Overview
Sumo Logic is a SaaS log analytics company that sells Cloud SIEM alongside log management and observability products. Francisco Partners completed its acquisition of Sumo Logic on 12 May 2023, taking the previously listed company private[22]. Sumo Logic states that it is trusted by more than 2,500 customers worldwide[21].
Cloud SIEM normalises and enriches telemetry at ingestion, maps detections to MITRE ATT&CK, groups related signals into insights to reduce noise, and includes UEBA baselining and automation for response[26]. Sumo Logic has also introduced DojoAI agents that act as teammates for security and observability work[21].
Pricing is unusual. Under the Flex model, Sumo Logic charges for analytics scans rather than ingestion, advertising zero-cost data ingest with unlimited users, and estimates costs per TB scanned according to usage profile[21]. Customers can buy credits by card up to US$25,000 from a self-serve checkout during trial, and an Essentials plan targets small and medium DevOps and SecOps teams, with the Enterprise Suite sold by sales[21]. The model favours teams that store much and query little; heavy analytical workloads may cost more than ingestion-based alternatives.
