The initial setup isn't too difficult. It's pretty straightforward. An organization shouldn't have too much trouble with the setup. The deployment is very fast. It doesn't take too much time at all. It's likely less than five minutes. Honestly, it's almost instantaneous. There is no mapping. Once you're done with the customization you can use it. It's not time-consuming. The customization part is based on whatever keywords and attributes you are adding, and that's less than a minute of time to handle. There is no time consumed. You just need to add to a filter. You don't really need to worry about having too much maintenance. It's not required really. Maybe once the log is full, you may require a maintenance checkup of six months on. We have a server team that manages that aspect.

I have experience with setting up Alert Logic's appliances and feeding them the right data, modeling the system, and ensuring that the rest of the team can use it once it's up and running. The setup process was complex. We needed assistance from the Alert Logic team because the IT environment was spread out, and there were multiple teams involved. We had to work with a liaison between those teams to ensure that we could install everything correctly. We had to bring in the network teams, system administration teams, and other relevant teams to ensure that everything was properly set up, which made the process complex. The deployment process lasted for about two months. It took that long because we wanted to ensure that we tested the product fully in a developer environment before going forward with the actual deployment. In the deployment process, we had about fifteen to twenty people internally from our team, and the Alert Logic team was maybe about three to five. The setup process was somewhat lengthy and took longer than I would have preferred, so I would rate it a seven on a scale of one to ten, where ten is the best. However, I believe that the delay was caused more by our internal site issues than any shortcomings on the part of Alert Logic.

Vulnerability Management

Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

"The most valuable aspect of Alert Logic is its technology platform. They have SOCs in the US and Europe, giving them global visibility of the threat landscape. They detect and respond to threats in minutes. Their biggest value is human expertise. You're being attacked by a human, and you cannot respond to it unless you have a human on the other side. They have the human and technological resources to respond."
"The solution was consistently available, and I cannot recall any instances where it was down."
"While I still have on-premises appliances, I can remotely monitor everything from the cloud, and Alert Logic's ease-of-access features have helped me streamline my workflow and reduce implementation time."

Room for Improvement

"Alert Logic needs to expand its SOCs to serve more markets, such as the Middle East and Asia. There should be infrastructure that covers more time zones. The company should also develop an EDR that is natively integrated into their solution. Currently, a client must buy another EDR solution like CrowdStrike or Sophos. I think Alert Logic is developing this. Built-in email security could also be developed and integrated."
"As a user involved with the user interface, I believe there is a need to continue improving it based on feedback from our customers."
"The setup process was complex."

Pricing

"Price of the solution was very reasonable considering the size of our organization at the time, and so it worked out perfectly."
"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."
"Almost any product that is on the AWS Marketplace is super easy to subscribe to."
