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.

Great features, good support, and lots of functionality
I'm an end-user. We use the solution on multiple clouds. I'd advise users to validate which product and metrics will help them the most. The solution has multiple functionalities. Don't go in blindly. Know what you want to get out of the product. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten based on the scalability potential.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to remote into other devices for investigation and the way it presents a graphical representation of the detection, like the parent-child process, are valuable features."
"The solution's reporting console is phenomenal, and I can get a lot of data out of it."
"The most valuable features are the complete IPS and IDS."
"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 most beneficial features of CrowdStrike Falcon are that it is easy to install, easy to manage, lightweight, and it can stop breaches."
"Falcon has the capacity to identify potential problems quickly. The administrator can deploy the agent, and the users cannot change it. This assures you that the agent remains on this device. Also, the agent can act preemptively to provide alerts about potential problems."
"I like Falcon's threat detection and endpoint investigation features. It's a user-friendly solution."
"I value the overall behavior analysis of CrowdStrike. The engine of this product is what drew us to this solution."
"They have multiple great features."
 

Cons

"Unfortunately, native applications are not supported."
"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."
"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."
"Too many false positives."
"This solution is relatively expensive."
"The performance could be better."
"The Integration with tools, SOC tools, could be better."
"The price is too high."
"We end up facing a lot of issues after upgrades."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is great for us."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive than other EDR solutions with similar features."
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
"The price is high in comparison to similar brands."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive."
