Experienced reduced alert fatigue with streamlined notifications
We use Blackpoint Cyber MDR for our higher-end clients who need a higher level of control over security I appreciate that there are people behind the scenes sorting out valuable alerts from those that are not, so I only get alerts when they are real. This feature ensures that I am notified only…
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

"I appreciate that there are people behind the scenes sorting out valuable alerts from those that are not, so I only get alerts when they are real."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate the overall solution as a ten."
"The solution also watches over Microsoft 365 and keeps a copy of logs."
"The solution is all encompassing and can incorporate email monitoring."
"On my end, the most valuable feature of this solution is that I can install it and forget about it. After that, their SOC team takes over and they only call me when there's a problem."
"I appreciate that there are people behind the scenes sorting out valuable alerts from those that are not, so I only get alerts when they are real."
"Their SOC is phenomenal in not monitoring and responding and taking action."
"CrowdStrike Falcon helps with endpoint protection by having very low memory utilization and processor usage, so it doesn't impact the computer system performance, and the computer system works very fast compared to all other endpoint protection solutions."
"The product provides good monitoring features."
"The feature I like the most is the solution's detection."
"The features I like the most are the response time and the dashboard are both excellent."
"All the features are beneficial."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has done an excellent job at detecting breaches. It has allowed us to stay in business and keep our systems up."
"Cyberattack detection is very good. We use it for detecting different vulnerabilities, such as ransomware, virus, and malware. It is a good product today when compared to Symantec that we used previously."
"The solution's most valuable feature is that it is robust and can detect almost every malicious activity that occurs within the endpoint."
 

Cons

"While I am very satisfied with the service, supporting additional platforms, particularly Linux support, would be a beneficial improvement."
"The interface could be more intuitive."
"Some texts seem to report items as normal too quickly."
"While I am very satisfied with the service, supporting additional platforms, particularly Linux support, would be a beneficial improvement."
"The feature we keep asking for is a vulnerability scan."
"The interface could be more intuitive. More transparency is needed in the interface as a lot of details are hidden behind the scenes, making them difficult or impossible to access."
"The solution does not tie into other EDR products like CyberArk or CrowdStrike but that might be more useful."
"The UI is not efficient."
"I would rate it an eight out of ten. It does what it needs to do but there's always room for improvement."
"The console is not user-friendly or visually appealing and has room for improvement."
"The support for different OS versions needs improvement because sometimes due to business conditions, updating our OS is impossible."
"The malware analysis could be improved, as that's what we use the solution for the most and that change would make it a better EDR tool."
"CrowdStrike should provide better visibility in its reporting. There should be more forensic details about detected threats."
"If CrowdStrike can further expand its support for XDR compatibility, that would give it an edge over all the other competing new products."
"The Integration with tools, SOC tools, could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is in line with other products."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Different components are additional price points. We got the components that were right for us, but other organizations may require more (or less) components to suit their needs."
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."
"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
"Annual licensing."
"It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it."
"The pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon is competitive."
"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."
