We have had satisfactory experience, but the interface is somewhat sluggish and inadequate as compared to the other platforms we introduce but have not achieved the results, which is why we choose SumoLogic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's a virtual task control panel. It's extraordinarily navigable and has a user interface. Sumo Logic offers essentially extendable Rest API in admiration of factors like log sources, queries, dashboard information and font preferences. Sumo Logic is readily suitable for most cloud vendors. You are able to usually contact client support and fix issues in time that is due, in case you cannot progress at any stage. Sumo Logic supports excellent AWS too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If we were to adjust the online converter to local conditions, Sumo would be more substantial. Furthermore, there's simply no choice to continuously update the submission of yours. Besides, Sumo Logic is impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With numerous integration ports as well as configurable agents SumoLogic creates setup of log aggregations very simple and fast. It's relatively simple, however, you are able to easily review logs from various and distributed methods working with the query language. It's essential in a world of micro services for logs from each working app as well as dependency to monitor process health and also debug problems. Sumo tends to make gathering logs from a lot of systems a short time, whether through installed agencies or rSyslog. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wouldn't expect a business product to control alerting. We've lots of people that sign in and make alerts and the sole method to centralise them is usually to share them all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sumo handles large sets of data easily and as very simple and intuitive parsing. You can parse just about anything so you can always get the type of data you need using basic parsing that is similar to SQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The searches are slow and data is not stored in cold storage for long periods unless you get a more costly plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tools and functions allow us to carry out supervision and accelerate the delivery of modern applications, in addition to being able to solve any inconvenience or problem in real time, this allows us to have a stable and reliable security system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Our experience has been satisfactory, however the interface is a bit deficient and slow compared to other platforms that we implement, however we did not obtain results with them and for this reason we opted to use sumo logic. If they improve this, our productivity could really increase significantly and thus perform a faster, smoother and quality work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Automated analysis of your uploaded logs is just fast and probably the best. Monitoring and graphing tools are doing their job best too. Beautiful software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
User interface and experience need some sort of a rework, there is too much things on the screen and it doesn't look too good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With Sumo Logic, you can enter your data, keeping it safe no matter what. The graphic interface is simple and easy to understand. With some great features and better than other similar monitoring tools, Sumo Logic can answer most monitoring questions, Sumo Logic is easy to find and export and is compatible with SAML, so manual testing of user accounts can be done regularly and in the shortest time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When Sumo Logic agents look for errors that can't be logged, there is no other clear way to see what the problem is than to search deep inside the file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sumo Logic has really blown me away with what the product has to offer out of the box. We have like 6 servers and we used to monitor each of them separately by running scripts on each of them for the services they hosted. But since Sumo Logic has come into the picture, We have merged all our log stream on the cloud to Sumo logic and have customized scripts running to filter out any service which fails or times out due to any reason.
We have a dashboard setup and it keeps track of all the services which are running on the different servers like the number of hits the service got, the response time, service fails, etc. We have a team dedicated to reading the Sumo Logic’s machine data analytics work. It provides you with great value insights which can be very useful in real-time.
JSON field formatting is found to be very useful because many of the services are based on the REST platform these days. The ability to filter the logs based on timestamp, service name or a specific period of time is extremely useful because it saves us a lot of time by not having to go through all the logs from top to bottom.
The fact that it is cloud-based makes it the most viable solution available in the market because it means that it can be accessed from anywhere and everywhere at any time. You just need access to the internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The thing which I'll like to better in this product is the ability to write complex queries. The syntax and logic to write complex queries inside the tool take a lot of time and technical know-how.
The retrieval of archived files is really a tough task because it the file size is big and has been archived quite a long back then there is a good chance that the connection might get broken or the screen may freeze.
It takes time for new real-time logs to appear on the screen or dashboard which may be a problem if we are dealing with very high volume and production crticial services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sumo Logic is based on the SAAS model. It has made logging quite interactive and easy process. It has gained a lot of reputation in the market and is used by top leading MNC's. I have used Sumo logic to aggregate my logs coming from 5 different farm servers and merging them into a single stream of logs which has considerably reduced by time and effort of monitoring 5 different farm servers.
Sumo Logic can support custom-written script in PowerShell and python. It makes the job very easy when you are getting filtered logs rather than raw logs. They can give you precise information about what is going on with which service and at what timestamp did the issue occur.
The dashboards are also top-notch and provide you with a lot of information in a single view. You can run custom queries on complex logs and get meaningful results which makes it very useful in real-time issue analysis.
It is a fully supported tool and I have real-time access to the support team or engineers who have developed this tool and then can help you with any and every query or issue that you have regarding the tool. The training provided is also at the excellent and you get to know the overall working and some of the advanced features of the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The tool performs its job very well, but there is quite a steep learning curve before you can start taking advantage of the advanced features and optimizations which the tool has to offer.
The querying is relatively tough and you need to brush up your skills in order to write complex and useful queries.
The GUI can be improved upon and make a lot easier and cleaner with only the required options in a single view and not everything put in from t of you which you are not even aware or probably would never use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
SumoLogic design allows for a great deal of context and functions. It provides continuous technology enhancement in all fields trained by PCI / DSS. The most secure route is to efficiently diagnose your computers to prevent any failure to avoid any unpredictable issues to happen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If you are searching for big information collections or longer intervals, it can result on very poor customer environment decision-making and poor asset leadership performance. If you primarily build in-house apps and use SumoLogic, designers may request for more helpful and clearer information, as it's something hard to interpret. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With Sumo Logic we are sure we can input our data and it will remain safe no matter what. The GUI is simple and straightforward. It has several great functionalities that makes it superior to most other similar monitoring tools. Sumo Logic offers a response to most monitoring questions. In Sumo Logic it's very easy to search and export and with the SAML compatibility, we can do periodically manual user account tests in a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When Sumo Logic operatives track errors which cannot be recorded, there is no a transparent way for seeing there is problem, except if you deeply search for it in the records, which takes a lot of time and tends to be very cumbersome and it’s probable to mistakes, as it has to be done manually. Sumo Logic does have symbols for functional agents, which works as to show the state checkmark of source hosts, but most of those sources are not fully compatible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It allows consumers to set up and update the interface with setup tools, specially Puppet. With the latest updates, most improvements to the website and the REST API have been made. It works great on reports, tracking and visuals. If you wish to register a message every time an end-user logs in and clicks a certain button, it will be permissible to record this particular information until it does, and which version of the browser is registered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In contrast to the space limitations decided in the agreement, when you uninstall a Sumo Logic user account, as your passwords are designed to accommodate a certain number of user accounts, all the research that they have generated for the device (tables, planned scans, warnings, documents, etc.) are all unfinished and unchangeable. Often, contacting the customer support is very hard as messages you sent may never be responded. You would need to wait for someone to contact you if you want to solve an issue. Also, the Purging of Log Data in the website can be very hard, I think this is for security purposes, but I would like it to improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sumo Logic has allowed our team to document in real time our CDN in the form of compact files delivered once every few hours. The customers of our business found it quite easy to detect obsolete collection, scan and review data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In comparison with Splunk, Sumo Logic runs very slow. Also, it only saves details for a period of time, so it is easier to save the documents somewhere in an existing repository, as Sumo does not retain the information anymore when you apply to an entry which had been recorded months ago. Also, the data you receive from Sumo Logic must be extracted in the entire time period for your intent. And, it is possible some profiles can be deleted by accident, which means the person who does it must carry all the responsibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has a virtual panel for real-time tracking of activities. It is highly navigable and has a very simple user interface. In terms of aspects such as log sources, font preferences, dashboard information and queries, Sumo Logic provides a rather extensible REST API. Also, Sumo Logic integrates easily with most cloud providers. If you can't advance at some point, you can always contact customer support and to solve any problem right on time. Sumo Logic also supports AWS, which is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sumo Logic would be better if we could change the converter from the internet to the regional settings. Also, there is no option available to refresh your request continuously. Other than that, Sumo Logic is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really like the functions that this software has, for example: the options of flitro of registers that this tool has is very good, as well as the option of dragging a specific time range in the function of visualization of registers and being able to see the records in that time range is really useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I do not like that after having used it some time and have stored information. If at some time you need to look for some old information the software makes the search very slow, this can be a bit frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is a log management software that can help you to understand your logs in a better way and conclude actionable results from them. We have started using the tool around 3-4 years back and from that time, we are enjoying the benefits of the same. It has helped us enormously to reduce our workload by merging logs from different servers into a single log stream which can be viewed in a dashboard on Sumo logic giving all the important details in a single screen view.
The Search functionality is really helpful and also saves you a lot of time because you can write customized search queries based on the service name, error codes, and timestamp, etc. We don't monitor 5-6 servers independently for issues now, we just monitor the Sumo logic dashboard and we get all the information in a single place. The integration with alerting tools is also very neat and useful because you can set a particular message to be sent to the alerting tool consisting of the service name, error message and timestamp and server name where it occurred. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The problem I faced with Sumo Logic is query formation. Writing simple queries is not a problem but when they get more and more complex and include more filters, then it becomes cumbersome and we don't get the appropriate response which we were expecting for that query as well. The second problem that I faced was that retrieving the log files which were archived or very old was also an issue because it took a lot of time and even sometimes after loading for so much tie, it would just timeout and throw an error.

I really like that the data obtained can be analyzed with great ease, the way to organize them is perfect, you have many high-level options configured, this allows even a beginner to work safely and easily. The training they provide is really good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only thing I do not like about Sumo Logic is the delay that there is to show new records, no matter how much the page is updated many times you have to wait between 5 and 10 minutes, this tends to be a bit frustrating, but otherwise it is perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has a clear and organized interface, is easy to implement and also integrates with AWS and Microsoft Azure. I like it because it increases the visibility of the infrastructure. The set of data collected and analyzed in Sumo Logic allows us to identify and predict failures, in addition to monitoring the performance and security of our applications.
Also knowledge base is broad and facilitates software deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sumo Logic deliver excellent results, no complaints regarding its functionality. However, I think its price is high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like being able to query on the logs and create dashboards based on the queries. Create alerts based on the queries and get notified via email.
Integrate with OpsGenie and send alerts when we see high number of issues.
Ingest load balncer S3 logs to see trends and patterns. Ability to export the results in excel sheet for sharing with others. Sharable search results.
Analyze log and keep track of usage to reduce spending.
Geolocate requests on load balancer and create custom dashboards to view them.
Good documentation on various Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Limitation on number of tab's that can be opened. I have lot of saved searches and i keep them open. If i want to open a new tab i have issue due to the limitation.
Can get expensive after crossing daily logging limit of 3000GB.
Takes time for new logs to showup in Sumo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I live the live metrics the best. We have them integrated into our internal dashboards and it's extremely useful. I have worked with Splunk in the past, and while they provide the same out of the box log aggregation tools, Sumo logic's UX is far better. I have been able to solve complex issues, and create embedded queries for live dashboards. I know Sumo logic is cloud native and built around cloud usage. This means integrations are smoother, particularly when it comes to platforms such as AWS; scalability is built-in, there is no need for constant updates, and getting started is quicker and easier than with Splunk. Another cool feature is its ability to establish baselines and actively notify you when key metrics change after an event, such as a new software version rollout or network breach attempt. I had an error where a process was stuck in a retry loop, creating 50 times the logs created in a healthy process. This change went into our test environment on a Friday and came to light only after the alert email from Sumologic asking if this was expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I keep being asked to login twice, the first time the login fails, the second time it succeeds (same passwords as the first time). This is a super annoying problem, and everyone across the app comes across the same thing. Sumo Logic also lacks some of the extended features of Splunk, particularly when it comes to the Splunk Enterprise offering. Sumo Logic’s speeds when searching older data is really slow, and the UX completely bogs down during the search. Sumo logic is also a bit more on the on the expensive side.
