Effective as a vector store, serverless architecture but there aren't enough security features
The pricing aspect is a concern. The service is way too costly. For the past month, I used only 30 to 40 MB of data, and the cost was $500. AWS could improve pricing. Even being serverless, it incurs charges during idle times. For just holding data, you need to create a list. AWS should add an option to make data idle, so it won't include computing charges. They charge for OCU units based on the time the serverless solution is up, not on indexing or retrieval speed. Once the service starts, it starts getting billed. It would help if there were an option to limit computing. When using it as a database, storing data without frequent fetching would save computing costs.

Protection improves through superior global visibility and robust cloud integration
CrowdStrike Observability is especially useful when using a multi-cloud environment. Although it is expensive, the protection level it provides justifies the price. For users on Google Cloud, I prefer using Google's GTI technology. Overall, I would rate CrowdStrike Observability as nine out of ten. I rate the overall solution as nine.
