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

"CrowdStrike Falcon has helped my customers predict and prevent potential breaches because of its proactive approach."
"CrowdStrike Falcon serves as a next-gen AV, which basically does AI-based behavioral analysis to detect and act on malware or ransomware."
"The solution can scale easily."
"We are happy with CloudStrike's ease of use and touch notification."
"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."
"Since we deployed CrowdStrike, the network has become much calmer, and we now understand the sources of infections, which helps us prevent them from spreading."
"The CrowdStrike Falcon dashboard is good, and we haven't had any problems with it."
"The detection is very reliable. Also, OverWatch is a great feature."
"The solution is easy to implement, and its reporting is great."
 

Cons

"The skillsets needed to run CrowdStrike Falcon are extensive if you want to get the most value out of the tool."
"We can't do scanning audits or device blocking or application control."
"There is room for improvement in managing multiple customer IDs."
"The dashboard does not have the facility to export the reports in a PDF format, which I can quickly share with internal stakeholders."
"The new interface, the UI, seems a bit messy."
"To simplify the budgeting process for our clients, CrowdStrike should consider offering bundled packages that include essential features."
"Support, particularly related to after-sales and after deployment, could be improved a bit. If you need to connect to support, it takes at least a day to reach the support team and get a proper reply."
"In terms of features, I would like them to add detailed logging functionality in CrowdStrike. Currently, CrowdStrike detects the threats immediately based on the IOCs and the signature-based policies or many threat behaviors, but in terms of logging those threats, it is not very good. The information that they provide in the logs is very little. They can build more analytics into it."
"Tenable Identity Exposure is more expensive than Defender for Identity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution offers annual subscriptions. The pricing for this solution could be reduced."
"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."
"The pricing is not bad. It's on the higher end of the market, but you get what you pay for."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."
"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."
"It is an expensive product, but I think it is well worth the investment."
"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."
