Cyber Security Software Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

Automated alerting and reporting excel while cost and feature limitations remain

I find automation to be one of the best and most valuable features of the product. Machine learning is incorporated into the solution, though AI is a broader term that I wouldn't apply here. I haven't personally explored AI yet, but I will investigate it. Machine learning functions more as automation in my experience, as there's no training involved yet. I want to conduct R&D on another project with Wazuh to determine how to capture usage, for example, tracking user logins and time spent. This is where I need to implement machine learning. Additionally, the extraction of GeoIP adds complexity. The solution is effectively reducing incident response times in operations.

Strategic Account Executive at a computer software company with 51-200 employees

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have found the solution has great functionality and it is easy to use."

"One valuable feature of ConnectWise Fortify is the ability to add other teams and receive notifications when customers make changes or remove multi-factor authentication in Microsoft or SAP environments."

"The integration capabilities of ConnectWise SIEM are off the shelf, making it easy to buy and use; you just unpack it and use it."

"We have found the solution has great functionality and it is easy to use."

"Devo has a really good website for creating custom configurations."

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

"Devo provides a multi-tenant, cloud-native architecture. This is critical for managed service provider environments or multinational organizations who may have subsidiaries globally. It gives organizations a way to consolidate their data in a single accessible location, yet keep the data separate. This allows for global views and/or isolated views restricted by access controls by company or business unit."

"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."

"Being able to build and modify dashboards on the fly with Activeboards streamlines my analyst time because my analysts aren't doing it across spreadsheets or five different tools to try to build a timeline out themselves. They can just ingest it all, build a timeline out across all the logging, and all the different information sources in one dashboard. So, it's a huge time saver. It also has the accuracy of being able to look at all those data sources in one view. The log analysis, which would take 40 hours, we can probably get through it in about five to eight hours using Devo."

"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 most powerful feature is the way the data is stored and extracted. The data is always stored in its original format and you can normalize the data after it has been stored."

"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."

More Devo pros

Cons

"ConnectWise Fortify could work on covering more areas, like phishing messages, which have become more complicated to detect."

"The manage portion of the solution is complicated and should be simplified by having different versions to meet the needs of different size companies."

"ConnectWise SIEM is primarily focused on notifications and is limited in that aspect, while Wazuh can automate the elimination process."

"The manage portion of the solution is complicated and should be simplified by having different versions to meet the needs of different size companies."

"One major area for improvement for Devo... is to provide more capabilities around pre-built monitoring. They're working on integrations with different types of systems, but that integration needs to go beyond just onboarding to the platform. It needs to include applications, out-of-the-box, that immediately help people to start monitoring their systems. Such applications would include dashboards and alerts, and then people could customize them for their own needs so that they aren't starting from a blank slate."

"The tools in Devo's active ports need enhancement in their investigative capabilities."

"Some basic reporting mechanisms have room for improvement. Customers can do analysis by building Activeboards, Devo’s name for interactive dashboards. This capability is quite nice, but it is not a reporting engine. Devo does provide mechanisms to allow third-party tools to query data via their API, which is great. However, a lot of folks like or want a reporting engine, per se, and Devo simply doesn't have that. This may or may not be by design."

"I would like to have the ability to create more complex dashboards."

"Devo has a lot of cloud connectors, but they need to do a little bit of work there."

"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."

"We only use the core functionality and one of the reasons for this is that their security operation center needs improvement."

"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."

More Devo cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."

"Be cautious of metadata inclusion for log types in pricing, as there are some "gotchas" with that."

"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."

"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] 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."

"It's a per gigabyte cost for ingestion of data. For every gigabyte that you ingest, it's whatever you negotiated your price for. Compared to other contracts that we've had for cloud providers, it's significantly less."

"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."

"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."
