We performed a comparison between Alert Logic and Cisco Secure Network Analytics 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."Notifications and the detail of notifications are most valuable. It is a user-friendly solution."
"It has the ability to install agents. It is pretty straightforward. You can automate the process pretty easily."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution was consistently available, and I cannot recall any instances where it was down."
"We receive infrastructure security warnings from it. So, we know what is going on and what needs to be addressed."
"Most valuable features are the network maps and server and network response time."
"Another notable feature of Cisco Secure Network Analytics is its Layer 7 visibility, which allows us to monitor and analyze network communications at the application layer."
"It has improved our internal knowledge of what's going on with the network, and that's helpful."
"The most valuable features are encrypted threat analysis and the ability to run jobs on entire flows."
"Using this solution has helped us to detect and identify viruses or malicious activity in the network early on."
"It has been pretty stable since we deployed it, and everything seems to be working fine."
"The most valuable feature we got out of Stealthwatch is to be able to, while troubleshooting, go deep into one of our interfaces and verify what the bandwidth is and if there's any activity there that's causing problems."
"Able to drill down into a center's utilization, then create reports based on it."
"The documentation, especially with the initial setup, needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"As a user involved with the user interface, I believe there is a need to continue improving it based on feedback from our customers."
"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 setup process was complex."
"If there was one improvement I’d suggest it would be that it detect traffic through an intranet. The product requires that traffic flow through a managed network device. The product is designed mostly for enterprise environments and not smaller environments or businesses."
"We are continuing down the road of ACI and ISE with Cisco, so we would like to see the continuation of Stealthwatch integrating into ISE for exchange of information, and also, more into the ACI environment too."
"Better integration between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Cisco Secure Workload would be beneficial."
"I would like to see a hybrid solution that can work without being connected directly to the internet for those destinations."
"There's a lot of traffic on our network that we don't see sometimes."
"We've run into some issues with the configuration."
"It would be better to let people know, up front, that is doesn't give you nice, clear information, as seen in the demos, without Cisco ISE installed."
"The version with the Dell server had iDRAC problems. Often, it reported iDRAC failure."
