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.
MehulSharma - PeerSpot reviewer
Users appreciate comprehensive threat management features and find management console straightforward
Regarding machine learning-based threat protection in Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites, customers are not using that, so I am not taking any responses from the customers. If you want, you can drop me a mail, and then I will collect the information from my customers. I don't know about it, actually. I am a salesperson, not technical. Other than pricing, the areas of Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites that I would like to see improved or enhanced depend on cases. For approximately 1300 to 1200, it varies by case. When it involves 500 customers or 200 customers, it could go up to 900 and 1000 rupees. We win cases often.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The quicker implementation of changes to our infrastructure from Alert Logic tell us if there are any problems."
"It has the ability to install agents. It is pretty straightforward. You can automate the process pretty easily."
"It is a very stable product."
"Notifications and the detail of notifications are most valuable. It is a user-friendly solution."
"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."
"Everything is in one dashboard; I'm notified when there's an incident and advised on what steps to take."
"The solution's ability to operate without placing a heavy burden on our system resources is particularly commendable."
"The load balancer feature is excellent."
"The solution offers a comprehensive solution that includes antivirus, malware protection, ransomware protection, web filtering, and device control features. It provides networking capabilities, making it a robust solution for comprehensive security needs."
"Trend Micro effectively detects and blocks NAS devices and identifies potential threats."
"Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites has an inbuilt auto scan facility. It is very good at detection and response, and it includes a web filtering option."
"The multi-tenancy feature is beneficial for managing different customers, allowing for efficient handling across various tenants."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of deployment."
"The most important feature is behaviour detection."
 

Cons

"This product needs to mature more. While it is a good product, there are some areas where it needs work."
"As a user involved with the user interface, I believe there is a need to continue improving it based on feedback from our customers."
"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."
"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 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.""
"The documentation, especially with the initial setup, needs improvement."
"The setup process was complex."
"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 EDR part of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution's documentation is not good, and I'm struggling to change global configurations."
"Trend Micro should improve its Worry-Free Services Suites, particularly the agent for Windows operating systems."
"The licensing aspect seems costly, and the license cost increases yearly, which is a concern for us."
"The solution’s scalability is limited."
"The pricing of Trend Micro is a little bit higher compared to Sophos."
"Trend Micro Worry-Free Sevices Suits' pricing remains a concern for our non-profit organization. Despite receiving some discounts, we find the pricing on the higher side."
"The log management feature needs to be improved, specifically, the ability to send logs from the console via API."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution, which is too expensive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The product is available at a very good price point."
