A product that is a highly scalable and provides the functionalities of a SIEM solution to its users
My main issue with them was the constant need for meetings to discuss developing the API model we needed. It felt like we were always in and out of meetings trying to figure it out. It would be great if they could create a more user-friendly experience, like a drag-and-drop interface or a website builder, where clients could build their own API without needing access to the back end. Let me choose the specific tools I want to use and be able to set a price for each of them. Maybe I don't need the entire package in my environment, but I really just want the IDS/IPS. I don't like Splunk or one of the other providers, like Rapid7, who don't work well for me in my environment. So, I suggest having packages for small to medium-sized businesses, even if the primary focus is on larger companies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Notifications and the detail of notifications are most valuable. It is a user-friendly solution."
"It is a very stable product."
"The quicker implementation of changes to our infrastructure from Alert Logic tell us if there are any problems."
"The installation and configuration were slick."
"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 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."
"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 helps me to get new sales, profits, and other benefits."
"Apart from getting all the bug bounty opportunities, we also get the chance to practice in a safe environment, like a demo setup. These features are great for beginners who want to explore bug bounties in the future."
"The most valuable feature of HackerOne is its variety of programs. These programs provide depth into various areas, such as mobile, API, and websites."
 

Cons

"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."
"As a user involved with the user interface, I believe there is a need to continue improving it based on feedback from our customers."
"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 setup process was complex."
"We'd like to have triggered alerts sent to us so we see errors quicker."
"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."
"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."
"One issue I've experienced is traffic. Many people try to participate when an opportunity with a bounty of around 1,000-15,000 dollars comes up. In this case, the first person to report the vulnerability gets the bounty. If a second person reports the same vulnerability, they are marked as duplicated instead of receiving some recognition. The second person also invested time finding the issue, so I think this can be improved."
"The ability to view the conversation between the triagers and the programs will be really good."
"Response time can be improved. The HackerOne Trust team can be slow to respond sometimes. They're not using AI, which could help reduce the number of duplicate reports."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Almost any product that is on the AWS Marketplace is super easy to subscribe to."
"Price of the solution was very reasonable considering the size of our organization at the time, and so it worked out perfectly."
"Alert Logic has better competitive pricing than some of its competitors."
"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."
"The solution is free."
"The tool is open-source and free for bug bounty hunters."
