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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"EDR is effective in CrowdStrike."
"Its integration capability is valuable. It integrates easily with any OS."
"The detection is very reliable. Also, OverWatch is a great feature."
"Scalability is good. We have had no issues with it."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's scalability is good. We have thousands of students using this solution."
"As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management. The solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is crowdsourcing intelligence."
"The solution is easy to implement, and its reporting is great."
 

Cons

"CrowdStrike costs a little more than its competitors."
"Tighter integration around XDR could be included."
"Falcon could include more integrative features."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by having an easier way to search and use the interface for extracting queries from the data. The interface could improve."
"They need to strengthen the forensic capabilities of this product, for e-discovery."
"The installation process for this software needs to be simplified."
"Technical support could be better than what is currently offered."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by adding manual scanning or serverless scanning. It is not available at this time."
"Tenable Identity Exposure is more expensive than Defender for Identity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."
"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."
"Annual licensing."
"It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it."
"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."
"Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace is just a click away. Since we were using the on-premise version of the product, we continued on the cloud by purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace."
"CrowdStrike is a reasonably priced tool."
"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."
