Has significantly influenced our security strategy as it helps us plan attacks and take initial steps in compromising networks
I haven't explored cost-saving aspects or utilized integration capabilities within BloodHound. Additionally, I haven't used AI features in Broadcom for threat detection yet, leaving that to our IT team to handle. If you're already familiar with the field, learning to use BloodHound Enterprise shouldn't be too tricky as the UI is user-friendly and the features are straightforward. I'd rate my overall experience around an eight, mainly due to occasional performance issues and deeper operational concerns. However, in terms of features, UI, and ease of use, it's top-notch.

Cloud-native security has improved real-time threat detection and streamlined daily operations
While CrowdStrike Falcon is strong overall, there are a few areas where it could be improved. First, the user interface can be a bit complex for new users. Sometimes, navigating through different sections and understanding detailed alerts takes time, especially for teams without deep security expertise. The cost is also something to consider, as the features and additional modules can increase pricing, which may be a challenge for smaller teams. Additionally, some integrations with simpler reporting would be helpful. The onboarding process for new users is a bit challenging for beginners to understand all features and workflows in the product. More simplified documentation, step-by-step guides, and real-world examples could help new users get comfortable faster. A structured onboarding or basic training module would be very useful for teams who are new to endpoint security tools. In addition, having more in-product guidance and tooltips within the dashboard could make navigation easier and reduce the learning curve. Overall, improving training resources and onboarding support would make the platform more user-friendly, especially for new users.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The custom Cypress queries in BloodHound Enterprise is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need to re-image machines as much as we had to."
"I like the overall reports of this solution. They are crisp, and to the point."
"One of the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon is when there are upgrades there are no additional fees."
"In general, we feel more secure knowing that we are not relying on multiple different technologies to provide a different kind of protection."
"It's very easy to set up."
"Regarding features, I appreciate its integration capabilities with identity providers...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"CrowdStrike's advantage is that the agent is light, so it doesn't require many resources on the machines, it's easy to install, and the results are useful to the organization."
"The stability is very good."
 

Cons

"A few months ago, there was a problem with the digesters having trouble importing data from the normal digesters, a significant issue that needed attention."
"Tighter integration around XDR could be included."
"We sometimes get false positives."
"There are some aspects of the UI that could use some improvement, e.g., working in groups."
"They need to strengthen the forensic capabilities of this product, for e-discovery."
"I would like to see the machine learning feature enhanced."
"We have had to go back to CrowdStrike, and say, "Our search are taking far too long for even one host.""
"Sometimes CrowdStrike changes the GUI, and they need to be better at informing us and providing guidance concerning that."
"The biggest issue occurred when every computer worldwide experienced a blue screen."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."
"When it comes to licensing, customers can choose a bundle or select licences based on the specific features they would like access to. This solution comes with premium pricing. It is approximately 20 to 30% more expensive than competing solutions."
"The solution's pricing is great for us."
"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."
"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."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive."
"The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want."
"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."
