We performed a comparison between Alert Logic and Cisco IOS Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has the ability to install agents. It is pretty straightforward. You can automate the process pretty easily."
"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."
"We receive infrastructure security warnings from it. So, we know what is going on and what needs to be addressed."
"The solution was consistently available, and I cannot recall any instances where it was down."
"Everything is in one dashboard; I'm notified when there's an incident and advised on what steps to take."
"The quicker implementation of changes to our infrastructure from Alert Logic tell us if there are any problems."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Notifications and the detail of notifications are most valuable. It is a user-friendly solution."
"The VPN is the most valuable feature."
"Cisco IOS allows us to keep the same security features as our principal offices."
"I'm able to transfer data over internet network security. With the GRE I'm able to transfer data within one bunch to another bunch in a public way, like the internet. The communication is encrypted and is private. It gives me added privacy."
"The most valuable features are DNS service and shell self-service within a network."
"The most valuable feature is endpoint protection."
"The product has valuable features for business intelligence."
"Cisco Technical Assistance Center works on a follow-the-sun concept and gives real 24x7 customer support, which is a great advantage when you have a service contract with them."
"Cisco IOS Security is very robust and works very well."
"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.""
"This product needs to mature more. While it is a good product, there are some areas where it needs work."
"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. Right now, it is a bit limited."
"We'd like to have triggered alerts sent to us so we see errors quicker."
"The setup process was complex."
"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 product needs to mature. We don't want to be bombarded with unnecessary issues and have the real ones slip through."
"The configuration and reporting interfaces need a lot of improvement. It needs to be more accessible forsolide without a strong technical background. If you had a simplified dashboard, the lower-level techs could manage the solution and provide services. Cisco IOS Security requires someone who is highly trained to operate it."
"Cisco IOS Security could improve its security features. There are competitors that have some additional security features, such as Fortinet FortiGate. Additionally, there should be better synchronization with Cisco IOS Security and other vendors, and improved AI features would be beneficial."
"The graphical user interface or the GUI could be better. Beginners can use some devices with the GUI, but some security devices are configured using CLI. It would also be better if it had its own Intrusion Protection Service and Intrusion Detection Service on the server."
"I think setup could be one area for improvement, because sometimes we don't have people inside so we have to move to the place."
"We have a very bad experience on the support. They take too much time requesting logs, and they are not coming directly online to resolve the issues."
"The initial setup is complicated."
"Cisco very slowly introduces and implements the products, unlike other brands."
"The solution is complex and can be more user-friendly."
