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.

Aggregates logs in one place and helps to review data points
We tried Graylog Security, starting with their inexpensive open-source version. We tested it out and continued using it for a while. As for the main differences between Graylog Security and other vendors, some users might prefer cloud-based platforms over on-premises solutions. It isn't inherently cloud-native, but that might not matter much for some.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We like Falcon's network visibility. We can see how threats are evolving on PCS or in the company network. The solution's real-time incident response is very fast."
"Falcon has the capacity to identify potential problems quickly. The administrator can deploy the agent, and the users cannot change it. This assures you that the agent remains on this device. Also, the agent can act preemptively to provide alerts about potential problems."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"This solution consistently releases improvements. They have communicated their next two years of development which is powerful and covers all of our needs."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon for me is its unified sensor, applicable across all models."
"The most valuable features are the complete IPS and IDS."
"The feature I like the most is the solution's detection."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon are the AI in detecting and real-time detections."
"The tool aggregates logs. We can see the logs in one place."
"We use the solution to collect logs."
 

Cons

"I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better."
"Support, particularly related to after-sales and after deployment, could be improved a bit. If you need to connect to support, it takes at least a day to reach the support team and get a proper reply."
"As the company has grown, the technical support has felt less personal."
"The management of log aggregation is in need of improvement."
"Threat prevention should be their first priority, and false positive reductions are needed."
"It can be expensive depending on the features you select."
"I've found that CrowdStrike's technical support could benefit from increased technical expertise."
"In the future release of CrowdStrike Falcon, they should add a sandbox feature."
"Graylog Security needs to incorporate security scorecards."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 is an expensive product, but I think it is well worth the investment."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"The pricing and licensing are fairly good. It is definitely not a cheap product, but I have felt that it is worth the money that we spent. So, we have discussed it in the past, and were like, "Yes, it is probably pricier than some other solutions, but we also feel they really are the leader. We are very comfortable with their level of expertise. So, it's kind of worth the price that we pay.""
"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"There are approximately a hundred different modules you have to purchase, depending on what you want to do. I have most of the modules. How it works is you buy the portfolio, you have to decide all the components you want in it, and then they price out a bundle for you. I have almost all of the package features in my bundle. You only need to pay for the modules you want."
"The product is expensive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."
"I rate the tool's pricing a one out of ten."
