It's a highly mature, competitively priced solution that provides total visibility into your ecosystem. FORTRA's Alert Logic has the only Cybersecurity Platform that integrates XDR+WAF+VM+DLP in one.
Alert Logic offers total visibility into the client's IT ecosystem. The solution's intrusion detection system inspects 100 percent of the network packets and installs universal agents on all physical and virtual servers for log collection. Alert Logic also aggregates logs of the client's various 3rd Party security tools into a single pane of glass. All of the analytics from those data feeds got to a 24/7 SOC with sophisticated resources. Alert Logic has massive threat intelligence resources to provide additional context to the incident response declarations. They do all the heavy lifting for clients who lack the technology and resources to operate their own SOC. The client is solely responsible for the incident response component. The macro analytics resides on Alert Logic's cloud. You have the ECM response and business application team on the client side. Everything works in tandem, which is the only way you can deal with the advanced threats we face today, especially the ransomware families. If you don't respond in minutes, you're in trouble.

Improved efficiency with automated pricing and streamlined console
We are based in India, and we need to have these resources. We use it with smaller teams on security, leveraging expertise from SentinelOne The most valuable functions are automated pricing and ensuring the console is clean.  Additionally, it helps complete RC tasks and get the right information…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Everything is in one dashboard; I'm notified when there's an incident and advised on what steps to take."
"Notifications and the detail of notifications are most valuable. It is a user-friendly solution."
"The quicker implementation of changes to our infrastructure from Alert Logic tell us if there are any problems."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"It is a very stable product."
"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 installation and configuration were slick."
"SentinelOne Vigilance is a very stable solution."
"The best feature of this solution is the third-party management aspect. An external company oversees the tool's management and monitors the data it generates. If the EDR detects suspicious activity, it will react accordingly and take necessary actions, such as blocking a device."
"SentinelOne Vigilance is an endpoint security tool with quarantining, dashboards showing us information, and many capabilities like manual and automatic quarantine of environmental issues."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable functions are automated pricing and ensuring the console is clean."
"The SentinelOne Active EDR is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"I have seen benefits from using it, and I can assure that it is 100% protected against many threats, and it is always in the actual state."
 

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."
"The setup process was complex."
"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."
"Could be more of an endpoint protector."
"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."
"As a user involved with the user interface, I believe there is a need to continue improving it based on feedback from our customers."
"It is not easy to remove the customer without the dashboard."
"The only thing I'm not sure about is I haven't deployed it on any mobile devices."
"Occasionally during an update, customers may temporarily be without protection until the upgrade is complete."
"When upgrades are required on the server, you need to almost remove SentinelOne Vigilance completely off the system. We put SentinelOne Vigilance on silence for the monitor mode, but we were having trouble upgrading the server. I had to remove SentinelOne Vigilance completely from the server, but that meant that all the previous logs of attacks I wanted to look at on the server were gone. This is one thing they need to improve, they need better compatibility with the Microsoft Windows service. I should not have to remove the agent completely to upgrade the service."
"SentinelOne Vigilance doesn't actively monitor incoming emails or offer an email plugin for Outlook."
"My only complaint is that the knowledge base is not accessible to the customer."
"It's too early to say what needs improvement."
"The tool needs improvement in clear communication and detection."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Alert Logic has better competitive pricing than some of its competitors."
"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."
"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."
"Price of the solution was very reasonable considering the size of our organization at the time, and so it worked out perfectly."
"Almost any product that is on the AWS Marketplace is super easy to subscribe to."
"The solution’s pricing is very reasonable."
"The tool's pricing is slightly cheaper than other alternatives. It's not just about licensing costs; because we already have it implemented, we can save money on deployment and initial setup. Additionally, SentinelOne Vigilance is slightly cheaper in licensing, maybe around 10-15 percent cheaper."
"I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten since it is really expensive, but it is well worth what my company gets."
"The licensing cost depends on the number of connected devices and whether you purchase additional services."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten since it is a very highly-priced solution."
"SentinelOne Vigilance is priced in a normal range."
"I give the cost a three out of ten."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
