Devo has the best features for us because we store close to two terabytes a day of data, and it has come in handy for that as I don't find the system to really lag.

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.

Devo has positively impacted our organization because we have been using only one tool for our centralized logging systems.

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.

It centralizes security management within a business, functioning as a core system for a SOC.

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.

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

The cost is a little higher compared to other tools such as DataDog or Elasticsearch, so they could work on reducing costs.

One improvement area for Devo could be simplifying some configuration and improving the onboarding for new analysts because it is quite complex for fresher or new analysts who are handling Devo.

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.
