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 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."
"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."
"Those 400 days of hot data mean that people can look for trends and at what happened in the past. And they can not only do so from a security point of view, but even for operational use cases. In the past, our operational norm was to keep live data for only 30 days. Our users were constantly asking us for at least 90 days, and we really couldn't even do that. That's one reason that having 400 days of live data is pretty huge. As our users start to use it and adopt this system, we expect people to be able to do those long-term analytics."
"In traditional BI solutions, you need to wait a lot of time to have the ability to create visualizations with the data and to do searches. With this kind of platform, you have that information in real-time."
"It is a joy to partner and be able to work with this kind of system."
"The alerting is much better than I anticipated. We don't get as many alerts as I thought we would, but that nobody's fault, it's just the way it is."
"Overall, I have no issues with it and my guys love it."
"Having one integrated tool helped us by removing the multiple teams, multiple pieces of equipment, and multiple software solutions from the equation."
"The fast search and index-free data retention are very valuable."
"The biggest advantages of Falcon LogScale are the speed at which the queries return to you and the ease of use."
"One of the key features is the fast search functionality, enabling us to get results within a few seconds."
"Falcon LogScale's insights give you a lot of information that an expert already thought would be valuable for you."
"Falcon LogScale stores logs without heavy indexing and searches directly, making it very fast."
"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."
"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."
"Falcon LogScale offers excellent features, with scalability being the most notable, and the search speed stands out to me as particularly good."
 

Cons

"Some of the documentation could be improved a little bit. A lot of times it doesn't go as deep into some of the critical issues you might run into. They've been really good to shore us up with support, but some of the documentation could be a little bit better."
"They can improve their AI capabilities"
"I would like to have the ability to create more complex dashboards."
"There is room for improvement in the ability to parse different log types. I would go as far as to say the product is deficient in its ability to parse multiple, different log types, including logs from major vendors that are supported by competitors."
"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."
"The price is one problem with Devo."
"The Activeboards feature is not as mature regarding the look and feel. Its functionality is mature, but the look and feel is not there. For example, if you have some data sets and are trying to get some graphics, you cannot change anything. There's just one format for the graphics. You cannot change the size of the font, the font itself, etc."
"One major area for improvement for Devo... is to provide more capabilities around pre-built monitoring."
"The integration could improve."
"One area of Falcon LogScale that I think could be improved is that it is a bit complex."
"The price could be lower."
"CrowdStrike support is not good."
"There are some overlapping features found in multiple tools."
"One more point about areas for improvement is the visualization depth. Splunk, which I used, has very good visualization compared to Falcon LogScale."
"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."
"KQL is a bit challenging for us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Be cautious of metadata inclusion for log types in pricing, as there are some "gotchas" with that."
"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."
"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."
"Devo was very cost-competitive... Devo did come with that 400 days of hot data, and that was not the case with other products."
"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."
"[Devo was] in the ballpark with at least a couple of the other front-runners that we were looking at. Devo is a good value and, given the quality of the product, I would expect to pay more."
"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."
"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."
