Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Notifications and the detail of notifications are most valuable. It is a user-friendly solution.""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.""The quicker implementation of changes to our infrastructure from Alert Logic tell us if there are any problems.""The solution was consistently available, and I cannot recall any instances where it was down.""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 initial setup is pretty straightforward.""Everything is in one dashboard; I'm notified when there's an incident and advised on what steps to take."

"The most valuable feature is the integrity.""Its reporting features are great. It gives you an in-depth report. Its customization is also great, and it is working fine.""File monitoring is the most valuable feature of the solution.""What's most valuable in Tripwire Enterprise is the ability to execute custom COCR rules that lets me fine-tune how I monitor Linux and Windows agents.""Even if you change a single word in Notepad, it will let you know whether it was added, removed, or modified.""We use Tripwire Enterprise as a tool to test the vulnerability of a network. That is the most valuable feature of the product for us.""The most valuable feature is integrity management. I had some discussions with service providers, and they also agreed.""The product supports different platforms."

Cons
"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 setup process was complex.""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."""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.""We'd like to have triggered alerts sent to us so we see errors quicker.""The product needs to mature. We don't want to be bombarded with unnecessary issues and have the real ones slip through.""As a user involved with the user interface, I believe there is a need to continue improving it based on feedback from our customers."

More Alert Logic Cons →

"The initial setup is complex.""An area for improvement in Tripwire Enterprise is stability, as my company had stability issues with the last few versions of the solution. Tripwire Enterprise has been a bit buggy.""The Windows online integration license needs to be improved.""Cloud monitoring could be better. It would also be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model.""It needs more local support from the OEM side. It would be great if this can be improved.""The main way that it can be improved is through better reporting.""A lot of network devices need a custom integration.""The deployment with certain systems can be difficult and it needs to be simplified."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "Its pricing is very reasonable considering what you get for what you pay. There is quite a good value there. Its licensing is also very logical. They've got the licensing price points at a reasonable level. It is on a monthly license but a yearly contract. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
  • "Price of the solution was very reasonable considering the size of our organization at the time, and so it worked out perfectly."
  • More Alert Logic Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The licensing depends on the equipment, how many devices and the types of devices."
  • "Cloud monitoring could be better. It could also be cheaper. It would be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."
  • "Tripwire is more expensive than Netwrix."
