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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The endpoint and server management are the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy."
"Scalability is good. We have had no issues with it."
"The product provides good monitoring features."
"The anomaly detection is the most valuable feature."
"The main feature we rely on is the product's intelligence. We appreciate the advice from the team during implementation. One of the main reasons we chose this product is its compatibility with Office 365."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning that they use to check certain patterns in the endpoint devices. It checks the whole ecosystem or entire environment."
"The solution's reporting console is phenomenal, and I can get a lot of data out of it."
"The solution has a component that monitors Active Directory through an agent. It also monitors end-user activity. It gives us insight into what's happening on file servers and in our domain or the directory."
 

Cons

"CrowdStrike Falcon by itself does not supply in-depth reporting."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's GUI requires improvement for user-friendliness."
"They don't really have anything when it comes to scanning attachments."
"Technical support could be better than what is currently offered."
"The KDR solution is immature. They do not have much preemption in ITDR. Threat prevention should be their first priority, and false positive reductions are needed."
"The content-filtering features for children could be improved. We have young grandchildren aged 12 and 8. My daughter, their mother, wants to keep them from getting in trouble on the net. She looked at all these other solutions from Google, Microsoft, etc., and she couldn't figure out how to make any of those work. I told her that I bet CrowdStrike could handle this. Sure enough, CrowdStrike can do exactly that. It's the same solution that the Defense Department gets. It works, but it's a little complicated to implement. It could be simpler to set the policies."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"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 tool needs to improve its UI and reporting. It can also consume the resources of old machines."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is good and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."
"Years ago, when we bought CrowdStrike, you got everything it had. I was a little concerned when they broke this out into a la carte modules where you can buy EDR, Spotlight, etc., picking and choosing off the menu. I was a little worried that the solution would get watered down. However, I realized in my previous organization when we had the full suite that there were a bunch of features in it that we didn't have time to operationalize. So, I warmed up to it. I get the whole, "Look, you can pick and choose. Okay, everybody buys a steak, but do you want mashed potatoes, or do you want lobster mac and cheese?" So, you can pick the sides that you want, so you can buy the solution that you want and operationalize versus paying a lot of money and getting a bunch of things, but not using 60 percent of the tools in the box."
"The price is fixed with no room for negotiation."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive and should be reduced."
"I'm not directly involved in sales, so I can't comment on the exact price, but I know the price decreases the higher the quantity we purchase."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"The solution isn't very costly; it's affordable."
"StealthINTERCEPT's pricing is reasonable."
