You could integrate as many endpoints as you want within a fraction of seconds, and it accommodates the number of resources that you integrate with it while maintaining the same response time.

Room For Improvement

Apica lacks an intuitive interface, needs more customization, better alert accuracy, and improved documentation, scripting compatibility, and update management.
Falcon LogScale needs better query language, documentation, UX, integration, scalability, AI features, support speed, and affordability improvements.
When editing scripts, only one can be accessed at a time, risking changes affecting other folders.
Test Automation Specialist -Full Stack at IBM
For the ease of use for Falcon administrators, the same documentation on the Falcon LogScale portal should be on the CrowdStrike dashboard.
Cyber Security Engineer at eprocessconsulting
KQL is simpler when compared to SQL. However, SQL is faster and quite efficient, but the language is a bit tough.

What they have done now is added what is called Charlotte AI, which is their new AI capabilities that can help with this.

Recording flows and script enhancements streamline performance testing, but script access limitations and outdated language hinder some functions
Apica allows me to record APIs easily and enhances scripts through options like auto-correlation, enabling me to access dynamic fields. The tool has a test analyzer for clear reporting and downloading PDF reports. It is useful for both performance and automation testing, facilitating access to headers and payloads easily, enhancing scripts with dynamic values.
Oluwajuwon Olorunlona - PeerSpot reviewer
Cyber Security Engineer at eprocessconsulting
Advanced threat hunting has improved visibility and has simplified custom query automation
CrowdStrike is ahead of the game. If I may say anything about Falcon LogScale to improve the services, I would talk about the way you develop parsers. The documentation should be more straightforward. It is not easy to quickly find the documentation, especially if you are using CrowdStrike. Most customers use Falcon LogScale because of CrowdStrike. The documentation of Falcon LogScale is not on the CrowdStrike portal just like the rest of Falcon documentation. I usually find that the main Falcon LogScale documentation is found on the Falcon LogScale website itself. I think there should be a link or direct documentation within the CrowdStrike pages. It is not necessarily a fault. If you find where the documentation resides, you can trace it to what they are doing. However, for the ease of use for Falcon administrators, the same documentation on the Falcon LogScale portal should be on the CrowdStrike dashboard.
