Cloud deployment offers flexibility with performance and stability
The impact of CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox on automated features is maintained by the partner. Customizable reports partly help me with my team's investigations. We are not using any other security tools; we are only using the Falcon. In my organization, approximately 50 users are using CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox. There is nothing that requires maintenance; the partner handles it. I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox eight out of ten.

Delivers efficiency and agility with USB control limitations
One area where we lag is that, since we use everything from Heimdal, including XDR and other features, we also use the privilege manager feature called Elevation. What we lack is granular USB control. We have an issue where we can only switch USB on or off. I want to whitelist specific devices in the network, which I currently cannot do.

Cons

"The technical support is medium - they could improve, as communication is sometimes slow or late. There are missing detections that other tools catch. For improvements, we need easier ways to view full incident information and better presentation of data. Adding risk indicators for incidents would help decide on immediate actions. The platform should provide more information about incident risks to help less knowledgeable staff make decisions."
"While CrowdStrike is a powerful tool, the user interface is cluttered with many features, making it challenging to navigate."
"As for room for improvement, we can mention that maybe some additional integrations will be beneficial to cover the whole use cases."

"The detailed report is very valuable, but not always accurate. This is a great resource to share amongst team members and stakeholders after analysis."
"As of now, there is nothing specific in need of improvement."
"The product needs integration with SOAR products to add more integration points, which is important for various clients."
"What we lack is granular USB control. We have an issue where we can only switch USB on or off."
"What we lack is granular USB control."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox is not cheap; however, whether it should be more affordable is a decision best left to the company."
"Price-wise, the tool is a bit above mid-range, maybe 7 out of 10, where 10 is the most expensive."
