The logical choice for premium IDS
This is the IDS solution for our SaaS platform. Everything that's connected to our application in any way is being monitored by Alert Logic to identify rogue actors or other ill behavior on the network.
- Customer Service. Usually, I'd put the technical details up front, and they're good with that too. But the service from pre-sales all the way through onboarding and continued account management is top tier. Our onboarding schedule got messed up, partly because of us, but that was rather minor. I always get prompt replies to any tickets, and they've even reached out to discuss my feature requests. When it comes to security, it's critical to have a responsive team, and they've got it.
- Detection seems good. It's hard to quantify exactly, but it seems that they always detect the bad actors. And when we get an alert, they include a bunch of details so we know what kind of scan they're trying to do, how far they got, etc. You can't prevent everyone from doing a scan on your IP, but it gives you a really good idea of where your soft spots might be. And if you're getting those low-level alerts, it's a reminder that it's there and working if you have a major event too.
- Very easy setup. This goes back to their customer support to some extent, as they walk you through all the steps required. But it's also about their technical solution, it's not so overly complex that it's fragile, nor does it take a great deal of time to deploy. And it's been zero effort to maintain since then.
- Diffie-Hellman cipher is not supported. This is the way of the future, and I'd prefer to ONLY use DH or EDH. But I understand the complication of PFS, and hopefully, they're working on supporting this in the future.
- Price. You can't get all this good stuff for free. But we've tried the "budget solution" before, and it either just doesn't work well, or requires an incredible amount of administration. If you have a large security team, you might be better off with a cheaper option. For us, we're paying more for a product and saving a bit on in house labor.
- Hard to think of any other cons! There were some UI issues at first, but I know they've added some good features, and more were in development last we spoke. Some of their reporting could be improved a bit, but that's getting pretty picky. Unless you have a really specific need, these things won't be any more than a minor nuisance.
- It's hard to put a price on security. But rather than dollars directly, I believe it has helped our business reputation, first that having an IDS solution in place helps put customers at ease, but also by maintaining that reputation by blocking damaging activity.
- Their team has also been good support and saved us from having to invest in specific skills in house. We pay more for the solution so it's probably not a huge cost savings, but a big savings in the headache of finding staff, managing staff turnover, etc.
No one else had a good product offering married with the high level of support. The cheaper options such as Alien Vault all seemed to have inferior products and little/no support. And the really big enterprise products might work great, but require a great deal of skills to set up and maintain. Alert Logic pretty much fits in a category to itself.

Alert Logic, The Cloud Alternative
Previously we used Logrhythm to collect syslogs on an on primus server. Logrhythm is/was very convoluted and almost required a dedicated person to manage the system. Alert Logic is a cloud managed service that removed the need for an on primus dedicated person to constantly review logs and determine if there was an issue. The main users of this is our security team.
- The cloud managed service; the cost benefit and 24x7 monitoring
- The Alert system went from possibly 24 hours to 1 hour
- The benefit of nothing having to write our own queries
- The interface is a little lacking from a search perspective but its not really meant for us to have to do the work
- The cloud service vs have an on prim dedicated person
- 24x7 monitoring
- The detailed threat analysis
If anyone has ever used Cisco products to manage threat detection they will tell you that, while Cisco products are good, they aren't the most user friendly. Multiple pieces are needed to do what Alert Logic can do in one product. The user interface is ok and the search function isn't the best but the whole point of cloud manage is just that.

This software is unlike other secure programs !
Alert Logic Cloud Insight is a different type of security program, unlike others. I was using this software for my AWS environment for myself, and then my organization wanted to use this software after my recommendation. Now my company is using this software.Thanks to this software you can gain deep insight into your AWS environment with the ability to monitoring of environments changes with its intelligence. It has many features that you can do whatever you want like changing policy, allowing third-party sign in etc.This program is right now providing us 24/7 security especially from many hack-attacks.
- It has a really intelligent system that it can realize any illegal activities from the outside.
- It can be designed by you. Whatever you want, you can do or change anything that you made before.
- High security 24/7. Just feeling safe.
- I would like to see voice assistance when I am creating new things for my environment
- When you are creating an external ID, it has some delay at times.
- I think the price is too expensive. I would like to have a decreased price.
- It is pretty complicated to understand for beginner levels when you start to use it.
- The product is really secure and reliable for any organization.
- Best side of this software is that it is not like other security programs. Unlike them, this software is stronger and has 24/7 security.
I was using Alert Logic Insight for myself to improve my skills and ability to it. My organization was not happy using our previous website security program so I recommended for them to use this software. It has been more than 1 year and still, they are using this program without having any problem so far.

Barkly is an AV to help protect against future nastiness
Barkly is our primary end-user and server anti-virus program. We use this company-wide, for all end-users. This helps our end users protect against virus, malware and the like and it also alerts me to any issues that may arise on my network.
- Stops programs from making changes to users' system - this can be hit or miss, but I'd rather have a false positive and have to override it, then a virus on my systems.
- The override system for false positives is very simple and easy to use - if a program throws up a flag, it is very easy to tell Barkly to leave it alone and it will do this network-wide, which is nice for things like updates.
- Very lightweight, small install and leaves almost no footprint on your system. Also system resource utilization is very light.
- There is no visible icon that it is installed unless you go into Add/Remove programs, locally you would not know its there.
- If an update is installed (i.e. Windows Update) and Barkly flags it, you will get SPAMMed with alerts until it is overridden. An easy fix but can be annoying if you are on your way in and not at the office yet.
- Reporting is a bit lit in the Admin console - installs, and updates, but not much else.
- Getting better, but when they update their product, there wasn't much warning originally. A bit unsettling when you log into your console and see every one of your end users out-of-date.
- Decently priced for AVs
- Has protected against several viruses, and that right there is enough to warrant purchase, any virus stopped is money saved
- Low impact on users, so they aren't complaining of slowness on their computers when scanning (it does not scan traditionally)
- Trend Micro and Sophos Endpoint Protection
I've found Barkly to be much better than these products at protecting my systems. It does not require the horsepower that these do to run. It uses systems resources well. It protects well. It alerts and updates well. This is a good AV system to have on your endpoints and is a sound financial investment if you are looking to protect your assets from virus/malware/ransomware.
