The solution is easy to implement, but the scalability and technical support must be improved
The solution is used for endpoint security The simplicity of implementation is valuable. The way the management file is integrated into the environment must be improved. Currently, I am using the solution. The tool is stable. We did not have any issues with it. I rate the tool’s scalability a…

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easy to implement and is very scalable, it also comes with very good documentation, and Cisco provides good technical support as well."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with firewalls. It's integrated with AMP so the ecosystem with equal solutions from Threat Grid is good with CISCO products."
"The simplicity of implementation is valuable."
"CrowdStrike is a great solution."
"It provides very good protection and the ability to crosscheck environments."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats because instead of using telemetry recovered from multiple endpoints in different formats, we now have visibility across the entire network using only CrowdStrike telemetry."
"Most of our customers in my country use CrowdStrike Falcon, and ever since then, they do not have serious incidents, such as a ransomware that has taken effect on all their critical infrastructures, including servers."
"I have found the connection to search the hosts for detections very useful in CrowdStrike Falcon."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has helped my customers predict and prevent potential breaches because of its proactive approach."
"The most valuable features of Crowdstrike Falcon XDR are Spotlight and Discovery, they are helpful. Additionally, the console is user-friendly, with fewer false positives than other solutions."
"What differentiates CrowdStrike Falcon from other cybersecurity platforms I have used or evaluated is that it is more intuitive, more agile, and less cumbersome, giving us readily available information along with better handling of intelligence."
 

Cons

"They come in and have multiple management solutions but it doesn't scan or doesn't have the ability to look at every file extension."
"There are other competitors who do it better. They have a better market share and you can see they have better visibility on the fleet."
"Support must be improved."
"I was told that the user interface could be more user friendly and easy in comparison to that of competitors. I remember that there is a competitor who has a much easier interface for many users to interact with."
"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."
"I would like to see a more accurate integration and an option to check the local machine."
"If we have a dashboard capability to uninstall agents, I think that would be great."
"There are some aspects of the UI that could use some improvement, e.g., working in groups. I build a group, then I have to manually assign prevention policies, update policies, etc., but there is no function to copy that group. So, if I wanted to make a subgroup for troubleshooting or divide workstations into groups of laptops and desktops, then I have to manually build a brand new group. I can't just copy a build from one to another. Additionally, in order to do any work within a group, I have to first do the work on the respective prevention policy page or individual policy page, then remove the group if the group is assigned to a different prevention policy, remove the prevention policy, and then add the new one in. So, it can get a little hectic. It would be easier if I could add and remove things from the group page rather than having to go into the policy pages to do it."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be improved by continuing to adapt to everything that is going on with AI and other developments in the world."
"CrowdStrike costs a little more than its competitors."
"One thing that is not yet available is attack simulation."
"If CrowdStrike can further expand its support for XDR compatibility, that would give it an edge over all the other competing new products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If I remember correctly, the licensing cost is a little bit higher than that of the competitor."
"We bought a very small number of licenses, then ran it for a year. We bought a 100 licenses for a year, so we didn't actually do a proof of concept. We just bought them. Then, the next year, we bought 10,000 licenses."
"We pay between $30-50 per user for a yearly license, which is more expensive than SentinelOne or Bitdefender. However, CrowdStrike gives better value for money."
"The price is fixed with no room for negotiation."
"This solution has a very competitive price."
"The solution's pricing is great for us."
"As I'm part of the technical team, not the budgeting team, I don't have information on CrowdStrike Falcon pricing."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon could be reduced. It is quite expensive if you compare it to other solutions, such as Blue Coat, Symantec, McAfee, or Kaspersky."
"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
