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%.

A financial planning solution for healthcare that allows you to analyze information for future budgets
It's good because of the benefit it gives in relation to the cost. Other solutions are very expensive to deliver. The solution is a financial planning solution for healthcare, so it helps predict the budget for the next year. A lot of hospitals in Brazil are using Excel and manually calculating these things, so it provides a lot of benefit to clients. This solution is very complete. There are a lot of models for different areas, like oncology, neurology, etc. It shows you the different revenues and profits for each area and allows you to analyze the information in detail. It gives you a good picture of the situation and helps you make a business decision. If the customer has any problems before, during, or after implementation, Ernst & Young help to solve the problem.

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."
"My advice would be to go ahead with the product because it really is a very good tool that adds a lot of value."
"Notifications and the detail of notifications are most valuable. It is a user-friendly solution."
"Alert Logic MDR has positively impacted our organization by minimizing the alert SLA timing."
"Technical support is pretty decent with Alert Logic."
"It is a very stable product."
"The solution was consistently available, and I cannot recall any instances where it was down."
"It fully integrates with our AWS environment, which is brilliant."
"This solution is very complete. There are a lot of models for different areas, like oncology, neurology, etc. It shows you the different revenues and profits for each area and allows you to analyze the information in detail."
"The main benefit of this solution is that you have intelligence and functionality behind the solution to predict numbers."
 

Cons

"I think Alert Logic MDR could be improved."
"As a user involved with the user interface, I believe there is a need to continue improving it based on feedback from our customers."
"One major missing feature was the ability to see if vulnerabilities were exploitable, which required extra effort for us."
"We cannot say we have seen a return on investment ROI-wise, but our first priority is to secure the endpoint."
"The product needs to mature. We don't want to be bombarded with unnecessary issues and have the real ones slip through."
"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."
"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 big challenge is when a company doesn't use SAP as ERP. If the company uses other kinds of systems to manage their information, it's a challenge because this product is integrated with SAP."
"The big challenge is when a company doesn't use SAP as ERP."
 

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."
"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."
"Alert Logic has better competitive pricing than some of its competitors."
"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."
"The cost is good in relation to the benefit."
