We performed a comparison between Alert Logic and Cisco NGIPS 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 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."
"Everything is in one dashboard; I'm notified when there's an incident and advised on what steps to take."
"It has the ability to install agents. It is pretty straightforward. You can automate the process pretty easily."
"The installation and configuration were slick."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is more or less stable. Sometimes I have some issues normally when we need to upgrade it to newer versions. I think it does the job."
"It is salable and technically sound."
"It has helped to improve our cybersecurity and our network security posture."
"Among all the different solutions I have worked with, such as Palo Alto many other firewalls. Cisco has the support, documentation, and design. The documentation is widely available and it can help you a lot with implementation. It makes the implementation much easier."
"We use the solution for cybersecurity purposes. The tool helps us to identify anomalies that come from internal or external networks."
"The most valuable features are the intrusion detection ones."
"The solution is stable. This is one of the good things in Firepower. Especially if we use ESE with it."
"The tracking intelligence feature is very good. This solution provides us with the opportunity to detect threats in real-time."
"The documentation, especially with the initial setup, needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"We'd like to have triggered alerts sent to us so we see errors quicker."
"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."
"The aspect of private party integration solutions could be improved."
"Cisco NGIPS should work on its shortcomings related to the issues that stem from bugs and performance."
"Our customers are still facing many bugs on the system. It has matured noticeably, but we are still facing multiple stability issues on Firepower. There are more than 80 or 90 bugs for each release node. It's a considerable number of bugs."
"Overall, it lacks user-friendliness. It could be easier to manage. I can train any customer using FortiGate or Palo Alto in a few days, but with Cisco, it takes much more time because the systems aren't easy to use."
"The CLI, the console line interface, of the FTD could be improved. It's very complex, so without a GUI, it doesn't work well. I would like it to be more simple."
"The attack patterns and payloads go undetected in Cisco. We would like to see a new solution with more effective detection of attack patterns. There should be more data analyzing patterns as well which provides useful information."
"I think that some initiation scripts might be helpful because they would make the configuration easier and more user-friendly for customers."
"It has room for improvement when it comes to integrating machine learning and AI into it where even if you don't have a baseline that is of length for anomaly detection, it could do more like an AI style machine learning. It learns on its own."
