Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 initial setup is pretty straightforward.""Everything is in one dashboard; I'm notified when there's an incident and advised on what steps to take.""The solution was consistently available, and I cannot recall any instances where it was down.""The quicker implementation of changes to our infrastructure from Alert Logic tell us if there are any problems.""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.""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 interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed.""I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel.""Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable.""The security features are very valuable.""The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors.""Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively.""Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect.""The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."

Cons
"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."""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.""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.""The product needs to mature. We don't want to be bombarded with unnecessary issues and have the real ones slip through.""They have ideas and email you whatever they find, but they don't have a dedicated security team who will work on an attack or a specific security instance.""This product needs to mature more. While it is a good product, there are some areas where it needs work.""Its menu is not very intuitive. I would like to see the user menu expanded a bit. The user menu is very layered, and because of the layers, you have to go down a path that is not very intuitive.""Could be more of an endpoint protector."

"Tanium’s scalability could be improved.""Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based.""I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments.""The solution lacks mobility.""We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade.""The reporting could be improved.""The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes.""They could improve the UI."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "Price of the solution was very reasonable considering the size of our organization at the time, and so it worked out perfectly."

  • "There is an annual license required to use this solution."

  • "Tanium is a more expensive solution in Latin America than some of the competitors, such as BigFix."
  • "It is higher than some competitors in the market."
  • "The solution offers value for money."
  • "The solution is expensive but it's a good investment."
