Powerful Integration with Some Complexities
What do you like best about the product?
I like the integration that Sumo Logic has with various tools. I also really like the way it is possible to manage data and create dashboards. The data collection part is something I really appreciate, as well as the possibility of using agents for data collection. The integration with tools like Jira, Atlas, and Google Workspace makes the work much easier, especially because it already comes with pre-made dashboards. I also appreciate the extensive documentation it has, which helps a lot in daily tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the query language of Sumo Logic is a bit complex to handle. Additionally, in some dashboard elements, the way elements are organized on the screen is not very flexible, which could be a bit more adaptable, especially since the sizes are quite fixed. This hinders a bit. Another point is the new contract model that charges per query, which ends up being quite costly for companies, especially those from countries that do not have the dollar as their main currency.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sumo Logic facilitates data cross-referencing, dashboard creation, and precise queries in specific periods, improving information security.
Centralized, cloud-native log ingestion & analytics
What do you like best about the product?
Centralized, cloud-native log ingestion & analytics, Sumo Logic makes it fairly easy to collect logs (and other machine data) from many sources (cloud, servers, apps) into a centralized platform and analyze them.
What do you dislike about the product?
For very large volumes of logs or long time-range searches, queries may be slow. Some users report significant delays or slowness compared to alternatives.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
real-time monitoring and alerting, For log analytics, operations, security use cases (e.g. cloud/SIEM), Sumo’s near real-time ingestion + alerting helps spot and respond to problems faster.
Unified Monitoring Made Easy and Effective
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how this platform brings together log ingestion, metrics, and tracking in one place. It makes it easy to correlate performance events, and I find that it works very well overall.
What do you dislike about the product?
One aspect I didn't appreciate is that when handling large volumes of records, the performance decreases noticeably.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have seen significant benefits from their advanced analytics, which are highly effective at identifying anomalies. This capability enables us to set behavioral baselines and configure proactive alerts. Sumo Logic performs exceptionally well, leading to fewer disruptions and a consistently positive experience overall.
Easy to Use with Powerful Trace Finding
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to use Sumo Logic, which makes my tasks smoother, particularly when it comes to searching for traces I am looking for. The usability of the search feature stands out as it simplifies finding necessary information effectively. Additionally, the initial setup of Sumo Logic was very easy, which made the transition seamless and quick. This has enhanced my security operations as I can efficiently utilize the software without unnecessary hurdles, boosting my overall productivity.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the speed at which Sumo Logic loads results. It can be slow, which hampers efficiency and creates frustration when waiting for important search outcomes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Sumo Logic for security operations, as it helps me find traces effortlessly. Its ease of use, especially the search functionality, makes it intuitive and user-friendly.
Intuitive Interface and Centralized Login Make Workflows Easy
What do you like best about the product?
User interface is nice and easy to use, provide centralized login option
What do you dislike about the product?
query sometime take long time to process and result is not real time
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Application logs monitoring and perform real time healthcheck. We use Sumo logic for application alerts
Effortless Log Search and Data Consolidation at Scale
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the quick log search feature, as it allows for efficient searching through records even at the petabyte scale. Additionally, I find the data consolidation helpful, since it simplifies the process of generating reports.
What do you dislike about the product?
Junior analysts encounter a steep learning curve when trying to master the complex on-site security queries.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sumo Logic is a solid and reliable solution that integrates seamlessly with modern cloud-based IT infrastructures. It has proven valuable for both performance monitoring and effective data management.
Unified Dashboard and Predictive Analytics Streamline Workflow
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciated the native integration of logs, metrics, and tracking within a single dashboard, as it means I no longer need to switch between multiple tools. I also found the predictive analytics feature helpful, since it saves me time.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the API itself is robust, I found the configuration of the control panel and alerts to be less intuitive and not as smooth as I would have liked. Additionally, I was not a fan of its syntax, which I found to be quite cumbersome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sumo Logic addresses a variety of challenges for us and has been extremely helpful, particularly due to its strong core capabilities in analyzing logs and metrics. This has significantly reduced our mean time to resolution, and the level of confidence it offers is truly impressive. Additionally, its scalable data ingestion has proven to be a valuable advantage.
Flexible Pricing and Powerful Insights
What do you like best about the product?
Sumo Logic's Flex pricing model and insight generation.
What do you dislike about the product?
User experience (UX) design does not match a friendly interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This tool is useful for both log management and security monitoring.
Powerful Real-Time Data Evaluation and Reliable Anomaly Detection
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most is the powerful real-time data evaluation. I rely on the machine learning features for anomaly detection, which I find invaluable. Rather than manually searching for error patterns or unusual traffic spikes, these tools enable us to validate CI/CD deployments in production with confidence, knowing that any regression will be detected immediately.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the downsides is that managing collectors in dynamic environments such as Kubernetes demands ongoing maintenance. Additionally, although the dashboards serve their monitoring purpose, they lack the flexibility and visual sophistication found in dedicated visualization tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to Sumo Logic, we've been able to resolve the issue of dispersed telemetry data. It brings together logs, metrics, and traces onto one unified platform. This consolidation has helped us reduce our mean time to detect (MTTD) by automatically correlating events, which has enabled me to shift from a reactive stance to a more proactive approach in monitoring and managing reliability.
Outstanding Multi-Cloud Visibility and Insightful Event Correlation
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how it enables me to correlate events and organize them into Insights, which really helps me concentrate on more detailed analysis. Additionally, the multi-cloud visibility is outstanding, especially since we operate across multiple cloud environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Up to now, I haven't been satisfied with how the rules can be customized, particularly when it comes to automatic detection.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sumo Logic enables a shift from a reactive, slow incident response approach to a more proactive threat hunting strategy. I have found it valuable due to its advanced capabilities, which are well-suited for modern environments and help speed up the entire incident response process.
