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."It is a very stable product."
"Everything is in one dashboard; I'm notified when there's an incident and advised on what steps to take."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The solution was consistently available, and I cannot recall any instances where it was down."
"The installation and configuration were slick."
"The quicker implementation of changes to our infrastructure from Alert Logic tell us if there are any problems."
"Notifications and the detail of notifications are most valuable. It is a user-friendly solution."
"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 most valuable feature of this solution is its modularity, so whenever you need to upgrade or add another service, you don't need to buy another box."
"It is salable and technically sound."
"Cisco NGIPS is a stable tool...The technical support provided by Cisco NGIPS is okay."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The features that I find most valuable are the DDoS protection, IPS/IDS, and Firepower for web application filtering."
"The traffic filter of this solution is very valuable to us, and to our clients."
"We primarily use this solution as an application filter and for IPS."
"I like Firepower's automation, and the security intelligence is a powerful feature."
"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."
"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."
"We'd like to have triggered alerts sent to us so we see errors quicker."
"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."
"The documentation, especially with the initial setup, needs improvement."
"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."
"Cisco can do better on their documentation because the product is really hard to understand."
"The look and feel of the console could be updated."
"We have a separate management controller for Cisco NGIPS. If they have not done it already they should integrate Cisco NGIPS with the Cloud Portal."
"The price could be improved."
"I would like to see Cisco NGIPS to include home office support in one single product."
"The stability needs improvement so is rated a four out of ten."
"The biggest problem with most Cisco products is that the interface is lagging behind the competition. The user interface could be updated and improved."
"The inclusion of bandwidth management features would improve this product."
