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."Notifications and the detail of notifications are most valuable. It is a user-friendly solution."
"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."
"It has the ability to install agents. It is pretty straightforward. You can automate the process pretty easily."
"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."
"The solution was consistently available, and I cannot recall any instances where it was down."
"The installation and configuration were slick."
"It is a very stable product."
"The most valuable feature is endpoint protection."
"I'm able to transfer data over internet network security. With the GRE I'm able to transfer data within one bunch to another bunch in a public way, like the internet. The communication is encrypted and is private. It gives me added privacy."
"The VPN was valuable for us because more people are working from home. It has a lot of reporting and easy-to-use management tools."
"The most valuable features are DNS service and shell self-service within a network."
"Cisco IOS Security is very robust and works very well."
"We are able to filter a lot of traffic especially when a lot of the traffic is in layer 7."
"Previously, anyone in the organization would see any data point in the wall. They could just go and connect their machine with that data point and could access the network. But now, even if someone came and tried that, they will not be given access."
"I've found their network routing to be very good."
"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."
"As a user involved with the user interface, I believe there is a need to continue improving it based on feedback from our customers."
"Could be more of an endpoint protector."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The configuration and reporting interfaces need a lot of improvement. It needs to be more accessible forsolide without a strong technical background. If you had a simplified dashboard, the lower-level techs could manage the solution and provide services. Cisco IOS Security requires someone who is highly trained to operate it."
"The pricing is the only con for this product."
"Cisco very slowly introduces and implements the products, unlike other brands."
"The product's technical support services need improvement."
"I would like upgrading iOS to be a bit easier."
"The configuration should be easier in the solution."
"Cisco IOS Security's monitoring is rather rudimentary and could be improved."
"Cisco is an expensive firewall, so the pricing can be improved."
