System Engineer at a healthcare company with 11-50 employees
Automated SaaS access governance has reduced OAuth risks and improves audit readiness
The best features are deep OAuth app visibility, real-time risk detection, automated remediation, risk scoring and prioritization, and SaaS-to-SaaS threat detection. The real-time risk detection and alerts have benefited us the most. Astrix continuously monitors connections and third-party apps, flagging high-risk applications automatically when risky permission, suspicious behavior, or unusual access patterns are detected. This helped us considerably. Since deploying Astrix, we've seen a 42% reduction in high-risk third-party OAuth apps, a 65% reduction in dormant SaaS integration, faster vendor offboarding from days to an hour, and improved audit readiness. The faster offboarding has been transformative. Before Astrix, offboarding was mostly manual and checklist-driven. When an employee or vendor left, we would disable their primary account, remove them from groups, manually review shared drives, and try to identify third-party apps they had authorized. After Astrix, it is centralized, automated, and immediate.

Centralized endpoint protection has strengthened compliance and accelerated incident response
There are a number of areas that I only touch a handful of times, but when I get in there, I realize why I don't do that. The main area would be within the support area. The support bot is not really as smart as you would expect it, especially in this day and age of LLM and other capabilities that I know CrowdStrike Falcon is already capable of doing. Additionally, I would appreciate a little bit more easy to read insights of some of the dashboards or maybe manipulation of the dashboards. It is still a little cumbersome to build custom dashboards and it's not as intuitive as you would think. Documentation is abysmal and needs to be improved dramatically. I know that there's a big effort to do this, however, even the new effort is honestly worse than it was before. Those are definitely major areas of improvement, just more in the usability of the features.

Pros

"Since deploying Astrix, we've seen a 42% reduction in high-risk third-party OAuth apps, a 65% reduction in dormant SaaS integration, faster vendor offboarding from days to an hour, and improved audit readiness."
"Astrix offers excellent observability features that track the user query, what the user sent, what prompt was sent to the LLM, what the LLM response sent, what retrieval documents were checked, and what tools were called, along with the final response."
"We went from having zero visibility to complete third-party integration visibility, which helps us considerably."
"Using CrowdStrike Falcon has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats because it is much easier to use than any tool I have used before."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers a comprehensive dashboard that is highly effective in protecting against and blocking external infiltration attempts."
"The most useful feature is that we do not need to install or keep signature files. Regular scanning that consumes a lot of computer resources is not needed."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable features are the lightweight agent which has absolutely zero performance issues. There is no performance deterioration on the laptop on the network. It is a signature-less antivirus and anti-malware solution, it doesn't depend on signatures which better protects the systems."
"The CrowdStrike Falcon dashboard is good, and we haven't had any problems with it."
"Using CrowdStrike Falcon has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats by changing the response time and reducing the number of employees needed for monitoring."
"Using CrowdStrike Falcon has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats."
"CrowdStrike Falcon features are robust and reliable."
 

Cons

"Customer support could be improved so that faster support on services would attract more customers."
"Astrix could be improved with deeper coverage on on-premises and hybrid application environments."
"Astrix is good regarding its accuracy and reliability of output, but the initial setup feels somewhat complex."
"They don't really have anything when it comes to scanning attachments."
"The installation process for this software needs to be simplified."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the license is expensive since it is based on per host."
"There are a lot of open integrations, but they are external factors that cause dependencies on the integrator, not really on CrowdStrike, so it's a bit of a challenge as there is no comprehensive solution."
"In the six months that I have been using CrowdStrike, it has not been able to detect anything."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve if it became an XDR. When we look only to an end-point, we lost the context of the environment. I know it's another line of design of the product. However, if CrowdStrike becomes an XDR, it could be very good."
"I think CrowdStrike Falcon could be improved by making the interface more modern and simpler."
"The product is quite expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"When it comes to licensing, customers can choose a bundle or select licences based on the specific features they would like access to. This solution comes with premium pricing. It is approximately 20 to 30% more expensive than competing solutions."
"The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want."
"The solution's pricing is great for us."
"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."
"Annual licensing."
"The pricing and licensing are fairly good. It is definitely not a cheap product, but I have felt that it is worth the money that we spent. So, we have discussed it in the past, and were like, "Yes, it is probably pricier than some other solutions, but we also feel they really are the leader. We are very comfortable with their level of expertise. So, it's kind of worth the price that we pay.""
