Centralized observability has accelerated incident resolution and currently improves release monitoring
Overall, Edge Delta is a strong observability platform, but there are a few areas where it could be improved. One area is dashboard and reporting customization. The platform provides useful operational insights, but having more flexibility to create highly tailored views for different teams would be beneficial. Another area is onboarding and usability. Observability platforms can be complex, especially for new users, so additional guided workflows, recommendations, and learning resources could help teams become productive more quickly. Deeper integration visibility would be useful as well. Many organizations use multiple monitoring, logging, and incident management tools, so having even better cross-platform correlation and troubleshooting workflows would add value. On the pricing side, observability platforms can become expensive as data volume grows. More granular cost optimization insights and usage visibility would help organizations better understand how data consumption impacts cost and where optimizations can be made. The platform is strong in its core capabilities. The improvements I would prioritize would be deeper ecosystem integrations, enhanced cost visibility, and more intelligent automation to help teams act on observability data more efficiently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The biggest benefit has been the reduction in troubleshooting and incident investigation time, as root-cause analysis has become roughly thirty to forty percent faster, allowing engineers to spend less time searching through logs and more time resolving issues."
"We now get a better view into what is happening on our network and to the servers than previously."
"It allows you to define what alerts you want to see, or not to see, as well as if you want them grouped, or ungrouped."
"The most valuable feature is vulnerability management because it gives you insight into your environment to know what systems need to be updated or patched."
"I think this has a lot of valuable functions that really could be leveraged quite nicely."
"The other big selling feature for us was its integration capabilities with all the other security-based products."
"It is the most valuable tool that I have seen of the SIEM solutions."
"AlienVault has provided a nice, unified system for monitoring and reporting."
"It provides a single pane of glass view, coupled with a whole security ecosystem. The ability to manage everything from a central point, including vulnerability assessments, asset management - including the services provided by the various hosts, NIDS, HIDS, etc. - provides a very efficient way of dealing with things."
 

Cons

"On the pricing side, observability platforms can become expensive as data volume grows."
"This solution could be easier to use."
"Plugins: most plugins are not up to date with the newer versions of products."
"The UI and overall processes need a little bit more love. This shows in the error banners that come up when you select certain things. There isn't a day that goes by that the UI doesn't error out and I can't view events for an alarm."
"Reporting and Windows log collection is the biggest drawback."
"Source material on the forums to be more up-to-date with the changes happening within the product. Forums being out-of-date with information due to the changes makes troubleshooting a little more difficult - specific to the HIDS agents."
"The only that I can think of is that is not ideal is sending Windows Server logs to their device, to the system."
"The log query capability is pretty restrictive and I find myself searching through raw logs via command line more often than the GUI."
"Although they use machine learning, the algorithms that they use are graph-based."

"The licensing fees are dependent on usage."
