Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward.""We receive infrastructure security warnings from it. So, we know what is going on and what needs to be addressed.""It has the ability to install agents. It is pretty straightforward. You can automate the process pretty easily.""The quicker implementation of changes to our infrastructure from Alert Logic tell us if there are any problems.""Notifications and the detail of notifications are most valuable. It is a user-friendly solution.""Everything is in one dashboard; I'm notified when there's an incident and advised on what steps to take.""The installation and configuration were slick.""The solution was consistently available, and I cannot recall any instances where it was down."

"It's straightforward in terms of configuration and troubleshooting and log management and monitoring as well. These are the edge points in addition to it being a modular solution where you can capitalize on your current licenses with extra licensing models, which can match the customer's business requirement and it can help the customer to design or to actually plan for their own roadmap.""The most valuable features are its data aggregation and the ability to automatically identify a number of threats, then suggest recommended actions upon them.""It is a solution that helps test and measure customer satisfaction.""The solution is definitely scalable.""The solution is extremely scalable. Our customers are regularly scaling up after installing Splunk.""Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried.""The most valuable feature is the ability to search through a large amount of data.""Because of some of the visualizations that we utilize, we are able to understand strange, unusual traffic on our networks."

Cons
"This product needs to mature more. While it is a good product, there are some areas where it needs work.""I would like to see it do initial scans and start capturing data, which it will truly analyze, not just be a reporting system saying, "Here is an email. Here is an email. Here is an email."""The product needs to mature. We don't want to be bombarded with unnecessary issues and have the real ones slip through.""We'd like to have triggered alerts sent to us so we see errors quicker.""I would like more data on the alert payload. It would be good to have the ability to customize the alert payload to add whatever data that we want on there. Right now, it is a bit limited.""Alert Logic needs to expand its SOCs to serve more markets, such as the Middle East and Asia. There should be infrastructure that covers more time zones. The company should also develop an EDR that is natively integrated into their solution. Currently, a client must buy another EDR solution like CrowdStrike or Sophos. I think Alert Logic is developing this. Built-in email security could also be developed and integrated.""Its menu is not very intuitive. I would like to see the user menu expanded a bit. The user menu is very layered, and because of the layers, you have to go down a path that is not very intuitive.""The documentation, especially with the initial setup, needs improvement."

More Alert Logic Cons →

"They should work to add more built-in correlation searches and more use cases based on worldwide customer experiences. They need more ready-made use cases.""It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud.""The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need.""I'm not aware of any lacking features.""We'd like the ability to do custom searches.""The solution is much more expensive than relative competitors like ArcSight or LogRhythm. It makes it hard to sell to customers sometimes.""The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization.""We want to have an automated system for bot hunting that enables us to detect anomalies predictively based on historical data. It would be helpful if Splunk included process mining as an alternative option. We have a threat workflow, but it would be useful if we could supplement that with some process mining capabilities over time."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Our ROI would probably be zero. We don't even use it. It sits in there. We get emails and just delete them. Around the world, we don't even use it."
  • "Alert Logic has better competitive pricing than some of its competitors."
  • "Almost any product that is on the AWS Marketplace is super easy to subscribe to."
  • "Its pricing is very reasonable considering what you get for what you pay. There is quite a good value there. Its licensing is also very logical. They've got the licensing price points at a reasonable level. It is on a monthly license but a yearly contract. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
  • "Price of the solution was very reasonable considering the size of our organization at the time, and so it worked out perfectly."
  • More Alert Logic Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I hope we can increase the free license to be more than 5 gig a day. This would help people who want to introduce a POC or a demo license for the solution."
  • "My biggest complaint is the way they do pricing... You can never know the pricing for next year. Every single time you adjust to something new, the price goes up. It's impossible to truly budget for it. It goes up constantly."
  • "There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
  • "The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
  • "Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
  • "I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
