Featured Reviews

Alice Walter - PeerSpot reviewer
Team Lead at Target
Cloud monitoring has reduced threats and has improved response times and team productivity
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%.
Pranay Jain - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior software developer at Simplifyvms
Continuous monitoring has strengthened payment security and now reduces incident impact quickly
There are specific details that can be improved in Deepwatch. After implementing it, we tracked both response time and threat detection accuracy using the SIEM dashboard. We measured response time using MTTD and MTTR. There are areas that can be improved, such as every alert having a timestamp for detection time and acknowledgment. We observed the MTTR dropping from a few hours to under one hour after using Deepwatch, so baseline metrics can be enhanced. Deepwatch can reduce alert fatigue since sometimes it generates a high volume of alerts that overwhelm our team. This can create too many alerts in a short amount of time, making it hard for our team to understand what to do. Additionally, the dashboard can be improved for better user-friendliness for end-users, requiring better visualization of MTTR, threat trends, and risk scoring. Improvements can also be made in more automated playbooks for automated response to common threats, and there is room for deeper integration capabilities, as integration with some internal tools may require additional effort.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It improves our security; before, we didn't have anything scanning our containers, but with Alert Logic we can now scan them for vulnerabilities."
"The solution was consistently available, and I cannot recall any instances where it was down."
"My advice would be to go ahead with the product because it really is a very good tool that adds a lot of value."
"Alert Logic MDR's best features are the cloud-managed service, the cost benefit, and 24/7 monitoring."
"Everything is in one dashboard; I'm notified when there's an incident and advised on what steps to take."
"The installation and configuration were slick."
"It fully integrates with our AWS environment, which is brilliant."
"Technical support is pretty decent with Alert Logic."
"Deepwatch positively impacts our organization by reducing incident response time because previously, there was no mechanism to follow up on incidents, such as any security breach in the payment gateway, and it has reduced response time by 40 to 60 percent while significantly improving threat detection accuracy with 24/7 monitoring even after business hours."
 

Cons

"The setup process was complex."
"The documentation, especially with the initial setup, needs improvement."
"Alert Logic MDR stops programs from making changes to user systems, though this can be hit or miss."
"The product needs to mature. We don't want to be bombarded with unnecessary issues and have the real ones slip through."
"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."
"Could be more of an endpoint protector."
"I would like more data on the alert payload. It would be good to have the ability to customize the alert payload to add whatever data that we want on there."
"Deepwatch can reduce alert fatigue since sometimes it generates a high volume of alerts that overwhelm our team."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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