We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Everything is in one dashboard; I'm notified when there's an incident and advised on what steps to take.""It is a very stable product.""We receive infrastructure security warnings from it. So, we know what is going on and what needs to be addressed.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward.""It has the ability to install agents. It is pretty straightforward. You can automate the process pretty easily.""It improves our security. Before, we didn't have anything scanning our containers. We had software scanning all the physical servers, but we had nothing to scan our containers. With Alert Logic, we can do that.""The most valuable aspect of Alert Logic is its technology platform. They have SOCs in the US and Europe, giving them global visibility of the threat landscape. They detect and respond to threats in minutes. Their biggest value is human expertise. You're being attacked by a human, and you cannot respond to it unless you have a human on the other side. They have the human and technological resources to respond.""The quicker implementation of changes to our infrastructure from Alert Logic tell us if there are any problems."

"We are currently using the URL filtering feature, which is the most popular.""The most valuable features are that it's user-friendly, has interesting features, URL filtering, and threat prevention.""The most valuable features are the simplicity, transparency, and overall ease of management.""The initial setup was straightforward. It's quite easy. Deployment took one to two weeks.""I like the solution's interface.""It's very easy to use and configure. What is nice about Palo Alto is that even if you don't understand how to use it, you can just click on upload and upload everything that needs to be blocked.""The application control and vulnerability protection are the most valuable features.""Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention is the market leader as far as security gateways and endpoint protection. Additionally, the threat database that is used is one of the best."

Cons
"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.""Could be more of an endpoint protector.""The setup process was complex.""They have ideas and email you whatever they find, but they don't have a dedicated security team who will work on an attack or a specific security instance.""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."""This product needs to mature more. While it is a good product, there are some areas where it needs work.""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."

"Palo Alto's maintenance needs to be improved.""The organization mail security solutions could be improved. There is no mail security solution available.""In Africa, the technical support is probably not as good as in Europe and the USA because it's a specific premium support, partner-enabled premium support and all of that. But it's really good, I don't really have any complaints, it's fairly good. I'll give them 80%.""I think they can use some improvement on FID.""We are attempting to improve the use of URL filtering beyond threat protection.""The documentation needs to be improved. I need better information about how to configure it and what the best practices are.""The technology firewall anomaly network could stand improvement.""Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention could improve the commercial offing. Other solutions, such as Fortinet provide better commercial features."

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 →

  • "The pricing and the licensing are pretty competitive at this stage. As a reseller, I would like to see the price come down a little bit so I can compete better against other firewalls because we do that all the time."
  • "It's not too expensive."
  • "It is an expensive solution and I would like to see a drop in price."
  • "If you want to have all of the good features then you have to pay extra for licensing."

  • "The pricing could be lower."
  • "Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention could improve by having consistent pricing at system levels."
