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.
Yusuf_Hashmi - PeerSpot reviewer
Good discovery and vulnerability features and is easy to use
I think it's a good product for risk-based or exposure-based vulnerability management. It gives me the ability to identify potential weaknesses in my environment quickly. Once those vulnerabilities get identified on the console, it is only a matter of performing those actions. I would rate it nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CrowdStrike enables the infrastructure managers to visualize all the events and get information about the network."
"Probably the most valuable thing to me is the real-time response piece. The fact that I can connect to an endpoint as long as it is on the Internet, no matter where it is globally. I can remove files from the endpoint, drop files on the endpoint, stop processes, reboot it, run custom scripts, and deploy software. Pretty much no other tool can do all that."
"The most valuable features are the complete IPS and IDS."
"Because it is security product and acts like an AIML smart product, not merely based on daily/weekly updates and signatures."
"As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management. The solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage."
"Enables us to understand what processes are running on the system, what registry keys have been enabled."
"The UI is simple and self-explanatory. Everything is easy to understand."
"The managed services are distinguished, responsive, dynamic, flexible, and assertive when taking action."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"For me, the setup has been an easy process."
"I think it's a good product for risk-based or exposure-based vulnerability management."
"The feature of vulnerability management and discovery is what I use."
"The product gives us a lot of insight."
 

Cons

"The current database schema presents challenges and has potential for improvement."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by adding manual scanning or serverless scanning. It is not available at this time."
"This solution is relatively expensive."
"In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features."
"I have worked with their technical support on several problems that were never fully resolved."
"We can't do scanning audits or device blocking or application control."
"Some policies in the tool need to be fine-tuned. Customized IOCs need to be improved since they have certain shortcomings."
"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."
"The sensor update is a challenge that Tenable needs to address."
"The product has limited reporting capabilities and it isn't great at allowing for customization in reports."
"Tenable needs to provide a better way to manage private clouds."
"The sensor update is a challenge that Tenable needs to address. Sometimes they behave abruptly, requiring me to rework reinstalling the sensors on the endpoints."
"It would be nice if the product provided an agent for enforcing policies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution offers annual subscriptions. The pricing for this solution could be reduced."
"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."
"The pricing is not bad. It's on the higher end of the market, but you get what you pay for."
"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."
"I do not have experience with the cost or licensing of the product."
"The solution's pricing is great for us."
"Years ago, when we bought CrowdStrike, you got everything it had. I was a little concerned when they broke this out into a la carte modules where you can buy EDR, Spotlight, etc., picking and choosing off the menu. I was a little worried that the solution would get watered down. However, I realized in my previous organization when we had the full suite that there were a bunch of features in it that we didn't have time to operationalize. So, I warmed up to it. I get the whole, "Look, you can pick and choose. Okay, everybody buys a steak, but do you want mashed potatoes, or do you want lobster mac and cheese?" So, you can pick the sides that you want, so you can buy the solution that you want and operationalize versus paying a lot of money and getting a bunch of things, but not using 60 percent of the tools in the box."
"The price is too high."
"The pricing is fair."
