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.

Has a good dashboard and is stable, scalable, and easy to implement
The dashboard is good During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved. I've been using this solution for four or five years. It is a stable solution. Norton Security Premium is scalable, and we are expanding our license. The architects and…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management. The solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage."
"Among CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable capabilities are its UEBA and SOAR functionalities, along with its seamless integration with any other SIEM solution."
"One of the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon is when there are upgrades there are no additional fees."
"It has good features for threat detection."
"The detection is very effective."
"We have seen a reduction to the performance hit to our operating systems."
"As long as the machine is connected to the Internet, and CrowdStrike is running, then it will be on and we will have visibility; no VPNing in or making some type of network connection. CrowdStrike always there and running in the background; for us, that is big. We wanted something that could give us data as long as the machines connected to the Internet and be almost invisible to the employees."
"I find nothing to miss in terms of stability; there are no glitches, and the solution is stable."
"Protects me from internet vulnerability."
"Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface."
"It does not take many resources during scanning."
"The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good."
"Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install."
"The most valuable feature is the quick installation."
"The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection."
"The internet security was a plus, and it's pretty good."
 

Cons

"The installation process for this software needs to be simplified."
"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."
"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 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."
"I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better."
"Forensic controls have room for improvement."
"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."
"This solution is relatively expensive."
"The product could always be more secure."
"The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background. Whenever it's scanning, my laptop becomes very slow, and the worst part is you cannot do anything about it. As this product is secured by my local IT team, you cannot even kill that process, and that's what I've felt about many other antivirus solutions. I'm using McAfee for personal use, and I have the same problem."
"Sometimes the program is too complex."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium."
"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."
"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is too high."
"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."
"I am not aware of the price, but I believe that it is among the most expensive XDRs out there. Of course, this is dependent on the features you choose. Depending on the features, the price might increase."
"The solution's pricing is great for us."
"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"The pricing is definitely high but you get what you pay for, and it's not so high that it prices itself out of the market."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"As I'm part of the technical team, not the budgeting team, I don't have information on CrowdStrike Falcon pricing."
"If they could come down in price that would be good. It's not exactly the lowest."
"Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little expensive."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
"As I have been a long-time customer, I was given a fair price of $49.95 per month for the first four to six months."
"I don't pay for a license."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
