Featured Reviews

Marc Chapel - PeerSpot reviewer
Stable product with efficient features for listing vulnerabilities
I recommend BitSight because it is very convenient to use. It has become a standard tool used in many companies. It is easy to share a few components of an algorithm for users. It is not ideal as it only reflects some of the reality of Internet-facing applications. However, it is the best solution at the moment. I rate it an eight out of ten.
Waleed Omar - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The solution is user-friendly."
"Its customer service team responds quickly."
"Offers open ports from an external point of view."
"The best thing about BitSight is the comprehensive list of risk vectors, covering compromised systems, diligence failures, and behavioral anomalies."
"I prefer BitSight due to its patch management capabilities. The score is a valuable feature. I have contacted the customer support through e-mail and their response rate is fast. I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The product helps us identify the vulnerabilities of internet-facing applications."
"Everything is automatic. I install the sensor and renew the service. Periodically, I get a notice that they've shut something down."
"We are happy with CloudStrike's ease of use and touch notification."
"The CrowdStrike Falcon dashboard is good, and we haven't had any problems with it."
"The malware protection is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The detection is very reliable. Also, OverWatch is a great feature."
"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."
"The detection is very effective."
"CrowdStrike enables the infrastructure managers to visualize all the events and get information about the network."
 

Cons

"BitSight could improve the classes and lower-level detections of anomalies that compound the information used to compute the rating."
"Data enrichment is the major issue."
"At the moment, when the vulnerability score decreases, it remains the same for quite a while, even though issues are resolved in 24 hours."
"Its factor analysis feature could be better."
"The solution’s benchmarking should be improved."
"There may be room for improvement in the methodology for identifying findings, as occasional errors occur on the technical side."
"I'm concerned about the recent issue that involved a faulty update."
"They need to strengthen the forensic capabilities of this product, for e-discovery."
"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."
"For CrowdStrike to work, all the machines need to have an internet connection. This makes it challenging to assist customers without an internet connection. We would like to have a mechanism or relay to make this possible."
"I would like to see equal support across all versions. Aside from that, I would say most of the features are there."
"Unfortunately, native applications are not supported."
"The console is not user-friendly or visually appealing and has room for improvement."
"Currently, I do not see any tangible benefits from CrowdStrike regarding incident improvement time, response time, or cost saving."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has a reasonable price."
"The solution's price is average."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
"We are at about $60,000 per year."
"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."
"Our licensing fees were between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, which was pretty expensive for a small business."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon could be better. It is very expensive, we pay approximately $900 per month for the licenses. There are not any additional fees."
"I'm not directly involved in sales, so I can't comment on the exact price, but I know the price decreases the higher the quantity we purchase."
"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.""
