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.

Efficient log management enhances activity monitoring despite VPN user issue

Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users. When a VPN user logs in, it doesn't really capture the time before this. If you're testing with existing or new device integration, then the product will be good in the market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have seen a reduction to the performance hit to our operating systems."

"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 I like the most are the response time and the dashboard are both excellent."

"It provides very good protection and the ability to crosscheck environments."

"CrowdStrike Falcon has done an excellent job at detecting breaches. It has allowed us to stay in business and keep our systems up."

"CrowdStrike Falcon is effortless to use, and it's a cloud-specific platform. You only need to deploy the light agents on the licensed endpoints, and you're ready to work. Your dashboards will tell you the number of the endpoints being protected and the incidents. There are also incident dashboards with alerts that will tell you about the details."

"The product provides good monitoring features."

"There's almost no maintenance required. It's very low if there's any at all."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications. It seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial. I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team."

"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."

"The dashboard for administrators or assigned engineers can identify vulnerabilities, activities, infected systems, large files, or DDoS attacks."

"It is stable."

"The reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports"

"The tool's reports show activities."

"The support system is very good."

"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."

Cons

"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."

"We can do a threat analysis of any machine at any time, but that threat analysis is very limited."

"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."

"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."

"The price is too high."

"CrowdStrike should provide better visibility in its reporting. There should be more forensic details about detected threats."

"I believe nothing can be done to make CrowdStrike Falcon a ten out of ten, as I think it's one of the best solutions in the market. However, rating it a ten overall would imply there's no scope for improvement, but to survive in the market, changes must be made every day."

"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."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"The scalability is limited."

"Support could improve to make the solution better."

"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better."

"I would like to see more detailed reports."

"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."

"There's a lot to improve in terms of connectivity. Currently, we're utilizing it across various infrastructures and environments, including others' cloud. However, connecting it to our infrastructure and integrating it with some of our SMAX solutions poses difficulties."

"The first tier of customer service and support is not great."

"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."

More ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."

"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."

"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."

"All I can say about the licensing cost is that it's negotiable."

"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."

"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. I don't think we are getting charged more than what it is worth. It is fair, but I do not like how it is a la carte. I realize they do that so other organizations can buy and get the agent, getting it cheaper than you could otherwise. However, if you want the main core package, which has all the main features with the exception of maybe the multi-cloud protections, that can get pricier for an organization. So, you have to pick and choose what you want. I do not care for a la carte pricing."

"It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it."

"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"There is a yearly subscription for the solution."

"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is expensive. Its licensing costs are annual."

"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is a low-cost solution. It costs approximately $1,000 per month per server for a perpetual license."

"We paid for the license of the solution and the deployment. The price of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is less expensive than other solutions."

"There is a license required for these solutions. The customer can choose the license type, such as an annual license purchase or a perpetual license. If the customer wants maintenance they will have to pay annually."

"Licensing for ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is paid yearly."
