Sumologic provides flexibility to dump logs from our existing log modules and get the data directly to sumologic. We can have data in tags etc.

Time to market: - Because Sumologic is a SAAS product, I don't need to run an ELK stack or manage any logging / storage infrastructure. - Because Sumologic is a supported product, I have full access to a team of engineers who wrote the software and to customer success engineers to help leverage the all the features and debug mistakes - Because Sumologic stores the raw logs, I can always refine and clean up the data in ad-hoc queries over historical data - Because of the flexible query language, I can iterate on a data pipeline in minutes instead of hours or days (I'm looking at you DataFlow) Taken as a whole, these features make it possible to quickly build out and iterate on complex log data. Because Sumologic holds the raw logs (not just metrics), its always possible to clean the data in a way that would not be possible using only

I like being able to easily search and correlate data across all our various log files. The query functionality is quite advanced compared to what is available when grepping log files at the command line.
