Provides effective real-time threat detection with potential for cost optimization

Some features such as device control, firewall management, and file analysis are standalone products that we need to purchase separately. If these features came out of the box within the product, it would be much more beneficial for us. Other providers such as SentinelOne include these features in their base product. We attended a CrowdStrike Falcon event where they discussed some shallow AI features, but we cannot see these in our panel yet. We work with different solutions such as Darktrace and SocRadar, where AI features are automatically displayed in our dashboards after release. However, for CrowdStrike Falcon, we cannot see these features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable feature is the fact that it's not getting in the way of our workforce and their workflow."

"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is crowdsourcing intelligence."

"There's almost no maintenance required. It's very low if there's any at all."

"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy."

"The threat intelligence is the most valuable feature."

"The main feature we rely on is the product's intelligence. We appreciate the advice from the team during implementation. One of the main reasons we chose this product is its compatibility with Office 365."

"The most valuable feature is that we don't need to re-image machines as much as we had to."

"Cyberattack detection is very good. We use it for detecting different vulnerabilities, such as ransomware, virus, and malware. It is a good product today when compared to Symantec that we used previously."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"The most valuable feature of Datto EDR is the visibility of the endpoints."

"The insight that the solution provides is the most valuable aspect. The security scanning they do is excellent."

"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is a perfect product for endpoint security."

"The ease of deployment has been good."

Cons

"The solution isn't known in my market. The brand isn't as recognizable. Their shortcomings are more on the marketing side."

"I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better."

"CrowdStrike Suites and the way that it bundles things can be a bit challenging. It should be easier to integrate with the other stuff that they sell or be included with what they sell. We have one piece, then they are talking about another piece on vulnerability management all of the sudden, and we don't own that piece. We can see it in the console, but nothing shows up. It simply appears within the tool as an option, but we can't use it without purchasing it."

"Any kind of integration that you want to do, such as using the API to connect to a SIEM, is complex and it will be expensive to do."

"A year and a half ago or more, if you put in a support request by email, then it wasn't timely addressed. It could be a day to three days before you received a response, which was a bit frustrating. There was a lot of customer feedback around this issue, which has been greatly refined."

"The Integration with tools, SOC tools, could be better."

"We can't do scanning audits or device blocking or application control."

"I would like a centralized deployment where I could roll out or push it to all endpoints."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"The solution should allow the automation of playbooks."

"The solution could improve by having more deployment methods."

"The inclusion of web filtering would be good."

"The deployment of the solution right now is terrible. We find it to be very bad. It could be improved enormously."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage."

"We are at about $60,000 per year."

"CrowdStrike is well priced. On a yearly basis, it costs between $60 and $100 per user."

"The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want."

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is reasonable."

"We have a yearly subscription and find the price to be good. I'd give it a rating of four out of five for price, we got a good discount."

"Years ago, when we bought CrowdStrike, you got everything it had. I was a little concerned when they broke this out into a la carte modules where you can buy EDR, Spotlight, etc., picking and choosing off the menu. I was a little worried that the solution would get watered down. However, I realized in my previous organization when we had the full suite that there were a bunch of features in it that we didn't have time to operationalize. So, I warmed up to it. I get the whole, "Look, you can pick and choose. Okay, everybody buys a steak, but do you want mashed potatoes, or do you want lobster mac and cheese?" So, you can pick the sides that you want, so you can buy the solution that you want and operationalize versus paying a lot of money and getting a bunch of things, but not using 60 percent of the tools in the box."

"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
