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

"At this point what is most valuable is the interface, which is easy to navigate."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon for me is its unified sensor, applicable across all models."
"We have a small IT Team, and this allows us to get sleep at night, knowing that someone else is taking care of any incidents that occur."
"CrowdStrike provides a lot of visibility in their tool."
"I like Falcon's threat detection and endpoint investigation features. It's a user-friendly solution."
"The most valuable features in CrowdStrike Falcon are the full EDR with antivirus, hunting, reporting, and RTR remote control."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include Falcon Fusion workflows and endpoint detection capabilities."
"The solution has improved my organization by automating the detection and reporting of unwanted applications so we're aware of them and can respond appropriately."
"The tool's most valuable features have been its plug-and-play capability once configured and its reporting system is good.

Cons

"The solution should have included remote wipe capability out of the box."
"It is cloud-based, and this does make some weary of the data being held on the cloud. Privacy requirements must be taken into account."
"The solution isn't known in my market. The brand isn't as recognizable. Their shortcomings are more on the marketing side."
"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."
"Deployment in cloud environments is challenging. Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options."
"The console is not user-friendly or visually appealing and has room for improvement."
"CrowdStrike should add support for ransomware protection."
"The support for different OS versions needs improvement because sometimes due to business conditions, updating our OS is impossible."
"The tool needs to be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"Pricing and licensing seem to be in line with what they offer. We are a smaller organization, so pricing is important. Obviously, we would make a business case if it is something we really needed or felt that we needed. So, the pricing is in line with what we are getting from a product standpoint."
"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."
"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."
"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
