantastic.
  • Centralized management, everything can be done from the website.
  • Software upgrades of the collectors, once again all done from the website. Easy to identify out of date collectors
  • Searching and parsing logs. Very easy run a query logs and quantify the data.
Cons
  • Changing collectors from web config to local configs could be handled a bit better.
If you have more than one server or application that you generate logs on, Sumo Logic makes the pain of collecting the data and searching it go away. Also with their live tail feature, you can view and parse logs in real time. Sumo Logic makes it easy to collect logs from file based, windows event logs, and network syslog sources.

OneLogin utilizes Sumo Logic for an advanced look into transactions that occur within the OneLogin platform for all of its customers. As a valued partner of OneLogin, Sumo Logic extends a limited version of its cloud-based offering. OneLogin customers can use Sumo Logic in the same way that we at OneLogin utilize it with restrictions. The limited users without a paid subscription can only view seven days of log history and a limited amount of logs. Sumo Logic is a go-to troubleshooting tool for technical folks like myself at OneLogin. It just works, and the information is there for us to review.
  • Streams logs in near-real-time to the platform
  • Allows email alerts based upon log information
  • Allows users to create dashboards based upon events
  • Searchable event history from logs
Cons
  • Could possibly place events in more human-readable form
  • Could display errors with descriptions instead of just the code
  • Probably other areas for improvement on the dashboard functionality
Many products have built-in visibility to events like when a user logs in. What they don't have is visibility into failed login events, for instance. Sumo Logic provides incredible insight for troubleshooting when things don't go as expected. Based upon the logs, key people could also be alerted based upon event details. This is a very powerful platform.

Sumo Logic makes storing and analyzing your data seamless.

Sumo Logic is used to aggregate our logs from multiple environments and allows us a one stop location to see everything that's happening within our infrastructure. We just log into Sumo Logic and are able to use their query system to easily get at the data we need to make decisions.
  • One stop shop to analyze your data.
  • Great search tool to drill down to issues/problems you might have.
  • Easy interface.
Cons
  • Can be daunting at first.
  • Need to educate people on how the categorizing and searching works.
  • Setup can be a bit slow.
For us using Sumo Logic as the centralized location for all of our logs is great. You can either set up custom dashboards to see your data or they have default dashboards/graphs for whatever type of data you're trying to input (web logs, server logs, etc). It makes seeing your data easy.

Desktop Admin in <3 with Sumo, would like to know more!

We use Sumo Logic to pull data from other systems we use. Once we have all the data in a centralized location, we use it to help us analyze our services. From an IT perspective, it helps us support our end users in the best way possible. I would say that our IT team is quite new and green with Sumo Logic, and some would like more information on what Sumo Logic can do for us.
  • It helps our track down laptops that touch our systems
  • It helps us decipher laptops that have self-named hostnames
  • It helps us track down mac addresses
Cons
  • 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.
I love using Sumo Logic when it comes to it finding a laptop on our system. Sometimes we always don't have the right documentation on a system or no documentation on a system at all. In these scenarios, we might have the name of the user, their user ID, or the mac address. What Sumo Logic has provided us when pulling reports from the various systems it allows us to find these machines.
