Featured Reviews

Marc Chapel - PeerSpot reviewer
Stable product with efficient features for listing vulnerabilities
I recommend BitSight because it is very convenient to use. It has become a standard tool used in many companies. It is easy to share a few components of an algorithm for users. It is not ideal as it only reflects some of the reality of Internet-facing applications. However, it is the best solution at the moment. I rate it an eight out of ten.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product helps us identify the vulnerabilities of internet-facing applications."
"Offers open ports from an external point of view."
"The best thing about BitSight is the comprehensive list of risk vectors, covering compromised systems, diligence failures, and behavioral anomalies."
"Its customer service team responds quickly."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"I prefer BitSight due to its patch management capabilities. The score is a valuable feature. I have contacted the customer support through e-mail and their response rate is fast. I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The ability to execute real-time response, or, that you can connect to the agent and see exactly what processes are operating, is the most important feature of this solution."
"The most valuable features in CrowdStrike Falcon are the full EDR with antivirus, hunting, reporting, and RTR remote control."
"The features I like the most are the response time and the dashboard are both excellent."
"EDR is effective in CrowdStrike."
"The detection and response console is the most valuable feature."
"I like the Overwatch feature the most."
"At this point what is most valuable is the interface, which is easy to navigate."
 

Cons

"BitSight could improve the classes and lower-level detections of anomalies that compound the information used to compute the rating."
"There may be room for improvement in the methodology for identifying findings, as occasional errors occur on the technical side."
"Data enrichment is the major issue."
"The solution’s benchmarking should be improved."
"At the moment, when the vulnerability score decreases, it remains the same for quite a while, even though issues are resolved in 24 hours."
"Its factor analysis feature could be better."
"In CrowdStrike, with the variety of security tools available, learning the different query languages can be challenging."
"They should provide us with good visibility for everything."
"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."
"I would also like to see the endpoint firewall component produce some level of logging and feedback."
"There are some areas where some customers would prefer a different service."
"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."
"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."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is average."
"The product has a reasonable price."
"I am not aware of the price, but I believe that it is among the most expensive XDRs out there. Of course, this is dependent on the features you choose. Depending on the features, the price might increase."
"The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."
"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."
"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 price of CrowdStrike Falcon could be better. It is very expensive, we pay approximately $900 per month for the licenses. There are not any additional fees."
"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."
