Better, in more ways than one

Explore the features of the BluSapphire solution as they compare with equivalent features in Sumo Logic

BluSapphire
Sumo Logic
Architecture
Open data platform with native threat detection functionalities and agentless architecture. Our Big Data lake enables seamless correlation and effortless log ingestion welcoming third-party solution management, making triage through the BluSapphire platform easy. With our multi-tenant architecture, cross-intelligence sharing becomes effortless. Discover our comprehensive in-house threat detection and response functionality.
The Sumo-Logic Platform is a cloud-native platform with an open and flexible architecture. It focuses on real-time data analytics but relies heavily on external solutions for advanced threat detection.
Deployment
Sensor, Log Collector - A simple VM or commodity hardware to ingest network traffic.No Firewall ports to open if outbound communication is open for all.Less than 2% of Network bandwidth consumption. BluSapphire's components do not sit in line hence, no risk of outage.
Sumo Logic’s cloud-based deployment ensures quick setup. Although, this setup relies on magenta to collect logs from various sources.
Detection
The Comprehensive One platform eliminates security operations silos by seamlessly integrating native threat detection components and consolidating third-party telemetry. With effortless triage capabilities, it incorporates Native Threat detection components built on NBAD, UEBA, EDR, Deception.
The platform primarily uses log-based detection using correction rules. It integrates well with third-party deception tools, however lacks native endpoint detection capabilities.
Advanced Analytics
The open platform enables seamless data ingestion from any third-party source. BluSapphire's data lake operates on an open schema, ensuring a consistent data structure across different onboarded sources. This common schema facilitates efficient data management and analysis, simplifying the handling of complex data. The horizontally scalable data lake allows unrestricted data ingestion, with no limits commercially on the number of queries or dashboards for analysis and problem-solving purposes.
Sumo Logic has a strong real-time analytics but lacks detailed threat analytics. Using log-based systems has its own capabilities although it has limitations when it comes to long-term retention.
Response
Response functions are distributed across various components including endpoints, networks, Active Directory (AD), third-party security, and network devices or applications. There are no restrictions when working with Third Party APIs to execute response functions. REST APIs are available to facilitate seamless data exchange with third-party systems.
The platform has limited response capabilities, and is primarily used for visibility and alerting. It integrates with external SOAR for automation.
XDR
The Hybrid XDR solution is built from the ground up with native components along with Third Party integrations,  providing a unified platform to detect malicious signals across cloud, endpoints, users, and networks. By significantly reducing false positives, it greatly enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of security operations.
It does not have native XDR but integrates well with third-party solutions.
Threat Hunt
Experience industry-first agent-less hunts directly on hosts. Eliminate the risk of overlooking any artifacts during hunt exercises. Execute hunts guided by the MITRE framework and hypotheses. Create and search for your own indicators/artifacts without limitations. BluSapphire offers meticulously curated threat intelligence from over 110+ sources. You are also free to consume threat intelligence of your choice. Effortlessly conduct hunts on data stored in your data lake.
It is limited to log-based hunting, and heavily relies on manual searches and rules-based hunting.
Remote Forensics
Can fetch remote forensics real time from computer devices while staying completely agentless enabling analysts for analysis and or build assurance.
No remote forensics capabilities
Managed Detection and Response
Powered by BluHawk team - offers you a dedicated Point of contact and access to professional analyst, threat hunters, Incident response teams.
Provides basic MDR services through partnerships but lacks depth in proactive response.
Unlimited Storage
Offers unlimited hot data storage. In Addition, BluSapphire offers flexibility in storing your data within your AWS S3 / Azure Blurb. Your data, your control at an affordable cost.
Log retention is tied to pricing tiers, limiting long-term storage capabilities.
Contract Flexibility
No Contacting anymore - no lock-in. Pay monthly, move on if you do not like.
It has the option of annual contracts with reneHas annual contracts with limited flexibility.wal commitments.
Time to Value
(Deployment + Tune + Ops Timeline)
Deployment closes in <48 hours, tune up & system operational in 3 days.
Although the platform has fast deployment, tuning and optimization can take weeks.
Interoperability
Open to work with any existing technology deployed within the organisation. With or without integration.
Supports integration with third-party solutions but has limitations with certain competitors.
TCO
Low, One platform offers you holistic coverage by identification of threat signals across user, network, cloud.
Moderate TCO with scaling costs as data volume increases.
ROI
