Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Among CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable capabilities are its UEBA and SOAR functionalities, along with its seamless integration with any other SIEM solution."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy. That's very important for me. False-positive are very bad for everyone. As we are a financial institution, it's even worse. I like Falcon because it's very accurate."
"The solution offers great stability."
"One of the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon is when there are upgrades there are no additional fees."
"The scalability is good."
"The stability is very good."
"At this point what is most valuable is the interface, which is easy to navigate."
"I have found the connection to search the hosts for detections very useful in CrowdStrike Falcon."
"Comodo includes a firewall and antivirus in one solution. I also like the ability to remotely manage update packages on your systems. Comodo can even find a lost device and secure it remotely."
 

Cons

"The biggest issue with Falcon as a standalone product is it doesn't have very much reporting."
"They respond quickly on the weekdays, but the weekend response times are slower."
"If we have a dashboard capability to uninstall agents, I think that would be great."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the EDR functionality. Once the functionality of the solution improves, it will be even better in the market and able to compete with Carbon Black."
"The management of the solution could improve."
"It is cloud-based, and this does make some weary of the data being held on the cloud. Privacy requirements must be taken into account."
"The dashboard does not have the facility to export the reports in a PDF format, which I can quickly share with internal stakeholders."
"Technical support could be better than what is currently offered."
"Comodo includes a firewall and antivirus in one solution. I also like the ability to remotely manage update packages on your systems. Comodo can even find a lost device and secure it remotely."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are three to four licensing models available to choose from for CrowdStrike Falcon. The price of CrowdStrike Falcon depends on the distributor and the reseller partner. The price we received was good."
"The pricing is not bad. It's on the higher end of the market, but you get what you pay for."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon could be better. It is very expensive, we pay approximately $900 per month for the licenses. There are not any additional fees."
"While CrowdStrike Falcon offers significant security benefits, its high price point might make it prohibitively expensive for many small and medium-sized businesses, including companies like ours."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."
"Annual licensing."
"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."
"This solution has a very competitive price."
