It's a highly mature, competitively priced solution that provides total visibility into your ecosystem
Alert Logic offers total visibility into the client's IT ecosystem. The solution's intrusion detection system inspects 100 percent of the network packets and installs universal agents on all physical and virtual servers for log collection. Alert Logic also aggregates logs of the client's various 3rd Party security tools into a single pane of glass. All of the analytics from those data feeds got to a 24/7 SOC with sophisticated resources. Alert Logic has massive threat intelligence resources to provide additional context to the incident response declarations. They do all the heavy lifting for clients who lack the technology and resources to operate their own SOC. The client is solely responsible for the incident response component. The macro analytics resides on Alert Logic's cloud. You have the ECM response and business application team on the client side. Everything works in tandem, which is the only way you can deal with the advanced threats we face today, especially the ransomware families. If you don't respond in minutes, you're in trouble.

The solution makes it easy to monitor users though it needs to improve its UI
I use the solution for a bit of user monitoring and analysis, and logging events It is easy to monitor users and that is how the solution is adding value to our firm. I think almost all the features in terms of how they assist us in monitoring what is going on in our infrastructure are valuable,…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"We receive infrastructure security warnings from it. So, we know what is going on and what needs to be addressed."
"The quicker implementation of changes to our infrastructure from Alert Logic tell us if there are any problems."
"Notifications and the detail of notifications are most valuable. It is a user-friendly solution."
"The installation and configuration were slick."
"It improves our security. Before, we didn't have anything scanning our containers. We had software scanning all the physical servers, but we had nothing to scan our containers. With Alert Logic, we can do that."
"It is a very stable product."
"The solution was consistently available, and I cannot recall any instances where it was down."
"The solution is useful for privilege accounts and super admin accounts. It is beneficial from a security perspective. The tool uses machine learning rather than threshold-based alerts. For instance, it can detect unusual user logins, such as a user logging in from a new browser or location."
"LogRhythm UEBA’s best feature is the dashboard. It provides several graphs, charts, and event logs."
"The solution's most valuable features are the graphical user interface and the reporting."
"It is easy to monitor users and that is how the solution is adding value to our firm."
"What I like most about LogRhythm UEBA is that it allows you to identify and analyze end-user behaviors and suspicious activities within the systems."
"The most valuable features are file activity monitoring and registry activity monitoring."
"The tool's most valuable feature is server threat hunting."
"Good capability pinpointing specific cyber incidents."
 

Cons

"The documentation, especially with the initial setup, needs improvement."
"The product needs to mature. We don't want to be bombarded with unnecessary issues and have the real ones slip through."
"Could be more of an endpoint protector."
"They have ideas and email you whatever they find, but they don't have a dedicated security team who will work on an attack or a specific security instance."
"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."
"This product needs to mature more. While it is a good product, there are some areas where it needs work."
"Its menu is not very intuitive. I would like to see the user menu expanded a bit. The user menu is very layered, and because of the layers, you have to go down a path that is not very intuitive."
"I would like to see it do initial scans and start capturing data, which it will truly analyze, not just be a reporting system saying, "Here is an email. Here is an email. Here is an email.""
"What needs improvement in LogRhythm UEBA is the pricing. Here in Asia, for example, in Sri Lanka, pricing is the primary concern, and this is the only area for improvement I see in the product."
"It should have better mitigation with other solutions and be tightly integrated with other solutions. It has to be improved."
"It would be helpful if there were more guidance provided for integrating with unsupported devices."
"The search feature needs to be improved."
"The product could be user-friendly for someone who doesn’t have any prior experience working with it."
"The cloud version is lacking and not up to par."
"The product should improve its dashboards. Splunk has neat dashboards. Additionally, we would like to enhance the use cases provided by LogRhythm as its use case library is not as extensive as other tools. Its machine-learning capabilities need to improve when compared to other solutions. It lacks risk quantification in a single, transparent view for individuals such as CSOs."
"LogRhythm UEBA's data aggregation needs to be improved. Open-source users do not have much documentation available. Documentation is available only for enterprise users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price of the solution was very reasonable considering the size of our organization at the time, and so it worked out perfectly."
"Almost any product that is on the AWS Marketplace is super easy to subscribe to."
"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."
"Alert Logic has better competitive pricing than some of its competitors."
"Our ROI would probably be zero. We don't even use it. It sits in there. We get emails and just delete them. Around the world, we don't even use it."
"The pricing is nice when compared to other products in the industry."
"LogRhythm UEBA's pricing is affordable for small and medium businesses."
"As LogRhythm UEBA is pretty expensive, I'd give its pricing a seven out of ten."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. However, the cloud version is expensive. You need to hire professional services for deployment and migrations, which can be expensive."
"It is quite a budget-friendly product."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. It's not expensive compared to its competitors."
