Executive SummaryUpdated on Aug 26, 2026

Devo and CrowdStrike Observability compete in the realm of data analytics and observability solutions. Devo seems to have an advantage for users seeking extensive data manipulation and fast analytics, while CrowdStrike Observability is preferred for comprehensive data protection and predictive capabilities.

Features: Devo focuses on high-speed search, real-time analytics, and modular UI, allowing for efficient work with large datasets and flexible workflows without heavy vendor reliance. Activeboards and CyberChef enhance its analytical capabilities. CrowdStrike Observability emphasizes comprehensive data protection with predictive analytics, agent-less data collection, and an intuitive dashboard for enhanced user interface experiences.

Room for Improvement: Devo could improve its Activeboards' visual appearance, cloud SaaS integrations, pre-built monitoring capabilities, data ingestion processes, and technical support response times. CrowdStrike Observability faces challenges with complex module integration, lengthy issue resolution, user interface simplification, and report retention.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Devo supports both on-premises and cloud deployments, with quick deployment and an integrative support team, although technical support responsiveness needs improvement. CrowdStrike Observability offers hybrid deployment with agile methods, focusing on flexibility and customer needs with professional and flexible support ensuring smooth execution.

Pricing and ROI: Devo employs a straightforward pricing model based on data ingestion, offering 400 days of data storage without hidden costs. It provides high value and predictable pricing without extra charges for features. CrowdStrike Observability is considered expensive, akin to a Rolls-Royce, but it's justified by its comprehensive capabilities, limiting accessibility for smaller organizations.

IT COMMUNICATIONS AND NETWORKS at Américas BPS

Has provided reliable alerts and helped identify infrastructure issues through detailed reporting

The best features of CrowdStrike Observability include the way they show issues to the client or agent, and their data collection method is interesting because they use an agent-less approach in some cases, collecting data from infrastructure such as firewalls. Additionally, they have the agent, but the presentation in the management console is excellent as we have observability end-to-end with the servers and all the services configured in the use cases. The intelligent alerting feature is excellent and configured on our console, being highly effective as it detects real alerts and just warnings or real issues. Identifying performance bottlenecks is important because they collect numerous MD5 or hash keys including movements or playbooks. The way they organize that in the console is excellent, allowing you to have reports detecting issues, which not only includes detection but also provides solutions to those issues.

Team Lead Soc at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

Advanced threat hunting has improved SOC visibility and now supports faster incident response

Devo can improve in how its connectors enhance integration with third-party tools. Devo's architecture works by having you deploy a relay server in the data center of the client side and Devo SIEM is basically on the AWS cloud. There are specific ports which are enabled on the relay server, which are 514 and 13000, 13151, 152. However, when we talk about databases and custom integrations, there are not default ports in the relay server. No default ports are defined. For JDBC drivers, the port number is 1433, but it is not in the relay server. You have to add it manually. For Oracle RDBMS, the port is 1521, and it is also not there by default. I would appreciate more third-party integrations including Fortinet and others. Machine learning models can also be improved. Playbooks in the SOAR can also be improved. Regarding playbooks for automation, we utilize playbooks for automation in SOAR for automated IOC blocking on a firewall, on a web application firewall, on DNS security, etc. The only option for us to run the playbook is to schedule the job for it. However, if I want to manually run the playbook, there is no option for doing so. This needs improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In the logs and the trajectory, it shows detailed information about where the source of infection comes from, how it travels, and how to reach there."

"CrowdStrike Observability offers strong predictive analytics capabilities, and the intelligent alerting system helps minimize noise and optimize IT resources effectively."

"CrowdStrike Observability is a signature-less solution where you don't need to update your endpoints or the CrowdStrike Observability agents regularly, and it is completely based on AI and ML search engines."

"The log aggregation and correlation of data are notable features that enhance our operations."

"I find the most effective feature of CrowdStrike Observability to be its cloud vision and attack surface vision, which enhance network traffic analysis."

"The intelligence database provided by CrowdStrike is very impressive."

"The best features of CrowdStrike Observability include the way they show issues to the client or agent, and their data collection method is interesting because they use an agent-less approach in some cases, collecting data from infrastructure such as firewalls."

"The intelligent alerting feature is excellent and configured on our console, being highly effective as it detects real alerts and just warnings or real issues."

More CrowdStrike Observability [EOL] pros

"Devo has improved our visibility, log management efficiency, and investigation capabilities positively."

"Devo is simpler and easier for beginners because the data ingestion is more streamlined and it includes a visual query interface, whereas Splunk is more complex but also more flexible."

"Scalability is one of Devo's strengths."

"Because of the way Devo works, our onboarding time has shrunk by 50 percent at least."

"The user interface is really modern. As an end-user, there are a lot of possibilities to tailor the platform to your needs, and that can be done without needing much support from Devo. It's really flexible and modular. The UI is very clean."

"Devo's speed and performance allows us to query in real-time and keep up with what is actually happening on the network, then respond effectively to events."

"When we show the people who are in charge of getting funding that we saved this number of man-hours, which correlates to this number of dollars, they're more willing to fight to get that funding for the next fiscal year."

"It's very, very versatile."

More Devo pros

Cons

"Technical support received a rating of 4 out of 10."

"For reporting or log management, having a longer duration for backup without needing to purchase a paid subscription would be beneficial. Currently, there is a default ninety-day backup period."

"The areas of CrowdStrike Observability that have room for improvement include the approach towards customer issues, where resolution takes time."

"The pricing is very high and small companies cannot afford it. They should reduce the price because the backend infrastructure is the same."

"Integration with Huawei should be more straightforward."

"The customer service is not satisfactory for me. The support is only available in English, and my users in LATAM regions such as Peru and Colombia require local language support, which is not currently provided."

"We had some difficulties at the beginning, but at this moment they are improving, so probably in some months I will give them a ten."

"From the different deployments I have worked with, the shortcomings of CrowdStrike Observability are often because of what clients are able to share with CrowdStrike."

"The overall performance of extraction could be a lot faster, but that's a common problem in this space in general. Also, the stock or default alerting and detecting options could definitely be broader and more all-encompassing. The fact that they're not is why we had to write all our own alerts."

"Both response time and support quality need attention."

"An admin who is trying to audit user activity usually cannot go beyond a day in the UI. I would like to have access to pages and pages of that data, going back as far as the storage we have, so I could look at every command or search or deletion or anything that a user has run. As an admin, that would really help. Going back just a day in the UI is not going to help, and that means I have to find a different way to do that."

"I have not observed a return on investment with Devo in terms of fewer employees needed, money saved, or time saved."

"Devo has a lot of cloud connectors, but they need to do a little bit of work there. They've got good integrations with the public cloud, but there are a lot of cloud SaaS systems that they still need to work with on integrations, such as Salesforce and other SaaS providers where we need to get access logs."

"There are some issues from an availability and functionality standpoint, meaning the tool is somewhat slow. There were some slow response periods over the past six to nine months, though it has yet to impact us terribly as we are a relatively small shop. We've noticed it, however, so Devo could improve the responsiveness."

"My opinion on the solution's technical support is not as great as it could be because of the issues I have faced regarding the service management element."

"There's room for improvement within the GUI. There is also some room for improvement within the native parsers they support. But I can say that about pretty much any solution in this space."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"I rate the pricing a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"Our licensing fees are billed annually and per terabyte."

"Devo is definitely cheaper than Splunk. There's no doubt about that. The value from Devo is good. It's definitely more valuable to me than QRadar or LogRhythm or any of the old, traditional SIEMs."

"Devo was very cost-competitive... Devo did come with that 400 days of hot data, and that was not the case with other products."

"Pricing is based on the number of gigabytes of ingestion by volume, and it's on a 30-day average. If you go over one day, that's not a big deal as long as the average is what you expected it to be."

"Devo is a hosted or subscription-based solution, whereas before, we purchased QRadar, so we owned it and just had to pay a maintenance fee. We've encountered this with some other products, too, where we went over to subscription-based. Our thought process is that with subscription based, the provider hosts and maintains the tool, and it's offsite. That comes with some additional fees, but we were able to convince our upper management it was worth the price. We used to pay under 10k a year for maintenance, and now we're paying ten times that. It was a relatively tough sell to our management, but I wonder if we have a choice anymore; this is where the market is."

"It's very competitive. That was also a primary draw for us. Some of the licensing models with solutions like Splunk and Sentinel were attractive upfront, but there were so many micro-charges and services we would've had to add on to make them what we wanted. We had to include things like SOAR and extended capabilities, whereas all those capabilities are completely included with the Devo platform. I haven't seen any additional fee."

"I like the pricing very much. They keep it simple. It is a single price based on data ingested, and they do it on an average. If you get a spike of data that flows in, they will not stick it to you or charge you for that. They are very fair about that."
