We performed a comparison between Alert Logic and Cisco NGIPS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution was consistently available, and I cannot recall any instances where it was down."
"The quicker implementation of changes to our infrastructure from Alert Logic tell us if there are any problems."
"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."
"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 installation and configuration were slick."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"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 solution gives us a lot of visibility into our security."
"Its ease of use and its ability to block and allow ports in and out of our organization are the most valuable features. It works very well. It gives us all the information that we need."
"The tracking intelligence feature is very good. This solution provides us with the opportunity to detect threats in real-time."
"I configured the system myself and the process was okay."
"I like Firepower's automation, and the security intelligence is a powerful feature."
"The most valuable features of Cisco NGIPS are the VPN, IPS, access policy management, EIM, and the ASA model as part of Firepower."
"I have found the filter and the antivirus to be most valuable."
"We are satisfied with the technical support."
"The setup process was complex."
"The product needs to mature. We don't want to be bombarded with unnecessary issues and have the real ones slip through."
"The documentation, especially with the initial setup, needs improvement."
"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."
"Could be more of an endpoint protector."
"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."
"As a user involved with the user interface, I believe there is a need to continue improving it based on feedback from our customers."
"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.""
"I would like to see a more user-friendly interface."
"The SSL decrypt could be improved, but it's normal. All the devices in our platform need a lot of memory or CPU to do the SSL decrypt. This is an issue to improve in all platforms, not only in Cisco."
"I'd like to see some cloud management. Cisco maybe already has it, however, my company doesn't use it as cloud management."
"The CLI, the console line interface, of the FTD could be improved. It's very complex, so without a GUI, it doesn't work well. I would like it to be more simple."
"The GUI user interface could be improved and the login is not very user friendly."
"The pricing is very expensive. They should make their equipment more affordable."
"I think the part of IPS and everything else needs to be better equated to the real needs or current needs of the business compared to the other manufacturer, because it is not straightforward, a way to configure it compared to the other competitors."
"The stability of the user console and some features could be easier to access."
