We performed a comparison between Microsoft Sentinel and Sumo Logic Security 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 most valuable feature is the onboarding of the workloads. You can see all that has been onboarded in your account on the dashboards."
"I like the KQL query. It simplifies getting data from the table and seeing the logs. All you need to know are the table names. It's quite easy to build use cases by using KQL."
"The most valuable feature is the UEBA. It's very easy for a security operations analyst. It has a one-touch analysis where you can search for a particular entity, and you can get a complete overview of that entity or user."
"The log query feature has been the most valuable because it's very good. You can put your data on the cloud and run queues from Sentinel. It will do it all very fast. I love that I don't have to upload it to an Excel file and then manually look for a piece of information. Sentinel is much faster and is good for big databases."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because unlike legacy SIEMs that were on-premises, it does not require as much maintenance."
"The UI-based analytics are excellent."
"In Azure Sentinel, we have found, they do have a store in their capability. AI and intelligence features. We found that to be very helpful for us because some other things we do need to integrate again or find another vendor for the store"
"The log analysis is excellent; it can predict what can or will happen regarding use patterns and vulnerabilities."
"Sumo Logic is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"The solution is quite stable."
"With this tool, we provide access to every developer team the ability to find errors, then they come to us and ask for specific help."
"The most valuable features of Sumo Logic Security are the rules, use cases, and ease of use. Additionally, the integration is straightforward and good GUI."
"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
"Technical support is always great."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"Sentinel could improve its ticketing and management. A few customers I have worked with liked to take the data created in Sentinel. You can make some basic efforts around that, but the customers wanted to push it to a third-party system so they could set up a proper ticketing management system, like ServiceNow, Jira, etc."
"Improvement-wise, I would like to see more integration with third-party solutions or old-school antivirus products that have some kind of logging capability. I wouldn't mind having that exposed within Sentinel. We do have situations where certain companies have bought licensing or have made an investment in a product, and that product will be there for the next two or three years. To be able to view information from those legacy products would be great. We can then better leverage the Sentinel solution and its capabilities."
"Documentation is the main thing that could be improved. In terms of product usage, the documentation is pretty good, but I'd like a lot more documentation on Kusto Query Language."
"For certain vendors, some of the data that Microsoft Sentinel captures is redacted due to privacy reasons."
"It could have a better API to be able to automate many things more extensively and get more extensive data and more expensive deployment possibilities. It can gain some points on the automation part and the integration part. The API is very limited, and I would like to see it extended a bit more."
"We'd like also a better ticketing system, which is older."
"If you're looking to use canned queries, the interface could be a little more straightforward. It's not immediately intuitive regarding how you use it. You have to take a canned query and paste it into an operational box and then you hit a button... They could improve the ease of deploying these queries."
"The on-prem log sources still require a lot of development."
"There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."
"The API integration in Sumo Logic Security could improve. There are delayed connections or they stop and then automatically start. Having a seamless log collection would be beneficial."
"I would like to see improvement in the user experience when configuring things, ingesting logs, and creating ports."
"The initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it."
"The dashboard has room for improvement, because sometimes it is a difficult to create a specific dashboard or query. This would be a nice place to correct problems."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless."
"In my opinion, this solution has a steep learning curve and requires practice if users to be able to use this tool very efficiently."
