Secures the business for customers quickly and accurately
It secures the business for the customers. For instance, if any phishing emails come into the environment and employees see it, we direct the email to Triage. The Triage system will investigate it through AI technology to see if it's a phishing email or not. If it is a phishing email, it will quarantine it and erase it from the environment.
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.

Pros

"For instance, if any phishing emails come into the environment and employees see it, we direct the email to Triage. The Triage system will investigate it through AI technology to see if it's a phishing email or not. If it is a phishing email, it will quarantine it and erase it from the environment."
"From what we have seen, it is very scalable. We have recently acquired a company where someone had a ransomware attack when we joined networks. Within the course of just a few days, we were able to easily get CrowdStrike rolled out to about 300 machines. That also included the removal of that company's legacy anti-malware tool."
"The EDR and XDR features have been most valuable."
"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 product's deployment phase is easy."
"The DLP is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"I like the Overwatch feature the most."
"Scalability hasn't been an issue for us."
"The product provides good monitoring features."
 

Cons

"If they continue improving and enhancing this solution, it could be even faster and more accurate."
"Threat prevention should be their first priority, and false positive reductions are needed."
"I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better."
"The solution needs to have integration with on-premises security devices and security facilities. That means all the security products, including the perimeter firewall, the DMZ."
"The management of log aggregation is in need of improvement."
"In the six months that I have been using CrowdStrike, it has not been able to detect anything."
"The biggest issue with Falcon as a standalone product is it doesn't have very much reporting."
"Deployment in cloud environments is challenging. Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options."
"Currently, I do not see any tangible benefits from CrowdStrike regarding incident improvement time, response time, or cost saving."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."
"The other administrator and I can log in to check the exact details of what happened, what was running, and what caused the detection. We know exactly what was happening on the end users PC and we can tell if it's something that we actually need or something that's malicious."
"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."
"All I can say about the licensing cost is that it's negotiable."
"It is an expensive product, but I think it is well worth the investment."
"It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it."
