Saif Ullah Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
Boosts security by automatically blocking applications or activities, but query responses have been slower recently
For the past six months, we have been facing some issues. Because it is a cloud-based infrastructure, it has been getting slower. There are no bugs because they release updates continuously. We highly appreciate that, but during hunting or running a query on different logs, the time frame has increased in the past six months. It takes longer to give us the results. Another issue is the lack of proper documentation. During investigations, there is no proper documentation available. This is a problem because many people are saying there should be proper documentation explaining what CrowdStrike captures from the machine and the meaning of it.
Jos Badimo - PeerSpot reviewer
Test assurance improves compliance and products with good performance
The user interface could be improved to facilitate easier navigation. The most significant issue I encounter with the solution is the user interface. It would be beneficial if I could remain on one screen most of the time. Even if the system navigates me to another screen, it should effectively return me to the main screen.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The scalability of the product has been great."
"It provides alerts on suspicious command executions, helping us safeguard our systems."
"The initial setup is easy ."
"The solution has login features like multi factor authentication."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security are Cloud Security Posture Management and Cloud Workload Protection, offering more visibility and protection across our cloud environment."
"We like the solution's management and monitoring tools for our network. We use it to monitor our network between workstations and outside our organization. The AI provides useful visualizations of our network on a dashboard."
"I find the easy installation process, quick detection capabilities, and the cloud-based console very useful for this solution."
"Falcon is a cloud-based technology, so its resource usage is light. You deploy the agents to your endpoints, but the processing is done on the cloud, so you're CPU utilization is only about 2 percent. Some others solutions use between 30 to 60 percent."
"CyberFlood's best features are its user-friendliness and scheduling function."
"The testing compliance feature is particularly impressive."
"CyberFlood is flexible."
"The testing compliance feature is particularly impressive."
"Our customers use it to check for unauthorized file transfer."
"The feature I find most valuable is the traffic generator."
 

Cons

"There are no bugs because they release updates continuously. We highly appreciate that, but during hunting or running a query on different logs, the time frame has increased in the past six months. It takes longer to give us the results."
"The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."
"For the past six months, we have been facing some issues. Because it is a cloud-based infrastructure, it has been getting slower."
"The log scale or Humio side of it where it collects the data and expands into the XDR world still needs time to develop in terms of the way it combines the data and metadata that flows into the platform. I know they're working on it."
"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
"It gets the work done, but the main problem with the solution is that if you remediate anything, it takes 45 days for you to get any of the features displayed on the dashboard. This is the real weakness of CrowdStrike. Their customer support is also not ready to help with it. If you remediate any cloud vulnerability that they are giving you, such as removing a host from your organization, it takes around 45 days for them to remove it from their console."
"I would not say the tool's integration capabilities were straightforward because the complexity depends on the volume of the data."
"There were some integration issues with this product."
"The user interface could be improved to facilitate easier navigation."
"CyberFlood's accessibility and support for multiple browsers could be better."
"The initial setup is not straightforward and can be quite challenging."
"Sometimes, when you configure parameters the hardware can't run, it will get stuck at those points without telling you what happened. It would be helpful if the error reporting provided more details about why the test setting is not running. It would be nice if there were a space in the hardware module for you to add some external hardware for more rigorous testing."
"I would also like to see updates on a more frequent schedule."
"The solution needs more ports, more speed, and more gigabytes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive, but it adds value."
"The pricing is reasonable, neither overly expensive nor excessively cheap, making it competitive compared to other market options."
"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
"It's an expensive product"
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."
"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."
"The price is not too high, it is okay."
"CyberFlood is reasonably priced."
