Query language and setup can be tricky for new users
Query language and setup can be tricky for new users
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Modern systems generate tons of logs across servers, apps, cloud services, containers, databases, etc. Sumo Logic collects all these in one place so you can search, analyze, and correlate events without juggling siloed log sources.
Exceptional Error Logging and Real-Time Alerting
What do you like best about the product?
Sumo is our first line of defense and insight. The best time is its deep error logging reporting mechanism with real time traces. It has proven to be a worthy alerting tool helping in detecting in issue before users escalate. The error logs gives meaningful insights in bug reporting.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UX feels clunky to me, also for a beginner can be difficult to get hold of things quickly. The queries differs from standard SQL hence requiring little extra efforts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Real time monitoring has alerting has proven to be very worthy ensuring critical issues are detected early. It has also helped me in finding root causes of underlying issues. Cloud SIEM has everything I need from security endpoint. Sumo dashboard helps significantly in our E-com sites monitoring any alarms. As a QA I rely heavily on sumo to find root cause associated with a basket id, ensuring better bug reporting.
Seamless SIEM with Comprehensive Data Retention
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of use of Sumo Logic and its ability to be thorough and complex with the code required to extract data. I appreciate the option to save our code as searches, enabling us to create multiple modules of necessary datasets. Additionally, the GUI facilitates easy navigation.
What do you dislike about the product?
There should be sets of code instead of having to write it, unless we are missing something. For example, pre populated data sets would be nice
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Sumo Logic for SIEM, data retention, and compliance. It extends our data retention past thirty days to months, aiding in pattern recognition, data isolation, and compliance discovery.

This platform has demonstrated itself to be exceptionally powerful and highly scalable. It provides comprehensive infrastructure visibility by centralizing logs and metrics that are essential for both security and operational needs. In addition, its advanced machine learning capabilities enable proactive anomaly detection, further enhancing its value.
Seamless Log Management with Powerful Analytics
What do you like best about the product?
I love how Sumo Logic seamlessly brings together powerful analytics with an incredibly user-friendly experience. The platform’s real-time search and visualization capabilities stand out for their ability to update dashboards instantly and alert tickets with minimal delays, even when dealing with massive volumes. I appreciate the optimized query language, which offers the flexibility of advanced analytics at a field level while still being approachable enough for new team members to pick up quickly. Another standout feature is the platform’s reliability and scalability; its performance remains consistent whether we’re ingesting a few gigabytes or terabytes of data. Additionally, the built-in integration with cloud services like AWS, Kubernetes, and security tools saves a huge amount of setup time. Overall, Sumo Logic feels like a twofold multiplier for both operational and security teams, enhancing efficiency and reducing the manual burden significantly.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Sumo Logic is a robust platform, there are a few areas needing improvement. During peak ingestion periods, the dashboard and search functions can slow down, especially when handling very large datasets or complex queries. Although the query language is powerful, it can initially seem challenging, and the learning curve for deep dive analysis is steeper than expected for new users. Additionally, managing ingestion volume and associated costs require careful tuning to prevent unexpected log spikes. More proactive recommendations or automatic optimization features could help maintain predictability. Furthermore, while integrations are generally effective, some newer cloud services demand more manual configuration than preferred.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Sumo Logic for centralized log management and security analysis, enabling real-time monitoring and anomaly detection. It consolidates fragmented logs, reduces downtime, and streamlines compliance reporting, significantly enhancing both operational efficiency and security posture across our cloud-native infrastructure.
