Why is Sumo Logic a better alternative than New Relic?

The more complex application architectures get, the more teams need to work together to deliver reliable and secure apps. Give all your users easy access to unified security and observability. Monitor, troubleshoot and secure your apps and infrastructure from a single SaaS analytics platform.

Don't let expensive per-seat licensing hold your real-time insights hostage!

Sumo Logic New Relic
Unified observability and security solution
Show details

Sumo Logic offers scalable log analytics, observability, SIEM and SOAR from one platform, helping DevSecOps and SRE teams get real-time insights to uncover and troubleshoot issues quickly.


New Relic’s strength is application performance monitoring (APM); they lack integrations with security vendors and don’t support security use cases.

Full-stack observability powered by logs
Show details

Sumo Logic and New Relic both address performance metrics, events and distributed transaction tracing. But no company matches Sumo Logic's ability to manage and analyze logs at scale.

Unlike New Relic, Sumo Logic centralizes log collection and applies machine learning to identify issues quickly, using analytics schema to address unparsed logs.

Advanced troubleshooting across all telemetry
Show details

Powerful and flexible Sumo Logic Search Query Language allows searches across structured and unstructured data from metrics and traces to logs to deliver a better customer experience.

New Relic requires all log data to be pre-parsed to derive intelligence, with limited out-of-the-box connectors – and no pre-built dashboards for visualization.

Resilient & fault-tolerant with global scale
Show details

Sumo Logic’s cloud-native, multi-tenant, microservices architecture ensures its platform is resilient and fault-tolerant, with data residency in North America (United States and Canada), Europe (Ireland and Germany) and Asia (Australia, India and Japan).

New Relic only recently moved to the cloud, challenging its resiliency and uptime. Its data residency is limited to North America (United States) and Europe (Germany).

Flexible licensing
Show details

Sumo Logic allows users to manage data economically at any scale, giving users complete control to determine how much and what data to analyze, what type of access to data is needed, and for how long.

New Relic has a data ingest plus an expensive per-seat licensing model. Moreover, moving from their Standard Plan (limited to five full platform users) to a Pro or Enterprise Plan will significantly increase licensing costs.

Unlimited users
Show details

Sumo Logic offers unlimited user licenses meaning organizations don’t have to restrict access to their analytics platform.

New Relic’s per-user licensing is a disincentive for widespread adoption and restricts access, limits visibility and impedes collaboration.

Security use cases
Show details

Sumo Logic supports foundational security analytics, multiple sophisticated security use cases, and APM and observability use cases.

New Relic focuses on APM and observability and does not have security offerings.

Security analytics + SIEM + SOAR

Comprehensive certifications and attestations
Show details

Sumo Logic’s compliance-ready solution comes standard with key attestations and security features, such as encryption-at-rest at no additional cost.

With the New Relic platform compliance varies greatly by service and comes at an additional cost. It does not support PCI.

SOC 2 Type 2, PCI DSS 3.2, Privacy Shield, CSA Star & HIPAA certifications, FedRAMP-Moderate Authorized

Not PCI compliant.

FedRAMP & HIPAA require a “Data Plus” plan and cannot be used across all features.


Ingest all your telemetry into one place

"We’ve just started a DevSecOps journey. The first part of that was to centralize our DevOps capability and then add security to that. Sumo, I definitely see as one of the enablers to that. Everybody working from the same set of information, from the same interface in a like-minded way.
