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.

Used to identify and monitor any vulnerabilities or issues within the attack surface
I don't have anything that I don't like, but there is a feature that IONIX can also consider. We're a heavy user of IONIX services and have a very, very good partnership. However, IONIX only looks at certain domains, particularly the external-facing perimeter. There are services in modern-day organizations that could potentially expose internal resources to the perimeter side as well, like whether your authentication to internal identities is exposed through the internet. All organizations are very concerned about that. Even big organizations like Microsoft are falling for that kind of attack. IONIX can offer additional services to detect any potential bridging of very sensitive internal resources to the external side.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helps us to identify the threats according to the behavior of any process that is running on any particular system. It helps immensely to identify any malicious behavior on any endpoints."
"The stability is good; we haven't experienced any glitches or bugs."
"CrowdStrike enables the infrastructure managers to visualize all the events and get information about the network."
"The most valuable features of Crowdstrike Falcon XDR are Spotlight and Discovery, they are helpful. Additionally, the console is user-friendly, with fewer false positives than other solutions."
"The features we showcase to potential customers are prevention, malware protection, zero-day protection, and application scripting. Vulnerability assessment is another valuable feature."
"This solution consistently releases improvements. They have communicated their next two years of development which is powerful and covers all of our needs."
"The product provides good monitoring features."
"The real-time analytics aspect of CrowdStrike performs well because we get all logs in real-time, with no delay, allowing us to take action immediately."
"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."
"We're constantly surprised by how good IONIX is at detecting timely vulnerabilities."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of IONIX is the effortless setup."
"The integration was easy."
 

Cons

"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by having an easier way to search and use the interface for extracting queries from the data. The interface could improve."
"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."
"Threat prevention should be their first priority, and false positive reductions are needed."
"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."
"I think there's an opportunity to enhance the AI or at least the traps to say, if something changes from this baseline, let us know and flag it."
"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."
"I would like to see a more accurate integration and an option to check the local machine."
"Whenever there is a feature release (upgrade) where we push to all the endpoints, it causes something to be blocked without us knowing."
"It would be extremely beneficial if IONIX could integrate with popular SaaS services like Salesforce, Box, Zoom, or NetSuite."
"IONIX can offer additional services to detect any potential bridging of very sensitive internal resources to the external side."
"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."
"Integrating on-premise Jira with IONIX to track changes and discussions would be highly beneficial for us in the future."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."
"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 solution's pricing is great for us."
"I do not have experience with the cost or licensing of the product."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"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."
"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."
"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."
"Its pricing is fair."
"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."
"The pricing is good."
