Alert Logic MDR Valuable Features

Alice Walter - PeerSpot reviewer

Alert Logic MDR's best features are the cloud-managed service, the cost benefit, and 24/7 monitoring. The alert system improved from potentially 24 hours to one hour response time. The benefit of not having to write custom queries has been significant.

The features are very lightweight, with small installations that leave almost no footprint on systems. System resource utilization is minimal.

Alert Logic MDR has positively impacted my organization through its decentralized pricing approach, which has protected against several viruses. Any virus stopped represents money saved. There is low impact on users, so they do not experience slowness on their computers when scanning.

Alert Logic MDR has improved security in my organization from 50 to 65%.

The standout features of Alert Logic included the topology feature, which was helpful for mapping assets on the network, giving a clear understanding of all connected devices. It also performed real-time scanning of assets. Furthermore, Alert Logic was up to date with new vulnerabilities, quickly adding them to the database.

The most valuable aspect of Alert Logic is its optimized 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 an average of 6 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.

When I was using it, I think the valuable feature was the ability to monitor the Ada environment and detect heuristic threats such as brute-force attacks. It could differentiate between legitimate user behavior, such as a user forgetting their password and repeatedly trying to log in.

The value of Alert Logic is that everything is in one dashboard; I'm notified when there's an incident, kept up to date and advised on what steps to take. The solution has good intrusion detection.

The searching aspects of the solution are very valuable for our organization.

The reporting on the solution is quite useful for us.

The log messages and session logic are excellent. As an engineer, it's very useful to get the logs immediately if any production issues arise. We have everything we need to troubleshoot at our fingertips.

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, e.g., things that we didn't have somebody looking for. It shows us these automatically, using things like automated scanning.

I like that it is physical hardware. With virtual, the processing can go bad and can get hung up. However, if it is physical, it's its own box. E.g., there is no noisy neighbor issue.

It scans correctly and quickly. For example, we had an issue where we had Bitcoin mined and sold in some of our containers, and Alert Logic was able to find it and alert us about it. Then, we were able to find out why the containers were being hacked and killed it.
