Alert Logic Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you have a web platform or any other exposed system, it's important to have an IDS in place. This can be difficult to do right, and if you're a smaller business, you can't have a team dedicated to managing security. Alert Logic takes that burden, makes sure it's working right, and allows your team to focus on your product. With that in mind, it's not a silver bullet, and I took off one point ONLY because I think it would be harder to justify in a large enterprise with a security team already in place. Maybe there's another product out there that'll solve that use case, but Alert Logic was perfect for our needs.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Alert Logic Network Threat Detection to augment our on-premise staff who are engaged in other duties. The service was fairly easy to implement, and management of the product was quite easy. We would get a call anytime we were seeing attacks of any type, usually 2-3 times a week for something more than a script kiddie trying to probe our network defenses. In conjunction with Akamai, who we use for WAF functionality, the Alert Logic product was a solid companion.

Likelihood to Recommend

Appropriate use case: When you don't have enough FTE resources to manage outside network threats and need someone to augment your own staff. The team at Alert Logic is nothing short of fantastic, and incredibly responsive.

Inappropriate use case: If you're wanting a fully managed solution that also does IPS. This solution should be used in tandem with some other type of solution to be fully effective.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

Just to know within a reasonable time when an incident occurred compared to the logrhythm user setup, hoping you setup correctly, is a big help. Another was the cost benefit and the 24x7 monitoring was a driving factor for us. How the alert is provided is impressive. It can give you a detailed from start to finish of how the attack happened, the path it took and how it was prevented.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

When you start to learn the software, it looks like it is so complicated and unknown, but after that, you realize that it is not actually as hard as you think. You just need to give more attention to the program and you can understand easily how to use it. At some point, vulnerabilities cannot be solved so, in this case, you may have some concern if something is happening in the system or not, but actually, there is nothing happening.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

This is pretty good AV product - lightweight, easy to install, and easy on system resources. It will take some getting used to on the end user side, it doesn't scan in a traditional way, and it does not have a taskbar icon so it hard to know if it's working or installed. My only complaint would be the false positives which I know every AV system has, but the problem with Barkly is that it alerts the users with a message (which they freak out about) and it alerts IT with an email. Again, not a major issue, but it can be annoying until it is overridden. The override process is super easy though, so its again, not a big deal.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is being used to manage websites hosted internally and to manage those sites on a day to day basis. The web security manager includes the ability to check the status of sites, conduct log review and analysis as well as protection of sites from web-born attacks (SQL injection, cross-site scripting and redirect attacks etc.

Likelihood to Recommend

<ul><li>Great at web-based attack protection.</li><li> Easy to add sites within a few minutes once familiar with the interface and process.</li></ul>

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Alert Logic Log Correlation and Analysis across our suite of AWS cloud based services which supports over 10,000 users in a health care setting. For us, it provides the right level of security information and event management to protect our assets from current cyber threats. It also provides business assurance around information security and allows us to understand potential risks and deal with them.

Likelihood to Recommend

Alert Logic is ideally placed to support and protect cloud infrastructure and services such as AWS hosted services. It is less appropriate for platform as a service as this would be addressed by the provider in question. It would also be ideally suited to on-premise and hybrid cloud scenarios to protect services from attacks and breaches.
