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.

Has plug-and-play capability once configured and good reporting system
The tool's most valuable features have been its plug-and-play capability once configured and its reporting system is good. The most improved feature of asset auditing is its physical logging of all software. This allows us to understand what software and applications are installed on endpoints. We can easily check which software applications are installed in the network infrastructure during client processing or audits.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Falcon's best feature is its detection and blocking of threats."
"CrowdStrike displays a threat score when it detects an infection. This is helpful because not all detections are the same. It will classify them as ransomware, malware, phishing, etc. This feature helps us prioritize and cross-check with other EDR tools."
"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."
"CrowdStrike enables the infrastructure managers to visualize all the events and get information about the network."
"The scalability is good."
"All the features are beneficial."
"The DLP is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The anomaly detection is the most valuable feature."
"The tool's most valuable features have been its plug-and-play capability once configured and its reporting system is good.

Cons

"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could be enhanced by extending its security capabilities to include NDR and XDR."
"There are some aspects of the UI that could use some improvement, e.g., working in groups. I build a group, then I have to manually assign prevention policies, update policies, etc., but there is no function to copy that group. So, if I wanted to make a subgroup for troubleshooting or divide workstations into groups of laptops and desktops, then I have to manually build a brand new group. I can't just copy a build from one to another. Additionally, in order to do any work within a group, I have to first do the work on the respective prevention policy page or individual policy page, then remove the group if the group is assigned to a different prevention policy, remove the prevention policy, and then add the new one in. So, it can get a little hectic. It would be easier if I could add and remove things from the group page rather than having to go into the policy pages to do it."
"CrowdStrike costs a little more than its competitors."
"As for stability, I would rate it around eight because last year they faced some downtime with around eight thousand computers, but it will improve."
"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."
"Too many false positives."
"I would rate it an eight out of ten. It does what it needs to do but there's always room for improvement."
"The tool needs to be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution has a very competitive price."
"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."
"I do not have experience with the cost or licensing of the product."
"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."
"All I can say about the licensing cost is that it's negotiable."
"It is an expensive product, but I think it is well worth the investment."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
