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…

Efficient threat detection and seamless deployment improve overall security
The single panel console of CrowdStrike Falcon is very user-friendly, which is what we are looking for. Having multiple administrators between various offices with this single console gives us the ability to see all offices, branch offices, and partners, making it very useful to detect machines, identify machines, and check security risks. Everything in the single console is very useful. CrowdStrike Falcon has positively impacted our organization in terms of efficiency because it's very lightweight, easy to deploy, easy to manage, and works very efficiently. It quickly detects issues and doesn't have a signature-based system, so it works fast and takes immediate action.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The simplicity of implementation is valuable."
"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."
"Easy to use, intelligent, and stable threat detection software."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is a very light solution. It does not use too much processor or RAM."
"It allows us to determine root cause, do the analysis, a lot quicker."
"The best benefit of CrowdStrike Falcon is 99% MITRE coverage."
"I find nothing to miss in terms of stability; there are no glitches, and the solution is stable."
"The feature that I find to be the most valuable, is being able to look at the system analysis and being able to baseline what is installed on the system."
"My advice for others is to purchase the solution it is simple to use and effective."
"It has an extremely low footprint, so it has got minimum impact on the user end points in terms of CPU and memory usage."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"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."
"It does take more time to scan than other solutions."
"This solution is relatively expensive."
"The support for different OS versions needs improvement because sometimes due to business conditions, updating our OS is impossible."
"The biggest issue occurred when every computer worldwide experienced a blue screen."
"On the firewall management side, there should be more granularity. There should also be more granularity for device control. Everything else is brilliant."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"I would like them to improve the correlation of data in the search algorithms. When we run an investigation, malware, phishing, etc., I want to look at multiple endpoints at once to correlate that data to see the likenesses, e.g., how are they not alike or what systems and processes are running across those systems? I don't want to have to run the same search in their Spotlight module five, 10, 15, or 100 times to get 100 different results, copy that data out, and then correlate it on my own. In a very simple way, I want to be able to load up a comma-delimited list giving me the spotlight data on these X amount of hosts, letting me search for it quickly. We have had to go back to CrowdStrike, and say, "Our search are taking far too long for even one host." They did bump up the cores and that did improve performance, but it is still kind of slow to get that Spotlight data. That is probably our biggest pain point. I think that needs some help. I understand this kind of information access is probably not the easiest thing to do. It is probably a big ask depending on how their back-end is setup."
"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."
"Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace is just a click away. Since we were using the on-premise version of the product, we continued on the cloud by purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace."
"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."
"Annual licensing."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive than other EDR solutions with similar features."
"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."
"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."
"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."
