Alert Logic Other Advice

We are using the latest version of the solution at the moment. I do not have the version number on-hand, however.

I would recommend the solution to other organizations. It's been a positive experience for us overall.

I would caution that, in the beginning, people who are first-time users, will find it a bit complicated. They will easily learn quickly once they started using that. It's a very easy process to get habituated to. 

I've been a production support engineer for the past 10 years. In only the last three years I've been using Alert Logic. Previously, I have faced a lot of problems finding the logs. This solution helps me a lot. There are so many times it's helped to identify the root cause - and quickly.

Overall, I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

The solution was user-friendly, and I would rate it an eight out of ten. Our company needed one or two individuals to maintain the solution, which was not difficult and required minimal maintenance. Overall, I would rate the product a seven and a half to eight out of ten.

I recommend setting up Alert Logic and being ready for a complete migration rather than trying to retrofit it. If you plan to incorporate Alert Logic into your environment, it would be best to do so during a refresh cycle when everything is pre-done, and you don't have to go back and install appliances and allow rules. Doing it during a refresh cycle would likely be easier, saving you time and resources.

The site seemed to be the main issue during the deployment process. Despite that, I found Alert Logic to be great with everything they had to offer. There were just a few minor critiques, but they were related to the site. Overall, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

My advice would be to go ahead with the product because it really is a very good tool that adds a lot of value. I would also recommend that the person implementing the product should have a very good working knowledge of IT infrastructure. I would say that IT infrastructure is more of a requirement than a background in IT security, and it certainly makes the process a lot more straightforward.

The biggest lesson that I have learned from using Alert Logic is that for the amount of money invested in the product, the sense of security and the tightness that it gives to the environment is a real selling point for clients.

I would rate Alert Logic a nine out of ten.

Give it a try. It is very useful.

The product is integrated with a product called BigPanda. It's an alerting platform, and it post alerts through SAP to BigPanda. The integration was good, but standard.

We have only used the AWS version.

Know what the product does and how to integrate it with your stuff before actually jumping into it. Compare other products which are doing the same exact thing, see what your company can do and what your company needs, and what your requirements are, then make the decision after that.

We have been moving away from Alert Logic for awhile now.

We only use the AWS version.

If someone one was looking at this product or similar solutions, I will tell them, "Find something else."

They have a great concept, but the product needs to mature. We don't want to be bombarded with unnecessary issues and have the real ones slip through.

We use the product on-premise.
