Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.5
USM Anywhere is scalable for small to medium businesses, but enterprise-scale deployments face data volume and speed challenges.
If there is a critical incident with an associated IP, associated user, endpoints, or whatever factor it is supposed to associate, it associates it by default and makes our life easier, making the SOC life easier.
Security Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
You could integrate as many endpoints as you want within a fraction of seconds, and it accommodates the number of resources that you integrate with it while maintaining the same response time.
Cyber Security Engineer at eprocessconsulting
When we add new log sources or suddenly increase our ingestion volume, the performance does not dip.
Soc L1 Engineer at Softcell Technologies Limited
USM Anywhere faces scalability issues because of a 60 TB limit.

Room For Improvement

Falcon LogScale needs better query language, documentation, UX, integration, scalability, AI features, support speed, and affordability improvements.
USM Anywhere needs improved performance, user interface, integration, and support, with better updates and less disruptive software changes.
For the ease of use for Falcon administrators, the same documentation on the Falcon LogScale portal should be on the CrowdStrike dashboard.
Cyber Security Engineer at eprocessconsulting
KQL is simpler when compared to SQL. However, SQL is faster and quite efficient, but the language is a bit tough.
Security Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
What they have done now is added what is called Charlotte AI, which is their new AI capabilities that can help with this.
CTO at Trust-IT Solutions
There are scalability issues due to a 60 TB limit, which restricts its use for large customers like banks.
Co-Founder/Director at Bangkok MSP Company Limited
 

Setup Cost

Falcon LogScale offers cost-effective and flexible pricing, praised for ease of deployment and competitive with major competitors.
USM Anywhere offers scalable, affordable SIEM solutions ideal for SMBs, recommended for budget-conscious enterprises over costly competitors.
I believe when it comes to log ingestion, it is comparatively low compared to any other services like Microsoft, Trend Micro, or Splunk.
Security Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
For us, it is a very cost-effective solution.
CTO at Trust-IT Solutions
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is straightforward, and the cost is quite low.

The pricing is amazing and really cheap.

You can describe what you want to do in English, and it converts it to a query language for you to use.

Traditional SIEM tools index logs, which is slow and expensive. Falcon LogScale stores logs without heavy indexing and searches directly, making it very fast.
Soc Analyst at a tech consulting company with 11-50 employees
Falcon LogScale has positively impacted my organization by providing visibility of the logs, making it easier for us to troubleshoot any issues.

Cyber Security Engineer at eprocessconsulting
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.
