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

"I like the feature called RTC, the remote time connector."
"It provides very good protection and the ability to crosscheck environments."
"Their endpoint is pretty flawless. There is no lag on the machines at all. Even though I have a good overview of all the machines, that's pretty much the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The DLP is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"Falcon's best feature is its detection and blocking of threats."
"Cyberattack detection is very good. We use it for detecting different vulnerabilities, such as ransomware, virus, and malware. It is a good product today when compared to Symantec that we used previously."
"The feature that I find to be the most valuable, is being able to look at the system analysis and being able to baseline what is installed on the system."
"The solution can scale easily."
"It addresses environmental problems related to user authentication protocols like NTLM and ELSA."
 

Cons

"It would be nice if the dashboard had some more information upfront, and looked a little better."
"We encounter occasional issues, such as when disabling network access for a host that uses CrowdStrike."
"Threat prevention should be their first priority, and false positive reductions are needed."
"For CrowdStrike to work, all the machines need to have an internet connection. This makes it challenging to assist customers without an internet connection. We would like to have a mechanism or relay to make this possible."
"They respond quickly on the weekdays, but the weekend response times are slower."
"The tool is more expensive than other products in the market."
"The technical support could improve because I am in India and the support I receive is from the UK or Australia. It is difficult to manage the time difference. The service could be faster. However, when we do have the support they are knowledgeable."
"As for stability, I would rate it around eight because last year they faced some downtime with around eight thousand computers, but it will improve."
"The product's technical support services could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."
"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."
"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"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."
"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 on CrowdStrike is per license. It was about $42 per seat yearly."
"It's an expensive solution but you get a very good product for the price. Compared to other products, SentinelOne is definitely cheaper and the Microsoft E5 package is probably more expensive. Not many companies are willing to purchase CrowdStrike Falcon in Turkey due to the cost, but the market is changing."
