We performed a comparison between Sumo Logic Security and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is quite stable."
"We use it to ingest Windows domain controller logs. We use this to monitor if anyone is placed in particular administration groups that potentially shouldn't be. It helps us keep track of people."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
"The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."
"Sumo Logic is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos."
"It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
"The solution allows you to configure and customize how you want to collect information from servers or other systems."
"I like being able to use proxy servers for different locations. The agents are pretty cool. They're easy to roll out. The standard out-of-the-box templates are also pretty easy to use. The integration with other learning products is also good. I have, in the past, used Slack, but we've integrated it with Microsoft Teams. We also use it for SMS with a service called Redcoat. It is very flexible. It does what I need it to do, and my manager is very happy because it doesn't cost anything. We are nearing 4,000 hosts inside Zabbix, and we've got another 6,000 access points to add to it. We've thrown everything at it, and it has managed to keep going. I am very impressed with the tool, and I'd shake their hand very hard if I got to say the compliments to the Zabbix team. They keep improving it and doing refreshes, which is one good thing about it. There is also online information as well as books that you can purchase if you're willing to read enough. There is a lot to pick up, but it is a pretty complete solution."
"I'm supervising all the IT departments, and Zabbix seems quite good for them. It provides graphics and information in real time. We get alerts about crashes on the system, enabling us to quickly repair issues. We can easily find devices with problems."
"The most valuable feature is service assurance."
"The solution's design has recently changed and it is visually pleasing with more color, for example, there is blue, black, and white."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"Health and communication links availability."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"It would be nice to have an improved ability to scroll through logs within a time frame. Right now, we can search for specific errors. However, if we want to look for "before and after" within a specific time frame, it's not easy using the tool. This would be an improvement."
"The solution should improve its UI."
"There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."
"If you look at some of the other offerings right now that are available in the market, they do offer APM as well as the product they're offering. I believe Sumo Logic is not there yet. So that's something which I would love to see."
"We would like to have some type of predefined setup for the logs, making the setup easier by default."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"It took a bit of trial and error to get it set up correctly based on everything we had to do. In the end, we had to send everything over HTTP, which was sort of a stop-gap."
"The GUI could be more intuitive. Also, we'd like streaming telemetry. Zabbix might have this feature, but I haven't seen it yet. It took us a long time to get started because the documentation isn't very descriptive. We had to go through various sources like YouTube and forums to get this solution working."
"The System Center Operations Manager can be improved."
"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."
"If Zabbix had a better dashboard then it would be nice."
"I would like to see a more flexible mobile client, and better HA out of the box."
"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."
"The user web interface is a little bit too basic, we need to link Zabbix to Grafana to have more options, such as graphs and charts. The interface needs to be improved. Additionally, there could be better integration with Grafana API."
"Look and feel."
