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.

Dashboard personalization enhances troubleshooting capabilities
A valuable feature of VMware Aria Operations for Logs is its ability to allow personalization of dashboards and requests. This personalization capability is crucial because it helps tailor the tool to specific needs. It also has many effective features for log analysis, making it a competent tool despite not having a comprehensive comparison with other tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have only heard the best about CrowdStrike's support."
"Falcon LogScale offers excellent features, with scalability being the most notable, and the search speed stands out to me as particularly good."
"One of the key features is the fast search functionality, enabling us to get results within a few seconds."
"Falcon LogScale stores logs without heavy indexing and searches directly, making it very fast."
"Falcon LogScale's insights give you a lot of information that an expert already thought would be valuable for you."
"The biggest advantages of Falcon LogScale are the speed at which the queries return to you and the ease of use."
"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."
"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."
"The setup costs can sometimes be a bit expensive but I think for the technology they are offering it's top of the mark."
"The system's management and its alerts are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"The trace log is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very helpful in troubleshooting problems."
"It gives the customer a quick overview, so they don't have to dig. There's a clear dashboard with many sensors in a single space. He gets a helicopter view of his environment, but he can investigate further if there are serious issues. It's pretty user-friendly."
"One of the most valuable features of vRealize Log Insight is that it gives you a clear forecast about your existing machines, for example, how long your machines could be supported and how long the remaining capacity is to host your machines. This is one of the best options available within vRealize Log Insight. Another valuable feature of the solution is automation. My company deploys a lot of automation when required in a very, very short period, and in a very uniform manner, and even if the automation is being deployed for different processes and departments, it's pretty much the same across the environment, so vRealize Log Insight helps reduce a lot of ambiguities and helps my company manage operational efficiencies well."
"The most valuable features are log centralization and long-term retention for logs."
"I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten."
"The interface of the solution is good."
 

Cons

"One more point about areas for improvement is the visualization depth. Splunk, which I used, has very good visualization compared to Falcon LogScale."
"KQL is a bit challenging for us."
"The price could be lower."
"CrowdStrike support is not good."
"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."
"There are some overlapping features found in multiple tools."
"One area of Falcon LogScale that I think could be improved is that it is a bit complex."
"The integration could improve."
"The tool could benefit from improved filter settings and dashboarding."
"They should improve their web interface to make it more user-friendly."
"I think that it should be able to integrate with other third-party backup and recovery solutions, more that it does now."
"Log Insight should be better at dealing with audits and security logs. We use another product called QRadar for that."
"vRealize Log Insight has very limited integration and is primarily designed for VMware environments."
"Integration with other vendors is something that could be improved, they could add more vendors."
"I give it a seven because it isn't easy to scale, and the cost is too high, but it's a good product overall."
"The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Pricing could always be lower. If it were free, I would be more satisfied."
"Pricing is good because it is part of the suite package. It comes in a bundle for us."
"The license cost for any other monitoring tool is too high compared to this product."
"It is not cheap. But it is worth it."
"I am not sure what the exact cost is. However, I believe the vRealize suite costs $2,500.00 per year."
"The product's price is reasonable, but when it comes to SQL licensing, it's a bit expensive."
"The pricing has been updated recently."
