  • Sumo Logic contends that with data expanding exponentially, managing vast volumes of structured and unstructured data, including siloed information, leads to security visibility gaps and escalates data storage and governance expenses.
  • Flex Licensing presents a straightforward, transparent pricing structure, billing solely for data storage and analytics without concealed monthly fees, feature constraints, performance compromises, or user restrictions.

Data analytics software firm Sumo Logic Inc. recently unveiled Sumo Logic’s Flex Licensing, a novel log analytics pricing model providing free, unrestricted log data ingestion. This empowers developers, security, and operations teams to capture and analyze crucial data enterprise-wide.

According to the company, this novel pricing approach eliminates a frequent cost obstacle in analytics, enabling customers to fully leverage their expanding data volumes. It facilitates data-driven decision-making and innovation acceleration, ensuring seamless visibility without any gaps.

Sumo Logic contends that with data expanding exponentially, managing vast volumes of structured and unstructured data, including siloed information, leads to security visibility gaps and escalates data storage and governance expenses. The surge in data poses challenges for organizations in harnessing business insights crucial for delivering reliable, secure digital experiences and scaling artificial intelligence and machine learning endeavors.

Sumo Logic’s log analytics platform centralizes, stores, and analyzes business-critical data, streamlining operations by eliminating silos between development, security, and operations. Flex Licensing eliminates data ingest costs in the Sumo Logic platform, enabling businesses to leverage enterprise-wide data for insights and DevSecOps initiatives without limitations.

Chief Executive Joe Kim said, “As data continues to grow exponentially, many log management vendors are adjusting their pricing models to adapt to this growth. The problem is that these models are still based on the same limiting parameters of data ingest or compute restriction.”

Kin also mentioned that “Sumo Logic is the first to introduce a disruptive approach by associating cost with the actual value of the platform — the analytics,” permitting log analytics to develop into “a powerful single source of truth across Dev, Sec and Ops.”

Organizations acquire comprehensive access to Sumo Logic’s SaaS Log Analytics Platform through Flex Licensing. This platform grants them absolute visibility into their systems and applications.

The platform and Flex Licensing offer several advantages, one of which is the elimination of cost restrictions linked to pricing models that rely on data ingest rather than logs. This obviates the necessity for development, security, and operations teams to selectively determine which tools to utilize and which data to aggregate.

Flex Licensing presents a straightforward, transparent pricing structure, billing solely for data storage and analytics without concealed monthly fees, feature constraints, performance compromises, or user restrictions. The latest pricing model empowers organizations to readily deploy machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities to address operational and security hurdles. This entails providing developers, operations, and security teams with a unified source of truth and surfacing high-fidelity insights.

Additional features encompass unified log analytics tailored for DevSecOps. This facilitates the ingestion of all structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data, enabling teams to conduct analytics using Sumo Logic’s AI-driven log analytics platform. Teams can dismantle silos, consolidate tools, and amplify DevSecOps transformations.

Sumo Logic’s Flex Licensing is now accessible to new Sumo Logic customers, with plans to extend it to existing customers later this year.
