We have used other solutions, such as Splunk, and in comparison, this solution is very user-friendly and there is less confusion when you are using the app. It's faster. You can configure more than 100 nodes and you'll get all the speed and accuracy you need.

Like any other tool that can process large amounts of data, Alert Logic allows me to feed it with a lot of data. What sets Alert Logic apart is its cloud-based and GUI-focused approach. While I still have on-premises appliances, I can remotely monitor everything from the cloud, and Alert Logic's ease-of-access features have helped me streamline my workflow and reduce implementation time.

The lead database administrator felt that there was a need to have a particular port open for the application to communicate and gather data effectively. That particular DBA and I were not in agreement over the potential risk of this open port. With the use of Alert Logic, I was able to prove factually that having that port open was a great risk. Because of it, we eventually closed the port and changed the design of the app.

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.

Alert Logic offers total visibility into the client's IT ecosystem. The solution's intrusion detection system inspects 100 percent of the network packets and installs universal agents on all physical and virtual servers for log collection. Alert Logic also aggregates logs of the client's various 3rd Party security tools into a single pane of glass. 

All of the analytics from those data feeds got to a 24/7 SOC with sophisticated resources. Alert Logic has massive threat intelligence resources to provide additional context to the incident response declarations. They do all the heavy lifting for clients who lack the technology and resources to operate their own SOC. 

The client is solely responsible for the incident response component. The macro analytics resides on Alert Logic's cloud. You have the ECM response and business application team on the client side.

Everything works in tandem, which is the only way you can deal with the advanced threats we face today, especially the ransomware families. If you don't respond in minutes, you're in trouble.

Our organization's issue is that we implemented it and kicked the tires, but we never put an administrator behind it to own it and do a whole lot for it. There were a couple of select cases that we found and acted on those alerts. However, for the most part, it's just a climbing number of alerts with nobody touching them.

We needed a better plan for implantation. If we put something out there, we have to have people lined up to look at it and admin it, then reap the benefits of everything it's telling us to act on it. If you're not doing this, you have good intentions, but you fell short.

The quicker implementation of changes to our infrastructure from Alert Logic tell us if there are any problems.
