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

"Its integration capability is valuable. It integrates easily with any OS."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"It is an easy product to deploy."
"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."
"Because it is security product and acts like an AIML smart product, not merely based on daily/weekly updates and signatures."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon are the AI in detecting and real-time detections."
"The 10 hours a week that we are freeing up from having to manage and monitor our AV solution has really allowed us to focus on other areas of the business. This has been a huge return on investment."
"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."
"It addresses environmental problems related to user authentication protocols like NTLM and ELSA."
 

Cons

"Some policies in the tool need to be fine-tuned. Customized IOCs need to be improved since they have certain shortcomings."
"They don't really have anything when it comes to scanning attachments."
"I would love to see more investment in Insight because CrowdStrike have an opportunity to potentially displace some of the vulnerability management vendors with the visibility they can see over time. I want to see them continue to evolve, e.g., what other things can they disrupt which are operational things we have to continue to do as an organization."
"If we have a dashboard capability to uninstall agents, I think that would be great."
"They need to strengthen the forensic capabilities of this product, for e-discovery."
"The pricing is a bit too high."
"We encounter occasional issues, such as when disabling network access for a host that uses CrowdStrike."
"The tool is more expensive than other products in the market."
"The product's technical support services could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."
"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
"This solution offers annual subscriptions. The pricing for this solution could be reduced."
"Annual licensing."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is one of the more expensive endpoint solutions on the market."
"It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it."
"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."
