We performed a comparison between Graylog and Sumo Logic Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."It is used as a log manager/SIEM. It provides visibility into the infrastructure and security related events."
"Message forwarding through the in-built module."
"Storing logs in Elasticsearch means log retrieval is extremely fast, and full text search is available by default."
"One of the most valuable features is that you are able to do a very detailed search through the log messages in the overview."
"UDP is a fast and lightweight protocol, perfect for sending large volumes of logs with minimal overhead."
"Real-time UDP/GELF logging and full text-based searching."
"This had increased productivity for the dev and support teams, because we are directly notifying them."
"Everything stands out as valuable, including the fact that I can quantify and qualify the logs, create pipelines and process the logs in any way I like, and create charts or data maps."
"It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view."
"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."
"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."
"The features I found valuable with the Sumo Logic Security solution are the search option and the ability to customize the search for the information in the logs."
"We can integrate threat intelligence solutions into the product."
"It provides easy visibility. I also like the shareable queries because we share a lot across groups."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
"Since container orchestration systems are popular and Graylog fits the niche well, perhaps they could officially support running in docker containers on Kubernetes as a StatefulSet as a use case. That way, the declarative nature of Kubernetes config files would document their best case deployment scenario-"
"There should be some user groups and an auto sign-in feature."
"I would like to see some kind of visualization included in Graylog."
"More customization is always useful."
"I would like to see a default dashboard widget that shows the topology of the clusters defined for the graylog install."
"Graylog needs to improve their authentication. Also, the fact that Graylog displays logs from the top down is just ridiculous."
"Its scalability gets complicated when we have to update or edit multiple nodes."
"It would be great if Graylog could provide a better Python package in order to make it easier to use for the Python community."
"The solution should improve its UI."
"We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"From the network segmentation side, there is some discrepancy in log onboarding. The tool needs to improve direct API integrations, login integration, native login integration, etc."
"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."
"Sumo Logic Security is expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"The initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it."
"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."
