Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution aggregates all event streams, so that if there are any issues, it's all in the same interface.""LogDNA consolidates all logs into one place, which is super valuable."

More Mezmo Pros →

"It is my "security person" looking at irregularities and letting me know when something has occurred.""This solution can completely detect and prevent incidents on your network.""In terms of monitoring, my best feature would be the monitoring of components across the network. It monitors the respective nodes and any new node that comes onto the network and provides reports. The reporting dashboards are really helpful for management in terms of making decisions around patch management.""AlienVault's reporting is good. I like that vulnerability assessment is part of the solution, and the UI is intuitive. Also, the overhead is low, which is to say we don't need a dedicated SOC team to manage and analyze things constantly. We're a small company that doesn't have those resources.""It provides a single pane of glass view, coupled with a whole security ecosystem. The ability to manage everything from a central point, including vulnerability assessments, asset management - including the services provided by the various hosts, NIDS, HIDS, etc. - provides a very efficient way of dealing with things.""The solution has all the features that we need, however they do not work correctly.""Ease of deployment across various environments.""Using the communication within the security device, it is easier to create plugins."

Cons
"No ability to encapsulate a query or a filter, and communicate or share that among the team.""Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue."

More Mezmo Cons →

"It should be able to communicate with other security solutions to stop threats.""The GUI needs to improve because it's not user-friendly.""Maybe logs are the problem, as the database query is too slow. If you want to search something, you need time to find it.""We develop additional rules and scripts to make it more usable.""The reporting module could be a little easier to handle, as it requires quite some trial and error until you get the reports you want. Also, it would be great to have a graphical interface for the Network Intrusion Detection System's rule management.""Pay attention to false-positive event automatic correlations.""There are many reports included but would be nice to have better access to the data.""The vulnerability reporting needs to have options to be able to sort or customize the output."
