Cisco SecureX vs. Logz.io

This is perfect for organisations with small or limited security teams who want to get more from their Cisco and third-party investments. With Secure Endpoint makes detecting and responding to threats much easier. Any organisation looking to overhaul its security infrastructure or even wrap around its cloud-first strategy with solutions such as Intune should seriously look at Cisco’s suite of products. I’ve implemented Secure Endpoint, Umbrella, and Duo for customers primarily using Intune for device management, and the cool new insight features in Cisco SecureX really help with visibility over their estate.

Logz.io is an effective solution if your alerting needs are fairly straightforward and you don't need long-term retention of logs with easy access. If being able to maintain easy access to logs longer than this is necessary, another solution might be better. If you need a high degree of precision with alerting triggers and the ability to suppress alerts, you will need to combine Logz.io with an integration to get this or you might consider a different solution.

• So the product enables end users to get visibility into their security environment, not only across the Cisco products but across the third-party products as well. The product also automates detection and response. So the product really offers end-user efficiency in the security operations center.

• Well documented and easy to set up.
• Their alerting mechanism is really great especially when it comes to application monitoring.
• Our data analysis in Kibana is made easy with the solution for Logz.io.
• The issue checking and fixing is escalated quickly and is reported in time.

• Of course, many companies prefer to obtain security from the cloud; however, not all of them prefer it, which is why having a local implementation would allow these companies to also use said software as their ally for their security.
• Working with this software can be simple, that is, any threat can be visualized with greater precision, but when it comes to managing its orchestration, it is a bit complex.
• Its integration with other software can be simple but with others it is not, that is why it would be ideal if all of them could be carried out in the same way.
• Integrating with a larger number of third party software would be of great help, to further enhance the analysis and detection of threats.

• Its price can be very high, so you should have good control of it to avoid exaggerated figures.
• Some functions can be confusing.
• It has limits to create subaccounts, which is a big problem for large companies.

Really easy to use and ship the logs Good customer support Easy integration with the modules

I initially struggled trying to ensure the correct data was returned in the Kibana search, but I found it overall easy to use. Some of the UI is not as seamless as I'd expect, like changing the environment completely resets your search criteria and filters, which is annoying since it's a common use case to search something in multiple environments

Their support team is the best in the world! They supported us in most of the critical times and helped to resolve the issue in real time. Also their email support is well maintained and never a mail is missed unanswered. Kudos to the support team of logz.io for maintaining professionalism.

Implementation of logzio is easy. Exporting the logs with filebeat agent is our main key source.

A lot of the look and feel of both products is quite similar. There's several best practices on visualization that are followed in both and integration of common telemetry is comfortable and quick. But while Microsoft ATP offers deep insights into mostly the Microsoft environment and a limited view into other common sources, SecureX shines in all the non-client areas Microsoft's product seems lackluster in.

Logz.io is more affordable, less work to maintain, and has more features. It was an easy choice. After my last team had to manage their own ELK stack, this was a no brainer. It helps us be focused on our core competencies.

• It helps us easily Id the full extent of a threat
• It saves time searching for data.
• It only gives basic info I wish there was greater integration between all security offerings
• It allows other techs to pick up where you left off.

• about the investment, this tool is helping in our day to day activities
• easy to troubleshoot the errors
• simple and powerful
