Featured Reviews

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

"The most beneficial features of CrowdStrike Falcon are that it is easy to install, easy to manage, lightweight, and it can stop breaches."
"The threat intelligence is the most valuable feature."
"It's given me a level of confidence that my network is secure."
"The malware protection is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"I like Falcon's threat detection and endpoint investigation features. It's a user-friendly solution."
"The features we showcase to potential customers are prevention, malware protection, zero-day protection, and application scripting. Vulnerability assessment is another valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is its threat analysis."
"There are two things which customers really like about CrowdStrike. If they buy managed services from CrowdStrike, it offers them detection of security issues in one minute. If you buy their professional services, they offer insurance where you can claim up to $5 million if there's a breach. This is a huge upsell for customers."
"The product gives us a lot of insight."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"The feature of vulnerability management and discovery is what I use."
"For me, the setup has been an easy process."
"I think it's a good product for risk-based or exposure-based vulnerability management."
 

Cons

"Enhancements in reporting and forensic analysis could benefit the product."
"The management of log aggregation is in need of improvement."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's GUI requires improvement for user-friendliness."
"I'm concerned about the recent issue that involved a faulty update."
"It does take more time to scan than other solutions."
"We can't do scanning audits or device blocking or application control."
"It would be nice if they did have some sort of Active Directory tie-in, whether that be Azure or on-prem. Sometimes, it is difficult for us to determine if we are missing any endpoints or servers in CrowdStrike. We honestly don't have a great inventory, but it would be nice if CrowdStrike had a way to say this is everything in your environment, Active Directory-wise, and this is what doesn't have sensors. They try to do that now with a function that they have built-in, but I have been unsuccessful in having it help us identify what needs a sensor. So, better visibility of what doesn't have a sensor in our environment would be helpful."
"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."
"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."
"It would be nice if the product provided an agent for enforcing policies."
"The sensor update is a challenge that Tenable needs to address."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
"There are approximately a hundred different modules you have to purchase, depending on what you want to do. I have most of the modules. How it works is you buy the portfolio, you have to decide all the components you want in it, and then they price out a bundle for you. I have almost all of the package features in my bundle. You only need to pay for the modules you want."
"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."
"The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want."
"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."
"We pay between $30-50 per user for a yearly license, which is more expensive than SentinelOne or Bitdefender. However, CrowdStrike gives better value for money."
"CrowdStrike is well priced. On a yearly basis, it costs between $60 and $100 per user."
"I do not have experience with the cost or licensing of the product."
"The pricing is fair."
