We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
The installation and configuration were slick. We receive infrastructure security warnings from it. So, we know what is going on and what needs to be addressed. It has the ability to install agents. It is pretty straightforward. You can automate the process pretty easily. It is a very stable product. 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. | This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled. The solution is definitely scalable. The most valuable features are the indexing and powerful search features. The solution is extremely scalable. Our customers are regularly scaling up after installing Splunk. It's straightforward in terms of configuration and troubleshooting and log management and monitoring as well. These are the edge points in addition to it being a modular solution where you can capitalize on your current licenses with extra licensing models, which can match the customer's business requirement and it can help the customer to design or to actually plan for their own roadmap. The most valuable feature is being able to take data and put it into other systems so that we could see the output, and to see where we need to apply our focus. Because of some of the visualizations that we utilize, we are able to understand strange, unusual traffic on our networks. The most valuable features are its data aggregation and the ability to automatically identify a number of threats, then suggest recommended actions upon them. |
Cons | |
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. 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." 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. 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 ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need. In the future I would like to see simplified statistics and analytical threats. The correlation engine should have persistent and definable rules. They should work to add more built-in correlation searches and more use cases based on worldwide customer experiences. They need more ready-made use cases. The solution is much more expensive than relative competitors like ArcSight or LogRhythm. It makes it hard to sell to customers sometimes. The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization. It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud. There are occasional bugs. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
Alert Logic has better competitive pricing than some of its competitors. Almost any product that is on the AWS Marketplace is super easy to subscribe to. Our ROI would probably be zero. We don't even use it. It sits in there. We get emails and just delete them. Around the world, we don't even use it. | Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage. The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars. There are additional costs associated with the integrator. My biggest complaint is the way they do pricing... You can never know the pricing for next year. Every single time you adjust to something new, the price goes up. It's impossible to truly budget for it. It goes up constantly. I hope we can increase the free license to be more than 5 gig a day. This would help people who want to introduce a POC or a demo license for the solution. |
