LevelBlue Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

The network intrusion detection and prevention system (IDPS) appliance market is composed of stand-alone physical and virtual appliances that inspect defined network traffic either on-premises or in the cloud. They are often located in the network to inspect traffic that has passed through perimeter security devices, such as firewalls, secure Web gateways and secure email gateways. IDPS devices are deployed in-line and perform full-stream reassembly of network traffic. They provide detection via several methods — for example, signatures, protocol anomaly detection, behavioral monitoring or heuristics, advanced threat defense (ATD) integration, and threat intelligence (TI). When deployed in-line, IDPSs can also use various techniques to detect and block attacks that are identified with high confidence; this is one of the primary benefits of this technology. Next-generation IDPSs have evolved in response to advanced targeted threats that can evade first-generation IDPSs. (Retired as of Mar-12-2026).

GLOBAL CYBERSECURITY COE LEADER

Good Alert Logic MDR solution with the required technical depth suited for small and mid-sized businesses. However, the quality of technical support has nosedived a lot in the past 3-4 years.

Director, Information Security

PRO:
The Alert Logic WSM works very well for blocking web attacks (sql injection, xss...etc).  The dashboard view provides a quick insight into traffic and attack patterns.  There are multiple configurations in which to specify how to handle policy violations, set up proxy routing and load balancing.  The support team is very knowledgeable and responsive.

CON:
The interface is sometimes not intuitive and can be clunky.  The WAF does not scan file upload attachments for malware.
