Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"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."
"The solution is quite stable."
"Scalability has been good for our needs. We haven't run into any scaling issues in regards to size so far."
"We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
"For many of our services, we use Sumo Logic to track errors and send notifications to our Slack channel, if there are issues. Then, we have our support people monitoring this, and they can react quickly."
"One of the things I like about it is its interface. When it comes to generating reports on VMs and stuff, it's very quick. This is very handy for the technical team, who need to generate reports quickly. So that's really good."
"We use the on-premises version of this solution for log analysis and to find details about certain issues."
"The solution's simplicity, flexibility, and extensibility are valuable features as we can integrate everything in vRealize."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"vRealize Log Insight has been running without any issues."
"The root cause analysis feature is very valuable."
"The virtualization solution supports data center virtualization, network and security."
"The most valuable feature is server virtualization. It's been very useful."
"The solution should improve its UI."
"I would like better UI-driven functionality to create alerts and reports. Now, we have to understand the syntax, so it is a little difficult for someone to pick it up without using the manuals. If there was more of a graphical user interface, it would be beneficial."
"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 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."
"If you want to up your subscription through the AWS Marketplace, it can be difficult. You can't just go back to the AWS Marketplace, and say, "I want a bigger one now." You have to contact the sales team, then they do it on the back-end. This could definitely be improved."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"I would like to see improvement in the user experience when configuring things, ingesting logs, and creating ports."
"The solution isn't user-friendly for admins."
"The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring."
"They should improve their web interface to make it more user-friendly."
"I would like to see more tutorials or at least an introduction video from the supplier, so you can become proficient and get the most out of the solution. You might not get the full benefit from a logging or reporting solution because you might not have a particular tool enabled. You could leave something out of your analysis because you aren't aware of it or you don't know how to set it up."
"The tool is expensive."
"It needs better integration with third-party analytics tools."
"Log Insight should be better at dealing with audits and security logs. We use another product called QRadar for that."
"In the VMware environment, one area for improvement is the handling of VM failovers due to host failures, such as unexpected shutdowns from hardware issues. Currently, High Availability (HA) doesn't seem to recognize whether the VMs are online during failover, treating them as offline or unavailable."
