Featured Reviews

Dipak M Gohil - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Manager at Jord International Pty Ltd
Efficient threat detection and seamless deployment improve overall security
The single panel console of CrowdStrike Falcon is very user-friendly, which is what we are looking for. Having multiple administrators between various offices with this single console gives us the ability to see all offices, branch offices, and partners, making it very useful to detect machines, identify machines, and check security risks. Everything in the single console is very useful. CrowdStrike Falcon has positively impacted our organization in terms of efficiency because it's very lightweight, easy to deploy, easy to manage, and works very efficiently. It quickly detects issues and doesn't have a signature-based system, so it works fast and takes immediate action.

Positive feedback highlights lightweight design and compatibility while suggesting more AI integration
I think Silverfort is actually a really good product. Silverfort helps identify blind spots in your identity and access management, covering areas that traditional systems don't, such as command line tools. It checks your Active Directory authentication and continues only if the check is okay, plus it works with older protocols such as NTLM, which is a significant advantage. The product is fairly new, but it's great; it's lightweight and agent-based, acting as a bridge between your Active Directory and any other application, with no impact on the applications. Silverfort is one of the few vendors that offers a free POC, and usually the customer ends up taking it, as they've lost very few deals in this manner. It's complementary to other tools you may have, whether they are TAM solutions such as Delinea or Xerox. Silverfort also has a lightweight adapter for domain controllers, and it finds gaps in security. Its capabilities are expanding regularly, with new features voted on every few months. For companies with large Active Directory implementations and zero staff, Silverfort provides instant results in identifying risks and blind spots. It also includes built-in virtual features, and while I don't know the exact pricing, it's not expensively priced, making it an attractive option.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We compared multiple solutions in EDR and out of them, CrowdStrike gave the most features and value for money."
"The platform is very scalable."
"The UI is simple and self-explanatory. Everything is easy to understand."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need to re-image machines as much as we had to."
"The CrowdStrike Falcon agent is very lightweight. Users never complain about their PCs getting stuck and things like that."
"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."
"It is an easy product to deploy."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy."
"Silverfort helps identify blind spots in your identity and access management, covering areas that traditional systems don't, such as command line tools."
 

Cons

"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 UI is not efficient."
"The dashboard does not have the facility to export the reports in a PDF format, which I can quickly share with internal stakeholders."
"The price is too high. When we are reaching a new renewal, management always asks what's going on in the market."
"In the six months that I have been using CrowdStrike, it has not been able to detect anything."
"The management of the solution could improve."
"The portal can be clunky to navigate at times and has room for improvement."
"I have worked with their technical support on several problems that were never fully resolved."
"If Silverfort could integrate a gentle type of AI similar to Microsoft Copilot or enable workflow creation similar to Salesforce, it would further improve user navigation, even though the platform is already simple."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."
"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."
"We have a yearly subscription and find the price to be good. I'd give it a rating of four out of five for price, we got a good discount."
"CrowdStrike is well priced. On a yearly basis, it costs between $60 and $100 per user."
"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."
"The price is too high."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."
