Sumologic user review
What do you like best about the product?
I love their visualizations and the easy integration with our AWS Account.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the fact that they do not provide recommendations on best practices. However, may be that is not their scope but it would be nice to have it along.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides us the centralized monitoring of our environment. Helps track inbound and outbound traffic.

Centralized and democratized logging is essential for a software team
What do you like best about the product?
From the start the Sales team was very good at understanding their product and getting a solutions architect on board early to help you understand the best ways of getting information from your logs. They are open to lots of dialog and willing to make sure you are in a good place to succeed.
The ingestion tools are fairly simple and for us we defaulted most to the HTTP ingestion endpoint.
Parsing is very robust and extracting fields from your logs can be done a number of different ways.
The log-metrics ability was a real winner for us as we have a number of items that log metric information but aren't spitting them out as actual metrics endpoints. This basically allows you to do any custom metrics in a log line to work with.
The query language is fairly robust and allows for things like joins, subqueries, aggregation and log reduction and time comparisons.

What do you dislike about the product?
As with any of these tools you must really understand their standard query language. It takes a little to get used to and you need to think through how to use it all.
I also would have expected more ways of ingesting the data to be built out. Things like common tools that would have been used.
The content library has taken me a little to get used to because even though my user has access to everything I still have to switch to the content administrator view to move things to root level folders.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the initial calls with the Sales team seriously and setup an ingestion as soon as possible to get the most value out of those conversations.
Reasonably priced log aggregation + metrics
What do you like best about the product?
SumoLogic has all the features (and then some) that SMBs would need to complete log aggregation across infrastructure. Additionally, there are many pre-built search/parsing formats for common data types (like AWS access logs) that are very handy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes dashboards and search interfaces don't have the latest logs and can take some time to get there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Log aggregation for server/application management across services.
Nice SIEM for small business

1- user friendly
2- ease to use
3- straight forward simple configuration

What do you dislike about the product?

3- had hard time to ingest logs from some unsupported log sources

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primarily use it as a SIEM to manage client environment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Run sample long queries and ensure required log sources are supported.
not a great experience
What do you like best about the product?
is similarity to script with and query with to splunk
What do you dislike about the product?
Splunk is vastly more expensive however the speed and ease of use and the rate queries are returned is much better on splunk vs sumo.
In the end the cost saving was negated by hours lost hence why we opted to switch back

Very powerful log management tool with a bit of a learning curve
What do you like best about the product?
I've only used the Log Management solution provided by Sumo Logic, so this review is based on that.
It's a very powerful tool where you can query logs in pretty much any way you can imagine. Our service had very high log traffic across many services. Sumo logic was able to keep up, and we could query logs in a variety of ways.

What do you dislike about the product?
It has a pretty steep learning curve. The query language is pretty solid, but it takes some time to figure it out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When debugging an error or series of events someone performed, sumo logic logs would make it easy to query the relevant logs and follow what went on. We could also query logs for usage stats and pretty much anything we could imagine.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you give it a good try. It's very powerful.
Best in class searching in application Logs

1. The time to execute queries is very less
2. UI is cool. Its easy to do daily tasks

Sumo Logic monitoring review
What do you like best about the product?
it is very simple to use, it looks almost like a mobile App, I like how simple it is to configure your dashboard,
and it gives you real-time metrics on our servers, also the incoming alerts are very easy to configure.
the dashboard allows to filter timeframes for every running job and not like other software where the time filter refreshes the entire dashboard

What do you dislike about the product?
I think the customer service part still has room to improve, I've been on a long hold trying to reach someone on their hotline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Day to Day monitoring, it is a reliable source of metrics and real-time monitoring on your infrastructure
Powerful log analysis tool
What do you like best about the product?
Fairly easy to use and very powerful. It's hard to imagine doing production support without a tool like this.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it was cheaper so we could ingest more logs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's great for diagnosing production issues by examining and correlating logs. It's also good for alerting based on criteria.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely worth considering as a cheaper alternative to Splunk and a more feature-rich solution versus open source (E.g. ELK).
Cloud logging tool
What do you like best about the product?
I don’t have to worry about the infra piece
What do you dislike about the product?
They can add more security and its features. Also more complex options are expected. Still lagging behind SIEM tool
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Issue troubleshooting and monitoring
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have SIEM, the ease of infra
