Sasquatch vs CrowdStrike

Your security data,
in your own cloud.

Cut compute and storage by more than 80% — losslessly, in the cloud you already own.

CrowdStrike NG-SIEM keeps your logs in its cloud on a per-GB meter, layered with a stack of Falcon modules. Sasquatch delivers the same detection coverage losslessly in the bucket you already own — at a lower total cost.

100 GB / day of security logs (~3 TB/mo) · annual list · every figure traces to a published rate.

And a fraction of the total CrowdStrike bill — lossless, in the cloud you already own.

01Where the bill goes

One line item, not a meter stack.

The CrowdStrike bill splits across a stack of separately metered line items. Sasquatch is one rate on the compressed bytes you keep — the same workload, a fraction of the footprint. Each block is a real line item; the length is its share.

02The meter stack

One rate. Per-GB plus the module stack.

The same workload, two monthly statements. One is a single line you can forecast to the byte; the other is a stack of meters, each on its own unit, re-negotiated at every renewal.

03The compression

3 TB in. 20 GB out.

The full bar is the raw workload. The fill is what actually survives to disk after each product compresses it — shorter is cheaper to store, forever.

Where each tool wins.

Sasquatch ships 3,700+ detections out of the box, MITRE ATT&CK-mapped, with UEBA, threat intel, voice, and agentic AI investigation, all on lossless retention in your own cloud. The incumbents meter you per GB-day or per-MPS and keep your data in theirs.
