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 product helps us identify the vulnerabilities of internet-facing applications."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"Its customer service team responds quickly."
"I like Falcon's threat detection and endpoint investigation features. It's a user-friendly solution."
"I like the detection rates of mobile threats."
"It has an extremely low footprint, so it has got minimum impact on the user end points in terms of CPU and memory usage."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The key aspect of CrowdStrike Falcon is its behavioral detection approach."
"The malware protection is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The initial setup is a very fast process."
"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."
 

Cons

"Its factor analysis feature could be better."
"There may be room for improvement in the methodology for identifying findings, as occasional errors occur on the technical side."
"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."
"The solution’s benchmarking should be improved."
"The ability to receive text alerts natively in the console would be kind of cool."
"I would rate it an eight out of ten. It does what it needs to do but there's always room for improvement."
"We encounter occasional issues, such as when disabling network access for a host that uses CrowdStrike."
"It can be expensive depending on the features you select."
"It does take more time to scan than other solutions."
"I have worked with their technical support on several problems that were never fully resolved."
"Sometimes CrowdStrike changes the GUI, and they need to be better at informing us and providing guidance concerning that."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has a reasonable price."
"The solution's price is average."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."
"The solution's pricing is great for us."
"The price is too high."
"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."
"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is one of the more expensive endpoint solutions on the market."
