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.

High fidelity cyber incident detection is near in real-time, enabling proactive & timely mitigation efforts
The nature of the system means it has to be implemented throughout the organizations. You need to implement it on the network layer, the email layer, the web proxy layer, and also the endpoints. Nevertheless, endpoint monitoring is very challenging due to the lack of automated method to install the endpoint agents. In one of our customer case, we have about 40,000 endpoints and we need to have a simplified method of deployment if we're going to implement the endpoint monitoring effectively. Product features also need some improvement in creating custom signatures for detection because that is not open to customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The pay-as-you-go model enabled me to deploy quickly from the AWS Marketplace management account, scaled protection for workloads without upfront commitments, and reduced the initial operational overhead."
"It seems to do a pretty good job of protecting the host. It offers good insights that it gives you when it has a detection. It's pretty incredible."
"Falcon's best feature is its detection and blocking of threats."
"The feature I like the most is the solution's detection."
"I haven't had any issues with bugs or glitches. I haven't had a problem with stability so far."
"It improves a lot of our security operations for threat management, and it provides a lot for our day-to-day operations too."
"As long as the machine is connected to the Internet, and CrowdStrike is running, then it will be on and we will have visibility; no VPNing in or making some type of network connection. CrowdStrike always there and running in the background; for us, that is big. We wanted something that could give us data as long as the machines connected to the Internet and be almost invisible to the employees."
"At this point what is most valuable is the interface, which is easy to navigate."
"Great automatic correlation of all internal activities."
 

Cons

"Some of Falcon's features are a bit pricey."
"There is room for improvement in managing multiple customer IDs."
"The solution could improve the policies themselves."
"The dashboard area must be improved. We have integration with Splunk, and we are creating a dashboard there. Their dashboard area must be up to date. It should have more details and more options to create the reports and things like that."
"They need to strengthen the forensic capabilities of this product, for e-discovery."
"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."
"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 could improve the EDR functionality. Once the functionality of the solution improves, it will be even better in the market and able to compete with Carbon Black."
"Monitoring the endpoint could be improved, it requires a huge effort."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon could be reduced. It is quite expensive if you compare it to other solutions, such as Blue Coat, Symantec, McAfee, or Kaspersky."
"I do not have experience with the cost or licensing of the product."
"The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive than other EDR solutions with similar features."
"I'm not directly involved in sales, so I can't comment on the exact price, but I know the price decreases the higher the quantity we purchase."
"The pricing is definitely high but you get what you pay for, and it's not so high that it prices itself out of the market."
"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"The pricing is not bad. It's on the higher end of the market, but you get what you pay for."
