Migrate to
Falcon Next-Gen SIEM.
Vijilan's managed migration program moves you from Sumo Logic to CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM with zero visibility loss. Escape ingestion-based pricing. Deploy 150× faster search. Keep 24/7 SOC coverage throughout.

CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM
Index-free · 150× faster · Native XDR · Charlotte AI
Sumo Logic was taken private and continues to drift toward observability over security. Credit-based pricing creates the same visibility/budget tradeoff as per-GB models.
Credit pricing punishes visibility
Sumo Logic's credit-based ingestion pricing forces teams to filter logs to control costs, creating dangerous blind spots.
Observability roadmap, not security
Sumo Logic prioritizes observability features. Security customers find themselves a secondary persona on a platform tuned for the other side.
Index architecture doesn't scale
Sumo Logic's index-based architecture slows at scale. Falcon Next-Gen SIEM's index-free design delivers 150x faster search while processing 1PB+ daily.
Limited native security ecosystem
Cloud SIEM and Cloud SOAR are separate products with separate license envelopes. Falcon Next-Gen SIEM ships unified.
No native EDR/XDR
Sumo Logic relies on third-party EDR feeds. Falcon Next-Gen SIEM is integrated with Falcon Insight XDR natively.
Cloud-only
Sumo Logic is cloud-only, which limits options for regulated industries requiring on-prem residency. Falcon Next-Gen SIEM offers cloud, on-prem and hybrid.
Sumo Logic vs. Falcon Next-Gen SIEM.
| Capability | Sumo Logic | Vijilan + Falcon NG-SIEM |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing Model | Credit-based ingestion | Predictable, index-free pricing |
| Search Speed | Index-based, slows at scale | 150x faster (index-free) |
| Storage Costs | Tiered retention adds up | 50% lower via Falcon Onum |
| Native XDR | None (third-party feeds) | Falcon XDR fully integrated |
| AI Investigation | Basic AI assistant | Charlotte AI: automated triage |
| Streaming Ingest | Scheduled searches | Real-time streaming |
| EDR Integration | Third-party required | Native Falcon Insight XDR |
| Identity Protection | Not available | Falcon Identity Protection native |
| SOAR | Cloud SOAR (separate) | Falcon Fusion SOAR (native) |
| Deployment | Cloud-only (SaaS) | Cloud, on-prem, hybrid |
| Managed Service | DIY or third-party | Vijilan 24/7 managed SOC |
A 7-step Sumo Logic migration.
Zero visibility loss. Parallel-run validation. Rollback at every stage.
- 01
Discovery & Audit
Complete inventory of source data sources, saved searches, dashboards, alerts, compliance reports and custom apps. Map dependencies and identify optimization opportunities.
- 02
Architecture Design
Design target Falcon Next-Gen SIEM topology with a Falcon Onum or Cribl pipeline. Define parallel-run infrastructure, data routing and retention policies. Size for current and projected data volumes.
- 03
Pipeline Deployment
Deploy Cribl or Falcon Onum for dual-write. Data flows to both the old SIEM and Falcon Next-Gen SIEM simultaneously. No source reconfiguration required for most data types.
- 04
Detection Migration
Convert detection rules, correlation searches and scheduled reports to Falcon Next-Gen SIEM equivalents. Improve signal-to-noise ratio during conversion. Validate against historical incident data.
- 05
Parallel Run & Validation
Both SIEMs active and monitored 24/7 by the Vijilan SOC. Compare alerts, dashboard outputs and compliance reports side-by-side. Tune until output parity is confirmed.
- 06
Phased Cutover
Source-by-source cutover with rollback capability at every stage. High-priority sources first, then expand. The legacy SIEM remains accessible throughout for historical queries.
- 07
Optimization & Managed Ops
Tune detections, build new Falcon Next-Gen SIEM dashboards, enable Charlotte AI investigation workflows and transition to Vijilan 24/7 managed SOC operations.
Common questions.
Why move off Sumo Logic now?+
Sumo Logic's product direction is observability-first; security teams increasingly find themselves a secondary roadmap priority. Falcon Next-Gen SIEM is built security-first with native EDR/identity integration.
How long does a Sumo Logic to Falcon migration take?+
Typical migrations run 8-16 weeks with parallel-run validation, depending on the number of data sources and custom detection rules.
Can our detection rules be translated?+
Yes. The Discovery & Audit phase inventories your detection rules and we convert them. Charlotte AI assists during the transition.
Will we lose visibility during the migration?+
No. Parallel-run keeps both SIEMs hot. The Vijilan SOC monitors both until cutover. Rollback is available at every stage.
How much can we save by switching?+
Customers typically see 40-60% lower TCO through index-free pricing, native EDR/XDR consolidation and reduced data filtering.
Do we need to wait for our Sumo Logic contract to expire?+
No. Many partners begin migration while the existing renewal clock is running, eliminating overlap fees by cutover date.
