A robust and effective EDR solution that mitigates threats quickly
I am a cybersecurity analyst, responsible for conducting log and user activity analysis, managing and escalating support tickets, and overseeing performance monitoring, phishing analysis, and incident response for the company's systems. We use CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security as our primary…

Reliable with no false-positives and helpful support
There's a lot of improvement possible, however, most of it is in the details. I personally like the concept, as it's pretty straightforward and the product is not trying to overload functionality. It's a clean and straightforward approach. You know what you get. Most of the improvements are detail improvements. They're pretty open to future requests as well, so we send them a lot of suggestions. For example, at the moment, they have something called Battleground. That's a visualization of the network, and it's a visualization of the attack paths that are possible. The program uses so-called scenarios, and we say, "Okay, I'm watching traffic for maybe 24 hours," and then you get a result for that scenario, what happens in that time with what the attack paths are, et cetera. The result of the same scenario yesterday or tomorrow may be different as something might change. In that, one of the things I'm currently missing, which is on the list to be added, is some kind of diff visualization. For example, showing a two-screen split of activity. On the left side of the screen, that's how it was yesterday; on the right side, that's how it is today; and here are the differences. We'd like to see a cheaper price.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features."
"The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable."
"It's easy to gather insights and conduct analysis about existing threats."
"Technical support is helpful."
"It is fully cloud-based, so we don't need to invest in third-party agents repeatedly."
"The RTR feature stands out as particularly valuable to me due to its capability to log into machines."
"The most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability."
"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."
"The platform's most valuable feature is attack simulation."
"What I personally like very much, from my experience, is that it is very reliable."
 

Cons

"The UI part needs to be improved."
"The CrowdStrike partner portal documentation could be improved to provide proper instructions for integrating their products."
"Incorporating threat intelligence into the system would be a valuable addition."
"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
"One area for improvement in Falcon Cloud Security is the support portal."
"The only challenge lies in token verification."
"The CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field."
"It gets the work done, but the main problem with the solution is that if you remediate anything, it takes 45 days for you to get any of the features displayed on the dashboard. This is the real weakness of CrowdStrike. Their customer support is also not ready to help with it. If you remediate any cloud vulnerability that they are giving you, such as removing a host from your organization, it takes around 45 days for them to remove it from their console."
"XM Cyber could identify all areas of vulnerability. They could expand the identification span for different areas."
"We'd like to see a cheaper price."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."
"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
"Its price is moderate."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
"The pricing is reasonable, neither overly expensive nor excessively cheap, making it competitive compared to other market options."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."
"We have to pay standard licensing fees."
