In June, Sumo Logic expanded its platform with an improved contextual and intuitive user interface as well as improved content sharing for with role-based access (RBAC) controls.

“Real-time machine data analytics is the only way digital businesses can experience the continuous intelligence needed to drive their continuous innovation processes,” Sayar said. “We’re excited to deliver a powerful and unified machine data analytics platform that democratizes machine data and unlocks the full data intelligence potential of modern applications and infrastructures.”
