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.
Harshal Pachpande - PeerSpot reviewer
Automating intelligence workflows significantly reduces false positives and enhances response efficiency
ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) offers valuable workflows that integrate with our SOAR platform. It performs dedicated threat scoring capabilities which enrich internal indicators and automate response actions. This has been a key feature in our environment, which we have utilized for picking IOCs. The platform can be domain-specific and customer-specific, allowing data isolation for each customer. The scoring capabilities of ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) deserve a rating of nine out of ten. Its scalability and threat scoring capabilities have reduced false positives in our detection, as we dynamically change the IOCs which are updated daily through scheduled polling time over QRadar and SOAR.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The real-time analytics aspect of CrowdStrike performs well because we get all logs in real-time, with no delay, allowing us to take action immediately."
"Regarding features, I appreciate its integration capabilities with identity providers...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The platform is very scalable."
"The main feature we rely on is the product's intelligence. We appreciate the advice from the team during implementation. One of the main reasons we chose this product is its compatibility with Office 365."
"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."
"Falcon's best feature is its detection and blocking of threats."
"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."
"The features I like the most are the response time and the dashboard are both excellent."
"The tool's installation, integration, and playbooks are very straightforward."
"It's a solid platform and is stable enough. It is not complicated and is easy to use."
"The product automatically generated a threat score based on the maliciousness of an IP."
"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) has positively impacted my organization by reducing our MTTD through enriching alerts and providing contextual threat intelligence in real-time, cutting down our triage time for high-priority incidents."
"ThreatConnect has a highly user-friendly interface."
"We have been able to see a return on investment as our clients believe in us more."
"I like their customer support."
"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) has positively impacted my organization by reducing our MTTD through enriching alerts and providing contextual threat intelligence in real-time, cutting down our triage time for high-priority incidents."
 

Cons

"Deployment in cloud environments is challenging. Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options."
"On the firewall management side, there should be more granularity. There should also be more granularity for device control. Everything else is brilliant."
"I'm concerned about the recent issue that involved a faulty update."
"Technical support could be better than what is currently offered."
"A year and a half ago or more, if you put in a support request by email, then it wasn't timely addressed. It could be a day to three days before you received a response, which was a bit frustrating. There was a lot of customer feedback around this issue, which has been greatly refined."
"We can't do scanning audits or device blocking or application control."
"For further improvements, I can only think of one example because this is very important for us; they could reduce the price. Then it would deserve a rating of seven."
"If CrowdStrike can further expand its support for XDR compatibility, that would give it an edge over all the other competing new products."
"It would be good to have more feeds and more integrated sources for enrichment."
"Integration is an area that could use some improvement."
"ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) could be improved by addressing challenges such as the customization over the tagging mechanism, where filtering based on individual tags is not available, limiting data export."
"I couldn’t get any training videos online when I was working with the tool."
"I would like to see improvements in the time zone support of their customer service, considering users are from different time zones."
"Support is an area with which nobody is ever fully satisfied, so it can be improved."
"Sometimes, when using the solution, it slows down, affecting our ability to mitigate threats."
"They should make it a little bit easier to generate events and share them with the community"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing are fairly good. It is definitely not a cheap product, but I have felt that it is worth the money that we spent. So, we have discussed it in the past, and were like, "Yes, it is probably pricier than some other solutions, but we also feel they really are the leader. We are very comfortable with their level of expertise. So, it's kind of worth the price that we pay.""
"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."
"The price is too high."
"We bought a very small number of licenses, then ran it for a year. We bought a 100 licenses for a year, so we didn't actually do a proof of concept. We just bought them. Then, the next year, we bought 10,000 licenses."
"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."
"Our licensing fees were between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, which was pretty expensive for a small business."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
"The price could be better."
"The tool is expensive."
"I rate the product price as six on a scale of one to ten, where one is extremely expensive, and ten means it is cheap."
"The price of this product is in the mid-range, not too expensive, nor inexpensive."
