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.

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

"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."

"I like Falcon's threat detection and endpoint investigation features. It's a user-friendly solution."

"The solution's reporting console is phenomenal, and I can get a lot of data out of it."

"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is crowdsourcing intelligence."

"The detection is very reliable. Also, OverWatch is a great feature."

"The Protect functionality on the laptops provides great visibility into what's occurring, and the cloud management of the platform is what we needed."

"CrowdStrike has improved our incident response capabilities."

"The detection and response console is the most valuable feature."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"The product gives us a lot of insight."

"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 solution is very easy to set up."

"For me, the setup has been an easy process."

Cons

"I want more ability to customize how you summarize the data. The default views are fine, but it would be interesting to be able to customize them based on the kind of data you want to see immediately. This can help the administrator gain an immediate overview and reduce the investigation time."

"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve if it became an XDR. When we look only to an end-point, we lost the context of the environment. I know it's another line of design of the product. However, if CrowdStrike becomes an XDR, it could be very good."

"Any kind of integration that you want to do, such as using the API to connect to a SIEM, is complex and it will be expensive to do."

"CS Falcon sensing capabilities for non-domain machines should be enhanced since the agent doesn't detect the neighbor's IP Address and/or any anomaly which was identified in the network for the non-domain machine."

"CrowdStrike should provide better visibility in its reporting. There should be more forensic details about detected threats."

"Deployment in cloud environments is challenging. Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options."

"I would like to see equal support across all versions. Aside from that, I would say most of the features are there."

"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."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"Tenable needs to provide a better way to manage private clouds."

"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."

"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

"The pricing is not bad. It's on the higher end of the market, but you get what you pay for."

"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 price is fixed with no room for negotiation."

"The solution's pricing is great for us."

"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."

"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."

"Pricing and licensing seem to be in line with what they offer. We are a smaller organization, so pricing is important. Obviously, we would make a business case if it is something we really needed or felt that we needed. So, the pricing is in line with what we are getting from a product standpoint."

"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."
