Has improved investigative workflows with interactive dashboards and simplified data correlation
The data analytics cloud component focuses on real-time analytics, which is very impressive. The SIEM collects and correlates logs data from different sources and can integrate with ServiceNow, hardware asset management, and software asset management. The security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) is another valuable feature. The security data platform serves as the foundation of Devo. Regarding advanced query capabilities, Devo offers several models including query logs, visual query builder, language integrated query, and SQL, with SQL being the most frequently used querying data capability. The single pane of glass that Devo offers is the SOC. The tools in Devo's active ports are for investigating, not just viewing data. They are more interactive than other market solutions. The drill-down reports capabilities allow analysts to click on any element in a widget. When they see a spike in a line chart for a failed login, which could be a true or false attempt, they can click that spike, and a table widget on the same active board instantly populates with raw logs of data for those specific failed logins. This is particularly important for enterprise companies with numerous endpoints and users. The dynamic filtering of inputs significantly reduces the time cybersecurity analysts spend trying to figure out failed logins and identifying false positives.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user experience [is] well thought out and the workflows are logical. The dashboards are intuitive and highly customizable."
"The most valuable feature is definitely the ability that Devo has to ingest data. From the previous SIEM that I came from and helped my company administer, it really was the type of system where data was parsed on ingest. This meant that if you didn't build the parser efficiently or correctly, sometimes that would bring the system to its knees. You'd have a backlog of processing the logs as it was ingesting them."
"The most useful feature for us, because of some of the issues we had previously, was the simplicity of log integrations. It's much easier with this platform to integrate log sources that might not have standard logging and things like that."
"Devo has a really good website for creating custom configurations."
"Devo helps us to unlock the full power of our data because they have more than 450 parsers, which means that we can ingest pretty much any type of log data."
"Even if it's a relatively technical tool or platform, it's very intuitive and graphical. It's very appealing in terms of the user interface. The UI has a graphically interface with the raw data in a table. The table can be as big as you want it, depending on your use case. You can easily get a report combining your data, along with calculations and graphical dashboards. You don't need a lot of training, because the UI is relatively very intuitive."
"The strength of Devo is not only in that it is pretty intuitive, but it gives you the flexibility and creativity to merge feeds. The prime examples would be using the synthesis or union tables that give you phenomenal capabilities... The ability to use a synthesis or union table to combine all those feeds and make heads or tails of what's going on, and link it to go down a thread, is functionality that I hadn't seen before."
"The querying and the log-retention capabilities are pretty powerful. Those provide some of the biggest value-add for us."
"It offers the capability to view live log ingestion directly from the console which means you can seamlessly manage live log data ingestion alongside accessing and analyzing older data from the past."
"I have only heard the best about CrowdStrike's support."
"Falcon LogScale seems to be a better option with better visibility when it comes to the dashboard and the kill chain process, including the attack surface."
"The biggest advantages of Falcon LogScale are the speed at which the queries return to you and the ease of use."
"Falcon LogScale's insights give you a lot of information that an expert already thought would be valuable for you."
"One of the key features is the fast search functionality, enabling us to get results within a few seconds."
"The fast search and index-free data retention are very valuable."
"Falcon LogScale offers excellent features, with scalability being the most notable, and the search speed stands out to me as particularly good."
 

Cons

"I would like to have the ability to create more complex dashboards."
"Some third-parties don't have specific API connectors built, so we had to work with Devo to get the logs and parse the data using custom parsers, rather than an out-of-the-box solution."
"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."
"We only use the core functionality and one of the reasons for this is that their security operation center needs improvement."
"From our experience, the Devo agent needs some work. They built it on top of OS Query's open-source framework. It seems like it wasn't tuned properly to handle a large volume of Windows event logs. In our experience, there would definitely be some room for improvement. A lot of SIEMs on the market have their own agent infrastructure. I think Devo's working towards that, but I think that it needs some improvement as far as keeping up with high-volume environments."
"The tools in Devo's active ports need enhancement in their investigative capabilities."
"They can improve their AI capabilities"
"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."
"One area of Falcon LogScale that I think could be improved is that it is a bit complex."
"The integration could improve."
"CrowdStrike support is not good."
"There are some overlapping features found in multiple tools."
"KQL is a bit challenging for us."
"The price could be lower."
"That is a difficult question regarding Falcon LogScale. That is really a question for the professionals, and I am not a professional, so I do not know."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Be cautious of metadata inclusion for log types in pricing, as there are some "gotchas" with that."
"We have an OEM agreement with Devo. It is very similar to the standard licensing agreement because we are charged in the same way as any other customer, e.g., we use the backroom."
"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."
"I'm not involved in the financial aspect, but I think the licensing costs are similar to other solutions. If all the solutions have a similar cost, Devo provides more for the money."
"Devo was very cost-competitive... Devo did come with that 400 days of hot data, and that was not the case with other products."
"The way Devo prices things is based on the amount of data, and I wish the tiers had more granularity. Maybe at this point they do, but when we first negotiated with them, there were only three or four tiers."
"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."
