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

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 EDR and XDR features have been most valuable."
"The detection and response console is the most valuable feature."
"We have a small IT Team, and this allows us to get sleep at night, knowing that someone else is taking care of any incidents that occur."
"The most valuable aspects of CrowdStrike Falcon for me are its device observability, identification, and software and OS recognition."
"The product provides good monitoring features."

Cons

"The console is not user-friendly or visually appealing and has room for improvement."

"The management reporting functionality needs to be improved."

"One thing that is not yet available is attack simulation."
"This solution could be improved with greater scope for admins to make changes to the solution."
"CS Falcon sensing capabilities for non-domain machines should be enhanced since the agent doesn't detect the neighbor's IP Address and/or any anomaly which was identified in the network for the non-domain machine."
"The pricing is a bit too high."
"Tenable Identity Exposure is more expensive than Defender for Identity."
