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.

Is user-friendly, quick to install, and provides great visibility into our assets
IONIX helps us with KPIs by identifying our assets and locating publicly accessible vulnerabilities within those assets. Additionally, it provides a severity rating for each vulnerability. The tracking is important because it ensures we are not replicating efforts. IONIX prioritizes bug fixes based on severity using a scale of one to ten. This ensures that critical and high-priority issues are addressed immediately. IONIX helps us identify our most critical assets, the ones that have the biggest impact on our risk exposure. It can also pinpoint any of these assets that are externally facing, meaning accessible to anyone on the internet. This is extremely valuable because having critical assets exposed to the public internet significantly increases the risk of attack. By identifying these exposed assets and highlighting their vulnerabilities, IONIX provides a crucial service. IONIX excels at identifying risks in third-party digital supply chains. This makes it easy to leverage those KPIs and demonstrate a potential correlation between security and search engine optimization to our marketing team, thereby getting them involved. Fortunately, I haven't had to discuss any false positives. The majority of our alerts, particularly the medium-severity ones, seem to be triggered by hyperlinks to third-party websites. We have a significant number of these alerts, and I'm scheduled to meet with the marketing department to address them. The IONIX user interface is truly user-friendly. Setting up a link, and credentials, and navigating the platform was incredibly fast and required no prior configuration. Within five minutes, I was up and running, able to explore a report and initiate action from our infrastructure team. It's a remarkably fast and smooth experience. Non-technical people can see the evidence and take action based on their one-sentence actionable items. IONIX integrates with our SOC tools to automate tasks. We plan to further leverage IONIX by integrating our AWS public-facing assets and Jira ticketing system. This will allow for automated project creation for our infrastructure team. I realized the value of IONIX within the first five minutes. It identified two critical vulnerabilities that we were then able to address. The Active Protection feature automatically detects exploitable vulnerabilities in our system and takes control of them, without requiring manual intervention from us. IONIX can potentially take control of an asset before an attacker does. This would prevent the attacker from gaining access. IONIX would notify us of the issue and help us mitigate it before returning control of the asset. Ultimately, it's far better to have a trusted security provider like IONIX manage our assets than a malicious actor. The Active Protection feature is important to us for those reasons. IONIX helps us reduce our mean time to remediation by providing clear and concise information. This allows our marketing team to address certain situations without requiring IT intervention. I've accessed the IONIX threat exposure radar three times since its implementation, and thankfully, there haven't been any threats detected on any of those occasions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include Falcon Fusion workflows and endpoint detection capabilities."
"The machine learning behavior for anomaly detection is a valuable feature. It helps identify any suspicious or unusual activities within the system."
"The product provides good monitoring features."
"Everything is automatic. I install the sensor and renew the service. Periodically, I get a notice that they've shut something down."
"Because it is security product and acts like an AIML smart product, not merely based on daily/weekly updates and signatures."
"It provides very good protection and the ability to crosscheck environments."
"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."
"The features I like the most are the response time and the dashboard are both excellent."
"The portal is an excellent resource, offering valuable insights in a clear and actionable format. It provides a wealth of information, presented in a way that's easy to understand and use. This aligns perfectly with our key focus when working with IONIX: ensuring the data they deliver is highly actionable."
"The integration was easy."
"We're constantly surprised by how good IONIX is at detecting timely vulnerabilities."
"IONIX enables us to manage all our assets from one platform. We can see all the assets, login pages, web services, etc., from one place. It automatically scans everything so we can find new information about our organization. We don't need to add each asset or interface manually."
"The most valuable feature of IONIX is the effortless setup."
"My favorite is the dark web association that it does. It basically takes things that are unknown to you and then also runs those URLs through the dark web to see if there are potentially leaked credentials unknown to you. It links both of those together and gives you that on a report. You can identify potentially compromised credentials that were previously unknown to you, and you can do something about them. It is a cool feature."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Basically, they don't cover legacy OS or applications. That's the only issue we're concerned about"
"There are some areas where some customers would prefer a different service."
"I don't think anything is missing in CrowdStrike Falcon, but if they can manage their SOC solution instead of users or the end users or customers doing that, it will be very useful, just as Sophos does."
"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."
"The overall cost of CrowdStrike Falcon could be reduced."
"I would like to see a little bit more in the offline scanning ability. This just comes from my background in what I have done in other positions. They only scan on demand, so I always have this fear that we sometimes maybe email out a dormant virus and can be held liable for that. That is something where I would like to see a little bit more robustness to the tool."
"It would be extremely beneficial if IONIX could integrate with popular SaaS services like Salesforce, Box, Zoom, or NetSuite."
"There are a couple of opportunities for them under integrations. They only have two SIEMs. They do not have our current SIEM in there. It would be nice to have our current SIEM in there, which is Hunter's AI."
"The integration and mechanisms for scanning things after we fix them could be simpler. IONIX isn't an easy product to use, but it's one of the best solutions once you learn how to work with it."
"Our team is always looking for ways to improve the product. Although we understand we are not the only client, the company has been very receptive to our suggestions."
"Integrating on-premise Jira with IONIX to track changes and discussions would be highly beneficial for us in the future."
"IONIX can offer additional services to detect any potential bridging of very sensitive internal resources to the external side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."
"When it comes to licensing, customers can choose a bundle or select licences based on the specific features they would like access to. This solution comes with premium pricing. It is approximately 20 to 30% more expensive than competing solutions."
"The pricing is not bad. It's on the higher end of the market, but you get what you pay for."
"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."
"It is an expensive product, but I think it is well worth the investment."
"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 is relatively cheap."
"It's an expensive solution but you get a very good product for the price. Compared to other products, SentinelOne is definitely cheaper and the Microsoft E5 package is probably more expensive. Not many companies are willing to purchase CrowdStrike Falcon in Turkey due to the cost, but the market is changing."
"Its pricing is fair."
"The pricing is good."
"Since we were an early adopter of IONIX, I believe we have a very favorable pricing model."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable and at par with the rest of the industry."
