We performed a comparison between Alert Logic and Cisco Secure Network Analytics 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."Everything is in one dashboard; I'm notified when there's an incident and advised on what steps to take."
"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."
"It is a very stable product."
"It has the ability to install agents. It is pretty straightforward. You can automate the process pretty easily."
"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 was consistently available, and I cannot recall any instances where it was down."
"The installation and configuration were slick."
"The solution reduces the amount of time it takes to detect and remediate threats."
"StealthWatch lets me see the ports running in and out and the country. It has excellent reporting, telemetry, and artificial intelligence features. With the telemetry, I can set thresholds to detect sudden changes and the alarms go through the PLC parts. I can see all the ports running on that trunk."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"It works efficiently for encrypted traffic analysis."
"Being able to identify specific date closed across the network is invaluable."
"There are already many functionalities, so I don't think there is anything to improve."
"It is a good application, providing for real-time monitoring of the organization of data. It can basically identify points of peak traffic where possible issues are being caused."
"Stealthwatch has greatly improved our network visibility, in terms of bandwidth, malware, and PCI violations."
"This product needs to mature more. While it is a good product, there are some areas where it needs work."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The product needs to mature. We don't want to be bombarded with unnecessary issues and have the real ones slip through."
"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.""
"We haven't seen ROI."
"It would be better to let people know, up front, that is doesn't give you nice, clear information, as seen in the demos, without Cisco ISE installed."
"Some of our customers find this solution to be a little bit tough because they don't understand how to configure and use it."
"The initial setup is complex, as there is a lot to configure."
"The visualization could be improved, the GUI is not the best."
"The initial setup was straightforward but required a lot of data entry, to begin with building out the server types and network types."
"There's a lot of traffic on our network that we don't see sometimes."
"Initially, I felt Cisco Secure Network Analytics lacked integration with Splunk."
