Has provided reliable alerts and helped identify infrastructure issues through detailed reporting

The best features of CrowdStrike Observability include the way they show issues to the client or agent, and their data collection method is interesting because they use an agent-less approach in some cases, collecting data from infrastructure such as firewalls. Additionally, they have the agent, but the presentation in the management console is excellent as we have observability end-to-end with the servers and all the services configured in the use cases. The intelligent alerting feature is excellent and configured on our console, being highly effective as it detects real alerts and just warnings or real issues. Identifying performance bottlenecks is important because they collect numerous MD5 or hash keys including movements or playbooks. The way they organize that in the console is excellent, allowing you to have reports detecting issues, which not only includes detection but also provides solutions to those issues.

Security insights have enabled faster incident response and streamlined cross-team collaboration

To improve Sumo Logic Security, I would appreciate the tool being easier to use from a search perspective. For example, we have a few teams that want to use the tool itself, but they are not as savvy when it comes to creating searches from the core platform. I understand that Mobot has come out and is in the works, and it really does assist non-savvy users when it comes to querying the platform. As far as that is concerned, I wish that could be improved a bit more, but I do know that that is in the works. I would add that I wish for improved documentation. For example, we are using Sumo Playbooks and automation integrations along with that, but I have found that there has been a lack of documentation, very little to none at all when it comes to that. With regards to automation integrations as well, there are very few details included in them. I would also appreciate the AWS automation integrations to be more secure because currently, they are using access keys, which involves a user rather than roles, which is the security best practice recommended by AWS. I chose eight out of ten because to make it a nine or ten, I would lean heavily on the documentation. A lot of the times when we get around to configuring things such as playbooks or trying to understand playbooks, what I found was that documentation sometimes is not up to date or documentation is lacking. There are instances also where some security best practices are not being followed. So, if we are able to set up an integration that is not only secure, following security best practices, and has complete documentation, I believe it would alleviate the issue of having to go back and forth with support to check the documentation and things of that nature. My impression of the built-in threat intelligence feature in Sumo Logic Security is that it is comprehensive, but I would say that it could do a little bit better. For example, we have the TAXI feeds, which is STIX and TAXI integrated into the core platform, but the issue I am running into is that I am able to use that feed into a CSE alert; however, I am not able to see the contents of that feed. If I integrate CISA, which we do have integrated, I cannot see what IOCs are in that feed in the core platform, and I hope that is the case because, in order for us to better tune our alerts, we need to be able to see what is in the contents of that threat intelligence feed.

More CrowdStrike Observability [EOL] pros

"Before Sumo Logic, we had to login to every server and verify each error log to determine the problem, and with this tool, we provide every developer team the ability to find errors, then they come to us and ask for specific help."

"Sumo Logic has absolutely improved our organization — 100% Sumo Logic is a great tool, it's absolutely necessary."

Cons

"The customer service is not satisfactory for me. The support is only available in English, and my users in LATAM regions such as Peru and Colombia require local language support, which is not currently provided."

"Integration with Huawei should be more straightforward."

"The pricing is very high and small companies cannot afford it. They should reduce the price because the backend infrastructure is the same."

"Technical support received a rating of 4 out of 10."

"The areas of CrowdStrike Observability that have room for improvement include the approach towards customer issues, where resolution takes time."

"We had some difficulties at the beginning, but at this moment they are improving, so probably in some months I will give them a ten."

"For reporting or log management, having a longer duration for backup without needing to purchase a paid subscription would be beneficial. Currently, there is a default ninety-day backup period."

"From the different deployments I have worked with, the shortcomings of CrowdStrike Observability are often because of what clients are able to share with CrowdStrike."

"There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."

"In my opinion, this solution has a steep learning curve and requires practice if users to be able to use this tool very efficiently."

"The solution should improve its UI."

"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."

"There are some API gaps that are missing."

"Some of the operations and security team members don't think Sumo Logic does as well as Splunk in their field."

"A lot of the times when we get around to configuring things such as playbooks or trying to understand playbooks, what I found was that documentation sometimes is not up to date or documentation is lacking."

"The pricing could be more competitive. Sumo Logic bills based on the amount of data that you ingest into their platform."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Storing logs in Sumo Logic Security is charged GB-wise, which is a little higher than other products."

"We chose to go through the AWS Marketplace because it makes it a lot easier when we bill our customers. Rather than having to get multiple different sources of information then correlate a monthly bill for our customers, it is just included in the AWS usage charges."

"If we went to ELK Stack, which is open source, it would have been less costly, but it would have required more development from our side."

"Purchasing Sumo Logic through the AWS Marketplace was a simple step."

"The pricing is a little high, but for the features that we receive from Sumo Logic, it suits the price. For some small organizations, the price might be a little high."

"Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."

"Purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace is very easy."

"The only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."
