Featured Reviews

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.
Peter Nowak - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration of multiple firewalls enables advanced threat detection
The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable. Cybereason XDR facilitates two-way communication, where the firewall sends data to the Cybereason system, and it can communicate with the firewall to stop unwanted communication. Customers can deal with multiple types of firewalls with ease. The behavioral analytics help detect advanced threats when attackers use existing software. The multilayered protection approach, including NGAV, integrates XDR detection with antivirus to assess and counter threats effectively.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management. The solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage."
"It's very easy to set up."
"The scalability is good."
"I like the detection rates of mobile threats."
"The threat intelligence is the most valuable feature."
"It helps to prevent unauthorized access or identity theft from external sites. If your identity is stolen, you can ban it."
"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."
"It seems to do a pretty good job of protecting the host. It offers good insights that it gives you when it has a detection. It's pretty incredible."
"The solution has an investigation feature, which is useful for building storylines."
"The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable."
"Cybereason XDR's most useful feature is the investigation."
"The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable."
 

Cons

"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by adding manual scanning or serverless scanning. It is not available at this time."
"The solution isn't known in my market. The brand isn't as recognizable. Their shortcomings are more on the marketing side."
"The ability to receive text alerts natively in the console would be kind of cool."
"I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better."
"CrowdStrike should add support for ransomware protection."
"For CrowdStrike to work, all the machines need to have an internet connection. This makes it challenging to assist customers without an internet connection. We would like to have a mechanism or relay to make this possible."
"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 tool is more expensive than other products in the market."
"The one thing we sometimes have issues with is its integration with other security applications like antiviruses."
"Customer service is rated as a five out of ten. When they work and reach the right level, they are helpful, but getting to the right person can be time-consuming."
"Cybereason's customer support could be better."
"There could be more integrations with other data sources like NDR systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing on CrowdStrike is per license. It was about $42 per seat yearly."
"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."
"The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want."
"CrowdStrike is well priced. On a yearly basis, it costs between $60 and $100 per user."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive and should be reduced."
"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."
"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."
"The solution is cheaper than Microsoft Defender. It has a subscription and no standard license."
