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

"More than anything, we have seen ROI in the amount of time saved during investigations."

"It's a core tool for us in looking at logs, because logs are the starting point in any investigation, so leveraging Devo from start to finish in any investigation is basically what we do."

"Having one integrated tool helped us by removing the multiple teams, multiple pieces of equipment, and multiple software solutions from the equation."

"One of the biggest features of the UI is that you see the actual code of what you're doing in the graphical user interface, in a little window on the side. Whatever you're doing, you see the code, what's happening. And you can really quickly switch between using the GUI and using the code. That's really useful."

"The user experience [is] well thought out and the workflows are logical. The dashboards are intuitive and highly customizable."

"With Devo, we can eliminate swivel chair analysis among tools for a streamlined workflow that gives us the most direct path to the root cause."

"One of the immediate improvements that come to mind is the amount of hot, searchable data, as in the SIEM we had before we were only able to search back 90 days of hot, searchable data, whereas here we have 400 days worth, which has definitely improved our threat hunting capabilities."

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

More Devo pros

"It gives insights into a changing landscape, which was not possible before."

"It facilitates infrastructure readiness and consistency."

"It provides visualization of risk levels."

Cons

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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. Additionally, the time that it takes to turn around a supported parser for customers and common log source types, which are generally accepted standards in the industry, is not acceptable. This has impacted customer onboarding and customer relationships for us on multiple fronts."

"Technical support could be better."

"One major area for improvement for Devo... is to provide more capabilities around pre-built monitoring."

"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."

More Devo cons

"Alerting needs improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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 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."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."
