For organizations that want a single source of truth, Sumo Logic can reduce your investment in analytics tools and provide visibility across your entire stack. Sumo Logic is a cloud-native platform powered by logs for multiple use cases, including APM and observability and security applications that span security analytics, SIEM and SOAR. Our flexible licensing model helps customers like The Pokemon Company, SAP and Alaska Airlines ingest massive amounts of machine data to quickly derive insights cost-effectively — without limiting users or use cases.
New Relic is an APM-focused solution that cannot support unstructured data (all its data must be pre-parsed, limiting visibility); it only recently moved to the cloud causing ongoing uptime challenges; and does not support security use cases. Expensive user-based licensing limits widespread monitoring and use, impeding the collaboration required to build, run, secure and manage modern applications.
