Devo Scalability

JB
Security Engineer at Kforce

It's great. That's the reason we like it. It offers us so many tools that we're building out even more in our toolset. It gives us things we didn't have in the past, such as some of the SOAR capabilities and things like SecOps.

We don't see any issues with scalability. It scales by itself. That is one of the reasons we also wanted to move to another product. We needed scalability and something that was auto-scalable.

In the beginning, there were not more than 20 to 25 users. However, our objective remains to get 100 people on the product. We add them little by little due to the nature of our projects.

In terms of scalability, it's a product well-focused on expansion. As a SaaS, they provide you more architecture, more machines in terms of performance, et cetera. We're quite happy with its capability to expand.

In terms of scalability, we are able to ingest as much or as little data as we want, so that is really awesome. I've been pretty amazed at how much we're able to throw at it. We can expand as much as we want to suit our needs, obviously within the confines of the subscription agreement. There is a data cap, but within that limit, we can really go crazy. The scalability is awesome. It's very scalable.

There are about 50 or so users on the platform right now. We have our SOC analysts at different levels that just perform investigative activities. The majority of our clients on the platform are our security operations center analysts. They have different privileges based on their roles. We give them the ability to create test alerts if they're trying something out.

We have various other team members throughout our corporation using it, only two or three here and there. We have three individuals from our networking team, a couple of individuals from IT support that often utilize the platform to investigate user lockout and stuff like that. Of course, we have the engineers in the platform which have been five or six individuals. The main user base is our SOC analysts.

We do maintenance for our servers and such. We don't really have them on the platform at the moment. They have their own kind of tools. They utilize their graphs to monitor the health of our infrastructure, but that may be something at some point in the future that we may be pursuing. The more teams that we get into our SIEM, the better because it really justifies the usage of the tool. Right now, as far as from a maintenance perspective, the only IT staff that would be using it for that sort of thing would be our networking team. And we have about three individuals that we just recently onboarded, so they're just getting used to the platform.

Devo is mostly being used for security logs. There's a push to start using this not only for security monitoring but for infrastructure health monitoring as well. So we're starting with the networking team. We really are still in phase one of really fleshing Devo out, adding more enhancements and alerts. My primary role is to support the security operations center, to support the security aspect of things but I haven't heard if it's set in stone yet. I would say that we are definitely going to try to push to utilize Devo more throughout our organization for health monitoring and for the networking team to use. Perhaps at some point in the future, we would expand our usage. It's not set in stone yet, but I could definitely see that happening.

It should be able to grow as we need it to. It is a SaaS solution, so if we need more data we just purchase more bandwidth.

The size of our environment is about 14,000 users, globally, and about 20,000 endpoints.

SVP of Managed Security at CRITICALSTART

We haven't run into any major scalability problems with the solution. It has continued to scale and perform well for query. The one scalability problem that we have encountered has to do with multi-tenancy at scale for solutions integrating SecOps. Devo is still working to bring to market these features to allow multi-tenancy for us in this area. As a result, we have had to implement our own security, correlation rules, and content. That has been a struggle at scale for us, in comparison to using quality built-in, vendor content for SecOps, which has not yet been delivered for us.

There are somewhere between 45 to 55 security analysts and security engineers who use it daily.

It is very scalable. We have worked with Devo to design architectures that can go from a single terabyte to100 terabyte-plus daily ingestion of data. It is purpose built to maximize the advantages of the cloud infrastructure to scale.

The solution seems scalable, though we're a small shop, so we're probably not the best to answer that well.

We have 400-450 end users across three locations.

JH
Director at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees

The scalability is unlimited, as far as I can tell. It's just a matter of how much money you have in your back pocket that you're willing to spend. The cost is based on log ingestion rate and how much retention. They're running in public cloud meaning it's unlimited capacity. And scaling is instantaneous.

Right now, we've got about 22 people in the platform. It will end up being anywhere between 200 and 400 when we're done, including software engineers, systems engineers, security engineers, and network operations teams for all of our mobile and telecommunications platforms. We'll have a wide variety of roles that are already defined. And on a limited basis, our customer support teams can go in and see what's going on.

JG
Manager of Security Services at OpenText

Scaling has been easy. It's cloud, so you just keep dumping data at it. I haven't seen any issues.

I have six or seven people who maintain and log into it, using it for analysis and everything else. Everyone is capable of doing the same thing on it. We also have customers who log into it to look at their data. There are about 25 people who have access over all the tenants.

It's definitely being fully utilized. It is 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.

Director of World Wide Security Services at Open Text

As scalability is tied to AWS, this is a very scalable product. This means that we are able to quickly and easily offer our service in other regions, outside of the United States.

The scalability is a positive point when we're talking to the larger customers. It helps that Devo does not index everything but a lot of it has to do with AWS.

We have a couple of hundred customers and each customer has a few users that access it. At each client site, there are between two and five users that have access to it.

Our plan is to increase our usage. In fact, my company is doubling down on our MDR solution, and the main core of it is Devo. Even at this point, Devo is well-utilized. I expect that in 2022, everyone in the company will be focused on it.

We have 15,000 employees and 300 product lines, and we're looking to make sense of anything that is an opportunity for cross-selling.

Director of Security Architecture & Engineering at a computer software company with 51-200 employees

It scales really well, at least from our perspective. We don't know if there are any performance issues in the back-end. As I said earlier, it could be faster. But overall, because it's a cloud-based solution, we really don't worry about scaling. We simply onboard a new customer. They go into their own tenant and their data flows up to the management MSSP tenant. We simply size the licensing accordingly, so it's super easy to scale.

There's not a high level needed to scale the solution. We have great management software that allows you to manage and get alerts on events that could create a problem in the future.

The solution has been able to scale to whatever we have thrown at. There have been zero problems scaling.

It is the primary toolset that we have settled on for our leverage service. The core of our service offering is around the solution. It is absolutely important.

From a customer's perspective, I just scale in terms of what data tier I want, but everything else is hidden from me.

CB
CISO at a computer software company with 501-1,000 employees

We bought a certain scale, a certain data-ingest-rate, and it's had no problem with that data-ingest-rate. From the PoC and the deep-dive we did, we know the system scales horizontally. We tested it. I'm quite confident that it can scale.

We're going to keep on throwing more and more data into it. After all the security data is in there, the next layer of data is going to be telemetry data from performance data. We'll monitor for things like network lag and system performance. The more operational data will be the next layer of data that goes in there, when we get there. That will probably be in the next three to six months. Right now we run on Elastic for the majority of that and we'll be looking at swapping over. It's just a matter of getting it planned out so there isn't an impact.

Digital Security VP at a tech services company with 201-500 employees

Scalability is one of the most powerful features. We started with five terabytes and we are now at 30, with almost the same performance. That is pretty scalable.

We have more than 500 users. The roles are security analysts, business users, application developers, and the IT operations team.

We plan to increase our usage in the next couple of years.

MV
Security Analyst at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees

The scalability is very good. We had some assessments from Devo and they said, "Oh, for this amount of data at the moment you will need this and this." We were kind of skeptical because the amount of hardware they asked for was way less than the old platform that was running some of the data. But I've seen some performance reports and we're very far from reaching any limits on the platform at the moment.

In our office we're not using that much data, but our colleagues in sister company are using way more than we od and they are happy. Having gone through the implementation I know a little bit about how the architecture works and I think it's built to be scalable.

In the future, over the next 12 months, we'll be using it more in terms of volume of data and how much we're using the platform. We are not utilizing very much of what it can do. We use it a lot in daily workflows, but we are not using it to the full potential yet.

JS
CEO at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees

We've never found any limitations or drawback included in the data to ingest, map, and integrate into the platform. There have been no issues with scalability.

From a machine data and ingestion perspective, it would be probably be something around a million devices. People actually using the platform is probably several tens of thousands because that's the number of our partners who have sold a Devo module at some point.

Devo is part of our performance, so the more we grow, the more we will need it as part of that blend of growth.
