Featured Reviews

Alfredo Alvim - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides comprehensive insights into security posture
We work directly on their website to define all the assets that we need to scan. We have some meetings with the manager. For example, we set objectives to evaluate cyber risk periodically in our organization. One of these objectives is to assess the rating for our internal enterprise. We maintain a comprehensive database to ensure compatibility with our objectives. We aim to prevent a decrease in our security rating and maintain its value over time.
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."
"The best thing about BitSight is the comprehensive list of risk vectors, covering compromised systems, diligence failures, and behavioral anomalies."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Offers open ports from an external point of view."
"Its customer service team responds quickly."
"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."
"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."
"The anomaly detection is the most valuable feature."
"Because it is security product and acts like an AIML smart product, not merely based on daily/weekly updates and signatures."
"Regarding features, I appreciate its integration capabilities with identity providers...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Easy to use, intelligent, and stable threat detection software."
"I find nothing to miss in terms of stability; there are no glitches, and the solution is stable."
"CrowdStrike has improved our incident response capabilities."
"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."
 

Cons

"BitSight could improve the classes and lower-level detections of anomalies that compound the information used to compute the rating."
"At the moment, when the vulnerability score decreases, it remains the same for quite a while, even though issues are resolved in 24 hours."
"The solution’s benchmarking should be improved."
"Its factor analysis feature could be better."
"Data enrichment is the major issue."
"There may be room for improvement in the methodology for identifying findings, as occasional errors occur on the technical side."
"The solution could improve the policies themselves."
"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."
"Deployment in cloud environments is challenging. Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options."
"Technical support could be better than what is currently offered."
"In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features."
"It would be nice if the dashboard had some more information upfront, and looked a little better."
"It does take more time to scan than other solutions."
"Improvement is always possible. It's challenging to gauge how much future mitigation is provided, especially since we've only been using the product for about one and a half years. Every product faces this challenge because nothing is ever completely foolproof. So, besides relying on technology, we also focus on increasing our staff's awareness of security issues. Feedback from my colleagues suggests that the reporting and dashboarding of incidents could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is average."
"The product has a reasonable price."
"While CrowdStrike Falcon offers significant security benefits, its high price point might make it prohibitively expensive for many small and medium-sized businesses, including companies like ours."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"We pay between $30-50 per user for a yearly license, which is more expensive than SentinelOne or Bitdefender. However, CrowdStrike gives better value for money."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. I don't think we are getting charged more than what it is worth. It is fair, but I do not like how it is a la carte. I realize they do that so other organizations can buy and get the agent, getting it cheaper than you could otherwise. However, if you want the main core package, which has all the main features with the exception of maybe the multi-cloud protections, that can get pricier for an organization. So, you have to pick and choose what you want. I do not care for a la carte pricing."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
