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.
Kevin - PeerSpot reviewer
Peace of mind in identifying compromises in your M365 tenants
Huntress Managed ITDR examines various signals from the M365 tenants. If anything suspicious is identified, their SOC analysts can take a closer look and subsequently take action. It's a comprehensive solution covering endpoints and cloud tenants, offering peace of mind. I recognized its benefits immediately, as it provides protection against M365 identity compromises, like admin account breaches.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the vulnerability assessment and proactive hunting features of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The anomaly detection is the most valuable feature."
"The stability is good; we haven't experienced any glitches or bugs."
"CrowdStrike provides a lot of visibility in their tool."
"I like the detection rates of mobile threats."
"The scalability is good."
"The DLP is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"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."
"Huntress Managed ITDR examines various nulls from the M365 tenants. If anything suspicious is identified, their SOC analysts can take a closer look and subsequently take action."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"Implementing Huntress Managed ITDR has improved our business by allowing us to be more proactive with our security posture."
"The centralized management with the EDR and ITDR is beneficial."
"I rate the overall solution as a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"The pricing is a bit too high."
"A year and a half ago or more, if you put in a support request by email, then it wasn't timely addressed. It could be a day to three days before you received a response, which was a bit frustrating. There was a lot of customer feedback around this issue, which has been greatly refined."
"I would like to see a more accurate integration and an option to check the local machine."
"CrowdStrike Falcon sometimes wrongly flags things as malicious. Let's say a user is active on Chrome only. Sometimes, our cross-segmenting will fetch from the backend data and show that it is malicious because of memory or CPU utilization."
"In the six months that I have been using CrowdStrike, it has not been able to detect anything."
"I would like to see the machine learning feature enhanced."
"In terms of features, I would like them to add detailed logging functionality in CrowdStrike. Currently, CrowdStrike detects the threats immediately based on the IOCs and the signature-based policies or many threat behaviors, but in terms of logging those threats, it is not very good. The information that they provide in the logs is very little. They can build more analytics into it."
"They don't really have anything when it comes to scanning attachments."
"If anything, it's created more work, but that's because we're now seeing things that we weren't seeing before."
"More in-depth reporting could be beneficial for the solution."
"The product needs further maturity, with some improvements in the user interface."
"The product needs further maturity, with some improvements in the user interface."
"More in-depth reporting could be beneficial for the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive and should be reduced."
"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."
"The price is too high."
"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."
"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."
"We pay between $30-50 per user for a yearly license, which is more expensive than SentinelOne or Bitdefender. However, CrowdStrike gives better value for money."
"It is an expensive product, but I think it is well worth the investment."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."
